Are those numbers for the month or the entire life of the gun!? Most of the numbers are a shame either way!

He said several times, because people were giving stupid answers like "I've been shooting since I was 10" and such, to tell him how many rounds we'd fired through THE GUN THAT WE HAD THAT DAY, in all the time that we'd had it. Yes, most of them were 250-300 range, and I'd bet a good number of those were just SAYING those numbers because the people before them did. What are the odds EVERYONE in class had fired a megapack of rem. UMC and that was it? Haha, some of them were missing the PAPER on the shooting portion.

My class only had one 1911, and it was a younger guy, about my age (22-23 or so). Young kicker/redneck kinda guy... not some backwoods hillbilly, just a "country" looking guy, wearing one of those brown jackets Wrangler makes that all my cousins and uncles and my dad have... I'm getting off topic here. Anyways, the instructor asked each person in the beginning how many rounds they'd put through the guns they had with them today, most were 250-300, a few 500's, then he gets to me, "3000" and I got a couple of stares then this 1911 fellow said something like 2500, he got the same stares. Damn gun nuts!
