I read about a torture test of the Star 30M. They ran 5000 rounds of 9mm NATO M855 ammo thru it as fast as they could load the magazines. A few bobbles at the start showed a rough ramp. A quick polish and no more failures. They measured parts before and after. No appreciable wear and no broken parts. After a cleaning , groups were even a bit smaller than before the test.

I've read reports of a Star 30M that digested over 30,000rds at a rental range.
