Make sure someone brings a camera to take pictures when the pistol gives up the ghost. Those are always cool to look at. I say someone because they need to get some shots of your face and hands when your pistol decides it has had enough! No sweat. Here are some indicators that tell you such shooting is probably no longer sound.
1. Your slide rattles so much that it is about to fall off the rails.
2. You have already broken three to five extractors, two firing pins, and have worn out two ejector pins.
3. You look at the brass and see that you can't read the head stamp because the rim is flattened.
4. You look on your slide on the bolt face and see it is coated with brass that has soldered itself to slide. Better yet, the head stamp has inverted itself into the steel of the slide!
5. You have to double up the recoil springs to keep the slide from locking back on a loaded magazine.
If you want to shoot this through a pistol made of plastic composits like a Glock for example, please, get three or four guys to film it from various directions so we can see where your fingers and hand parts end up! Also, watching pieces of the pistol entering a guy's face and eyes is very educational for those of us who are still able to see.
My advice is to blast it through a 9mm carbine of some sort.
