Today (10/06/2009) I fired the 50,000th round from the Sig Sauer P226 Navy #NSW 14xx. It took five years, and 29 days.
The Sig P226 was puchased new on September 7th, 2004.
I kept a log on every round fired from the Navy P226. It was cleaned after almost every range session.
Here are some statistics:
*The recoil spring was replaced every 5,000 rounds.
*18,300 rds. the spring guide rod was replaced. It wore out from using Wolff springs (this is the only part replaced on the Sig).
*22,000-25,000, 3,000 between cleaning.
*28,000 rounds several failure to feed, due to faulty Remington ammo (these were the only failures).
*41,200 rounds hammer dropped three times (from single action). Continued to fire ok.
*126 trips to the range.
*Average 397 rounds fired per range trip.
*Cleaned with M-pro 7, and Gun Scrubber.
*Lubricants, Weapon Shield, and G96 oil.
Some ammunition statistics:
*Approximately 98% of the ammo fired was 115gr.
*Weight of fully loaded cartriges
1000rds.=26.36lbs.
10,000rds.=263.60lbs.
50,000rds.=1,318lbs.
*Total weight of bullets (based on 115gr. bullets)
60.87, 115gr bullets = 1 pound
50,000, 115gr bullets = 821.42lbs.
*50,000 rds. = 1,000, 50 round boxes
*1,000 boxes @ $10.00 each (approxmately)=$10,000

Looks great. I regret selling a 226 Navy I bought NIB for a song a few years back.

That thing is in remarkable shape for 50k. Sig builds a hell of a gun.

You have helped the Sig sellers. You have made enemies with the Sig buyers. Sigs are great pistols.

Send your data to sig and see if they don't hook you up for keeping the data? 10,000 dollars shooting their weapon might make them say, "here friend, take this 5.56 and do the same thing."
Haha, you never know. Awesome, and expensive, thing you've done!

Did you buy all of the ammunition factory new? Or did you reload some of it?
