How many rounds is too many rounds down the barrel of a used pistol?

[DSB OUTDOORS]

I'd be worried more about the slop in the slide, and the spring ware over the barrel ware. If the slide is tight side to side, and the action is stiff, GTG! IMHO.

Everybody has missed the obvious- round count is not nearly as critical as the care the item has received.
Just as when purchasing a used car, overall condition is a pretty good indicator of the use it has seen.
Would you rather purchase an item that has seen 250k rounds and has been maintained well or something that has only had 100 rounds but looks like it was subjected to the "Gun Nuts" torture test?
Timing concerns are valid on any revolver.

glocks 1million / springs every 10k
cz/jericho 50k frame crack
revolver 1 hot load bad cylinder, really depends on the shooter.
1911 10k (learning that one sucked)
xdm 5k feed ramp (early ones only)

Kyle Defoor shot his G17 out in about 200k rounds.

and at $0.15/rd, if you can afford to shoot $30,000 of ammo, you can afford another $515 gun or $250 barrel

Yep, the guns are really the cheap part when it comes down to it. I doubt 10% of my shooting budget is guns. But then, I don't really collect them, I just like to shoot them.

The real ? is how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop.

If it was a police trade in I become skeptical. If it was used for competition and it was retired or getting upgraded, I get skeptical. other than that, I don't worry about it too much! I am more concerned about revolvers than anything.
