Uh, 1000 is nothing for an all steel gun! I shot my aluminum framed smith a lot more than that.

Many police agencies used the 659 and I'm sure they put tens of thousands of rounds out of many. 5000 is a minimum life of even the weakest designs. You will likely wear out before the gun. Shoot it as much as you can afford to.
