Stopped counting at the 5.000 mark and still running perfect. My other guns I own, about 15 all seem to run well with most quality range ammo. However it is something that I never focused on at the range and never paid much attention to a bad round. I have had 4 Ruger LCP's, some would shoot just about anything, some were picky. No big deal to find out what they liked. The only problem with them, was the fact they would fall apart after any substantial ammo was fired through them. My CW380 is finicky, but I really like the gun and finding what ammo out it churns out on a regular basis is NOT a big deal to me. I did have some issues when brand new, but I worked them out and the gun is a fine shooter.
I also believe the quality of the magazines has a lot to do with flawless shooting or reliable shooting of any particular firearm. And for all magazines, I load them up to full capacity and let the Spring "Set" for a few days.Same with Recoil springs. Do not know if there is fact behind this, but works for me and all my guns shoot well. Keep them cleaned and maintained seems to be a must for many guns. Especially firing pin and striker channels. I did have some failures with other guns when I used a new oil that really fouled them up. I also use a sonic cleaner about every 5th shooting session and blow out the channels really well. Also make sure the extractors are well cleaned.
