How many rounds can it be expected to fire?

I know German police shot 5,000 rounds for the test, I want to know the upper limit.


Also, once the barrel is shot through, are there many replacement barrels available?

Problem with P-5/38 system is that the underlug locking assembly is far more complicated that 1911 system, so it won't be as easy as 1911 barrels to fabricate.

Red:

Of course you realize that you are asking questions that there is simply no answer to? Please ignore the above answers as I was just guessing... Just guessing like any other poster who responds to unanswerable questions.

FWIW I can tell you with reasonable accuracy that my surplus P5 has had approximately 150 rounds fired thru it since I bought it. The German Government did not give me a fired round count before it was sold as surplus.

Happy Fathers Day if you qualify.

Best Wishes,

Mine is a surplus also and shoot just fine, although it is lighter than expected gun in my hands.
