If I had to guess I would say between 6,000-7,000 rounds. I only field strip it to clean it but nothing beyond that. If I send it to Glock I'm told they will take it completely apart, check for worn or broken parts, replace these parts and then clean it and test fire it before sending it back. I'm told they do this free of charge and all I have to pay is for the UPS one day air shipping.

What if I take it to a Glock certified armorer? Can they do this same service? Any advice would be appreciated.

At minimum you need a new recoil spring. A good look thru by a Glock Armorer wouldn't hurt either to check for upgrades and inspect mag springs etc.

We will be having a GSSF match in Columbia at the Mid Carolina Rifle Club this August 29 -30. It can wait till then and you'll get it done for absolutely free.
