Yes,you can track the number times the brass has been fired with pistol brass.Just buy an EMP and it will mark the brass so you can keep up with the number of times its been fired.My EMP 9mm marks the brass on the head really hard from the slide,showing you to how hard the slide has to feed a round into the chamber.The only time you want be able to see a second or third mark is that it hits the same spot twice.I have brass with 5 firings on them and I can count all five hits.I hope this doesn't one day cause the head to want to break off from this hard hit around the head.Time and the number of hits will only tell the answer.
