Several years ago, I bought one of the second production runs of S&W’s 629 Mountain Gun in 44Mag. I’m surprised to hear that at 10K, I may have to have some service work done on this little beast.
However, I can easily say that I’ve only fired maybe 3 or 4 boxes of shells through this revolver. I’ll also admit I did list this weapon on my CCW but it’s not carried, unless I’m “Up in the Woods” with it’s companion a Winchester 94 / 44Mag.
My point is the recoil is so harsh on this light weight 4” with full-boat mags, I can’t see me putting 10K rounds through it in my lifetime. 
Moderator, please let me know if I’m getting too far off topic. Maybe we can open a thread on Revolver Reliability 
btw 1buba; my accord had the belts and service at 96,000 miles and at 152000 miles and counting, it'll get another around 195,000.  |
Don't want to take this thread off topic either, but gotta clarify a couple of things...
RE: the 10k rounds and S&W, i've seen that number in several places, and i've also seen 15k in a couple. but, none of them ted type of loads... I'm curious if they were real hot handloads or not.
RE: the mountain gun - i was REAL close to buying that one. there are a few things about the ruger i liked better (there are a couple of threads out there on it), and i was blessed that the Redhawk i was shipped has a BEAUTIFUL trigger. :-)
RE: the fanbelt. our civic will turn 100k in the next couple weeks. The specs on it call for the civic calls for later, like 116k or some weird number. It WILL be done on time. lol
