I agree completely

In my opinion, comparing apples to apples means comparing the standard loads against each other, not comparing one standard load to the other's above standard load.

Self defense loads, as opposed to target loads, in 357Sig will be the ones that approach 40k. If I was carrying a 9x19 for self defense, I'd have +Ps in them - as would the vast majority of people I know. So, 38.5k. At least that is *my* logic.

82000+ rounds is the most I've heard of out of a Glock .40, and I would be very interested in knowing what parts you have had to replace (if any), and if that ammo was primarily factory or full power reloads, or if much of it was downloaded reloads.

An instructor of mine has about 100k through one of his G23s. I have replaced 1 locking block (it had a hunk out of it, but the gun functioned fine), and change the recoil spring and guide about every 15k rounds or so. It was the pre-upgrade, so the upgrade parts were put in it in about 1994.
As for ammo - probably 10k reloads, 25k Blazer, about 2k 'carry' ammo and the rest various flavors of FMJ (Win White Box, Speer Lawman, etc).
The instructor's gun is almost 100% reloads.
