I have 3 of them I use for rental guns.. mostly for nOObs who like to drop them... and then kick them across the floor... tehy have been abused!

I put Guarder recoil springs in them

They have been going for a year used for about 8hours a week.

I think that I can say that those G19s have seen a lot more use than your typical GBB .. I run propane ..

I figure that they see on average 8 hours of use a week, so they have about 250 hours of use on them... so according to my reckoning they have had about 30000 to 40000 shots through each one of them..

I had to have some minor repairs done.. replaced some hammer springs .. and just last week I noticed that the outer barrels have metal fatigue, and cracks.

I will have to replace the outer barrels soon..

To contrast... I have seen about 6 KSC glocks spontaneously destruct when new. and most people buy the KSC for $300 and then spend another $100 to bring them up to what I got for $290.. and they don't perform any better.

I would .. and will buy more KWA g19s as far as I am concerned you can't get a better gun for rough use
