In 2018 I started shooting IPSC in Open Division with ~25K rounds per year. I have 3 Bul Armory (BA) open race guns: BA SAS 2 Bullesteros in 9mm major (newest & primary match gun), BA SAS 2 Bullesteros in 9mm major (primary training & secondary match back up gun), BA SAS 2 Ultimate Racer in 9mm major (secondary training gun). Luckily I had/have 3 ... otherwise my competition season would have been over very soon. Approximately 1 year ago (~8500 rounds) the slide of my UR cracked at the ejection port (a new slide was just fitted - test firing it now), in december 2022 (~6000 rounds) the frame/grip link broke clean off from my training Bullesteros (for the 2nd time already! - it was just welded back on, but I'm waiting on a new BA grip). The gun shop/smith and BA are really helpful and correct as far as warranty is concerned, but remains of course the long time the guns are out of order ... Other club OD shooters also had barrels or slides crack ... especially in 9mm major (=common demoninator). I think that it's just a matter of time before you'll be faced with serious damage on your race gun. I don't like it, but I accept that that's part of shooting in OD.
