I have close to that many through mine, almost exclusively lead. Still going strong. It's been back to the factory twice:
1. Barrel tensioning nut came loose (or wasn't properly torqued from the factory)--happened after about 100rds. Fixed under warranty.
2. I had a primer failure (on my reloads) that blew out the side of the primer and torched the firing pin bushing. S&W fixed it on their dime.
It still locks up tight and is one of my most accurate revolvers.
