I believe there are 1911's still serving with 500,000 rounds through them

Highly doubt they're all original...


Agree.


Like the story about George Washington's axe.

"That's his ax right there. Of course, I've had to change the handle once or twice and that's a newer head on it, but that's his axe."

As I said, the frames are marked 1945. The frame. Many of the 1911's the marines like force recon us will see 10,000 to 15000 round per deployment for training. It adds up.

Also, slides, barrels, and other parts will remain in service for a while but they are not serial numbered so its hard to tell their round counts.
