Most guns, even 60 year old ones, usually haven't been shot all that much. If they have been, it usually shows. I have a couple of K-Frame .38 Specials that I bought used, so I could not swear to any exact round count for either of them. But from checking them over, cleaning them, and shooting them, I sure don't think they were shot much.

The M10-7 saw service with a Police Department in Australia and then was re-imported back to the US. I suspect it was carried a lot and shot very little, as is the case with most police turn-ins from US PDs. The M10-6 looked like new once I cleaned away the lead accumulation on the front of the cylinder. I do not hesitate to shoot +P through either one, but shoot target or standard loads (148 - 158 grain bullets) as a general rule. Even if I shot +P exclusively, I doubt I would wear either one out.
