[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 1235646, member: 3099"] I've shot my M&P until the loaded chamber indicator hole was totally clogged and the crud was oozing out of the barrel hood. Gun still ran and I have no idea how many rounds it had on it. A whole bunch because I use WST powder in my cast bullet loads and it's pretty clean burning. If you are using plated or jacketed bullets I'm sure I could run at least 8000 and probably much more. All lead bullets are just dirty, but WST powder mitigates that to a non-issue for all practical purposes. I have had more than a few striker reset failures but those were not related to cleanliness in my case and it's fixed now. Now days I just do what Mitch does. I usually run a bore snake through the barrel a few times and hit all the lube points with CLP before each match or range session. I would say I detail strip and clean about every 5000 rounds.
