	Eeeek!

	Well, a friend here in Freehold NJ has a 226 with over *40,000*
	rounds through it.  I pulled it apart a few weeks ago and there
	is NO visible wear on the rails!  I was pretty amazed.  The gun
	is pretty loose at this point, but he says it is as accurate as
	the day it came out of the box.  My 220 has about 39 thousand
	rounds to go before I get to that point.  A real chore, let me
	tell you :).
