My 88-year-old mentor advises NOT to regularly shoot at range with carry gun -- it will shorten its life expectancy, i.e., dependability when needed in a life or death situation.
He advises a "once a year practice" is all one needs with carry gun, and target practice for proficiency is best done with another gun.
So, the question is: How many rounds (trigger pulles) does Springfield cite as a reasonable life expectancy for XDMc 9mm?
I want to take that number, divide by 50 rounds per year, to calculate how many years (er, centuries?) my mentor would have me "once a year" practice.
