In hindsight, I wouldn't try to do it as "big" as I did but in the lineup... I had:
A Colt 1911 Limetid Edition:
A Colt CCU model...
3 Stainless Ed Browns (CCO, Kobra Carry, & Kobra)
A "blued" Ed Brown Special Forces....
I also brought my 10mm DW Specialist into the mix...
So to summarize the day, that'd be...
-Colt 1911 "Limited Edition" in 45 ACP.
-Colt 1911 "CCU" in 45 ACP.
-Ed Brown CCO (in 45 ACP with 'snakeskin' treatment)
-Ed Brown Kobra Carry in 45 ACP
-Ed Brown Kobra (5") in 45 ACP
-Dan Wesson Specialist in 10mm
All told- I'd say about 600 rounds were fired in about 2.5 hours through theses guns using magazines from EB, Colt, WC, CM and not one failure from the 1911's. The ammunition was also a mix of factory round ranging from WWB, S&B, and AE in 230g from the 45's and the 10mm was exclusively 180g FMJ from (of all companies) Sig Sauer. But once again, despite a mix of magazines & ammunition, not one single problem (and they were run relatively hard).
I also ran about 150 rounds (Winchester 124g NATO) through the HK P30 & P30L...
Now in that "testing" I actually did run into an issue once- during one of the 1st mags through the P30L, the slide failed to lock back after the last round. Honestly- I'm not sure whether it was due to "break-in" or whether my fingers were inadvertently actuating the slide release lever but It only happened during one of the earlier magazines, didn't happen afterwards, BUT it did happen.
I don't think I have pictures handy but I also ran 100 rounds of 124 & 147g AE through my G3 G19 (I've discussed it previously but long story short I had a new barrel to make sure worked) and also ran about 100 rounds of 124g AE through my "new" Springfield SA-35.
Also no mechanical/functual problems through either the G19 or SA-35 however- It took about 8 magazines through the SA-35 for me to figure out the sights/POA/POI and while reliable was a bit humbling initially.
