I won't carry any auto until it proved it can fire 500 rounds without a malfunction of any kind. Learned that while combat shooting. Not many will do it.
Something I have learned with the self loading pistols I have had experience with, is that with the right factory ammo thats fairly clean burning or reloads with the right primers, powder and jacketed or plated bullets will do that.

My Kimber 1911 custom II did this between 2 days without cleaning My fisrt day out with it I fired 200 factory loads which were remington umc 230 gr MC and 50 rounds of American eagle 230 gr FMJ. I took that brass home reloaded it all with winchester large pistol primers, 4 gr of hodgdon clays and 200 gr berrys plated bullets and fired all of them, I had no jams or misfires the gun handled the abuse.

I know ruger P-90's and taurus PT-111's can handle a ton of rounds and fuction flawlessly between cleanings a gun range I worked at had a bunch of ruger P-90's and taurus PT-111's that were rentals these guns never got cleaned untill someone complained about them jamming lol these guns would literally have a 1000 rounds through them before they were cleaned. The taurus PT-111's are basically a PT-145 only chambered in 9mm instead of 45 acp with the thought of the PT-111's reliability I figure the PT-145 should be just as reliable.
I will soon find out over the next couple days my PT-145 will have 500 rounds through it with out being cleaned.
