Very true, for most of us. There are exceptions.
I recall an interview with one of the top speed shooters a couple decades ago, where he said he wore out 3-4 guns (1911A1s) a year in practice. Worn out frames to the point rebuilds weren't practical was implied, though not explicitly stated.
The interviewer asked him how much he shot for that to happen, and he replied.."about 80,000"
"Rounds?" the interviewer asked..
"No, dollars!" he answered.
(at the time, .45acp was around $100 a case)
That is certainly more than what I'll shoot in my remaining lifetime.
