You have 2 identical pistols....both brand new, same manufacturer, same make, same model, same caliber, same everything.
in one pistol, you use the same ammunition every time, all the time. same brand, grain, everything. always the exact same ammo.
in the other pistol, you use as many different kinds of ammo as you can find; different manufacturers, different grains, +P, +P+, reloads, hollow points....you get the idea, as many different variations of the same caliber ammo as you can possibly find.
now, you put the same number of rounds through both these pistols...let's say...100,000 rounds.
After doing this, are there any differences between the pistols? IYO, if after sending 100,000 of the same type rounds through pistol number 1, if you were to then send different ammo through it, would the pistol accept and fire that ammo as reliably as pistol number 2?
What would the differences, if any, be between the 2 pistols after having performed this experiment.
**this came up between a buddy and me while at the range this evening....just curious about any other thoughts/opinions.
thanks in advance for your responses.
have a great night all.
