There are 3 camps I hear from:
1. Train with the exact gun you carry. Don’t worry about how many rounds you have on it just make sure it’s clean.
2. Your carry gun only has a limited number of rounds through it to prove reliability and then no longer train with it. You would have a 2nd copy of this gun or similar gun family that you would shoot or train with to keep rounds off of your carry piece.
I guess there could be a 3rd camp
3. I train and carry multiple guns so none of them ever really get many rounds on them.
I personally subscribe to the camp of limiting my rounds on my carry weapon and then having a copy or similar to train with. I figure firearms are just like any other machine. The more wear and use the more likely something is to break when at the worst time.
This is a concept that I would like to hear everyone’s thoughts on. Which method do you subscribe to?
