My recollection is that when Colt put out the first 1911's chambered in 10mm, back in the 1980's, quite a few stories sprang up about very limited frame life - the figure 5,000 rounds comes to my mind. 10mm sales were never real big, and sort of fell off a cliff when 40 S&W came out, so I haven't heard much since.
