When will the Glock 17 have its first stoppage?
Rules:
- One entry per person. You cannot guess again once your number has been surpassed, or before your number is reached, or under any other circumstance. If you pick a number that has already been picked by someone else, you lose; you cannot guess again.
- Entries are submitted via comment to this post.
- Posting anything other than your guess disqualifies you permanently.
- The email address you use when posting the comment must be valid. If we cannot reach the winner, the next closest guess wins.
- We’ll use Price is Right rules. Whoever guesses closest without going over is the winner.
- For purposes of this contest, “stoppage” will apply to the first instance in which the G17 test gun fails to go completely through its normal cycle of operation, except for stoppages which are determined by pistol-training.com to be ammunition-induced. Essentially, anything that earns stoppage, malfunction, or breakage in the tally being kept each week.
- Guesses must be numerical, you cannot pick a date or “never.”
- No purchase necessary. Contest and offer void where prohibited by law.
Prizes:
- Pick the exact round count at which the stoppage occurs and you win a certificate good for one free pistol-training.com class. (this certificate is fully transferable so if you do not want it or cannot use it, you can at least sell it on the black market)
- If no one picks the exact round count, whoever comes closest without going over will win a pistol-training.com hat and a $50 gift certificate good towards any pistol-training.com class.

I am thinking if you are using under powered 115gr FMJ that you will have your first stoppage between 15 and 250 rounds.
If you use 124 gr FMJ or 147gr FMJ loads than I think you can make it past 10,000 rounds without a stoppage.

I wonder if your recoil spring is the new updated one.

With 171 guesses so far:
8 people guessed it won’t make it 10 rounds.
29 people guessed it won’t make it to 100 rounds.
65 people guessed it won’t make it to 1,000 rounds.
FYI, I’m hoping to put at least 1,000 rounds through the gun tomorrow. So about two-fifths of you will either be in the running tomorrow, or out of the running altogether.
49 people guessed it will exceed 10,000 rounds.
23 people guessed it will exceed 25,000 rounds.
6 people guessed it will exceed 50,000 rounds.

The winning number is 62.
I’m glad I scrolled all the way to the end before I posted a guess!
And 328…
Looks like Ghettosmack takes it with a guess of 65.
Holy cow.
No, John Taylor’s 53 should win it. Closest without going over and all.
