Lol, it's fine. Replace the recoil spring if you want for [STRIKE]piece[/STRIKE] peace of mind, but it's fine. My carry gun saw more than twice that number the first year.Should I replace all springs and other small internals or just get a new one? It was my small gun edc carry.
My wife says clean it up and retire it to just target shooting / spare and get a new one.
Round count for that gun is around 4,500.
What he said^^^^^^^^^^Keep it, and keep carrying/shooting it. But, since the wife says go get a new gun... do that too
I have a Glock-27 (2.5 gen) I carried since 1996, we were issued a Glock-22 and Glock-27 as BUG, so, I carried it like a second coat of skin, fired thousands of rounds through it, in 2013, I vacationed with the family in Florida, (Hi Mickey), and on the way back home stopped by the most holy of places, Glock INC in Smyrna Ga.
I wanted Glock Night Sights put on my old boy, and since I was in the area, just dropped in.
Sad to say, the Glock tech, informed and showed me a slight hairline crack on my frame just above the top pin, and offerd to replace my frame, no charge. He said it was no big deal, but I decided to keep it as is, just not shoot the be-jezzus out of it, as I normally did, and to keep carrying it as usual.
Fast forward to December 2015, was at the range one afternoon, and decided to shoot up the Winchester PDX-1 180 gr ammo I carried out of it, and put in fresh.
Draw, Point, Pull trigger, (long silence) nothing. I knew it was loaded, and since I was at the range, I just removed un fired round, looked it over, put it back in the mag, reloaded the mag, Re-Point, Pull trigger and this time BOOM.
After the range session, I took ol boy home for s detailed strip and clean, looks OK, but I replaced all springs and, knowing I had his twin brother in 9mm a Glock-26, I hesitantly swapped them out.
It's all about having one when you need it right?
Take care of yours, but be aware someday they do wear out.
why would you not get the frame replaced?

That comes to 15 rounds per month.You carried this gun for 20 years and it only has 4,500 rounds through it? Am I missing something here?
