But Tanfoglio worries me, I really question the long term durability. (though it reality I probably wouldn't shoot it enough to wear it out).

I have a Witness Limited in 45 ACP that i shoot USPSA Limited-10 with, but I switch guns/divisions a lot and never practice, so it sees maybe 2-5 matches a year. It's holding up fine. But I have a friend who ran a pair of 40's… he's serious shooter, Master level and on his way up, shoots a lot. He got out of the platform because they just weren't holding up.

Also they're hit and miss. Another friend saw my Limited and rushed out and ordered one for himself. My gun is built much better than his. Kind of sad.

But like I said, I probably wouldn't be burning through many thousands of 10mm's, so it would probably hold up just fine. I just can't see paying for one. Yikes.
