Elmer Keith went into print that a 1911 barrel was good for about 5000 rounds. His early shooting with one of these seems to have been with corrosive primed military ball ammunition. A friend would bring him a case along with a fresh barrel evey few months. Most recent experience indicates that these barrels actually last a lot longer than that.
