Good afternoon all, I have been lurking around this site since I aquired a C-100 in October last year.

Welcome to the Forum and Congratulations on your C-100!  :)

Thanks, glad to be here! As I have been very lucky in being able to find cheap range ammo I will keep posting as the round count continues to climb.

I have a C-100 and a S-120.  I don't keep track of round counts, but guess about 700 through the C-100 and 250 through the S-120.  No problems with the guns or feeding any 9mm ammo.  I have installed Meprolight night sights, hardwood grips and the Cajun Gun works spring kits on both.

 Back from the range again with my new favorite gun. Well needless to say another flawless trip and an additional 300 rounds sent downrange bringing the total to just over 1600. ;D It is begining to show a little wear on the barrel finish by the front bushing but all in all still looks great and runs like new.

I shot about 150 rounds through my S-120 last time I went out, and it worked just fine with the exception of needing to strike a few times on some really nasty Egyptian surplus 9mm I decided to test in it. Super hard primers on those ones. I checked the primer of one round that just refused to fire and it was hit pretty hard, but I guess it just wasn't gonna go off. I should also mention I shot the gun almost completely dry without any sort of lubrication put on it since I got it and cleaned the factory grease off and it cycled flawlessly. I was impressed.

Good, but make sure you lube it from now on.  A quick way to wear out a semi-automatic Firearm is not to lubricate it.  As for Egyptian Surplus, that can be pretty crazy stuff.  I've chronographed it and with the the lots I've had, velocities varied between 920 and 1350 fps for the same 124 grain Bullet weight.  Quite a wide variance in velocities.

Bought a C100 new last May.  Shot another 100 rounds through it today for a total of 2250 to date.  No problems at all.  Have only shot about 25 hollow point, but no feed problems there either.

Well its been awhile.... Haven't posted any updates and haven't been to the range in over a month! :( The last time out between the wife and I we shot 600 and some loose ones. (you know those rolling around in the bottom of the range bag, never sure how they get there, but happy when I find them) Left with a sore thumb from loading and a really big grin from being able to spend that much time with the wife at the range.  The wife has really taken to this whole 2nd amendment excerise. Very glad she has, but less rounds for me to fire. :'( No failures or jams to report with over 2200 through the C-100. Can't be happier!

I am well over 500 rounds down range from my Tristar T-120  no issues at all. Even after an under charged round ( I think) causing a projectile being stuck in the barrel. Removed that round and haven't missed a beat

Stuck in the barrel? Glad you realized it and weren't seriously injured or killed.

Poetical1, yes good you found that squid round or you could have messed up that gun or your hand.

I have a little over 500 through my stingray-c now. No complaints. Shoots great, soft recoiling, accurate, and 100% reliable. I'm hoping to hit the thousand round mark by mid summer. We are moving right now and with closings and blah blah blah it's just hard to get much free time.

I've put 500 rds through the T-120 I bought in March and 200 rds through the P-120 I bought in April with no problems.

Which one do you prefer between the two?
I'm contemplating between the two.
