Too many variables to list. Ammo selection of course will make a big difference, +P or standard, etc.
SA has a lifetime warranty so I wouldn't worry about it, IMO. |

Basically I'm looking for an excuse to trade it for a wilson combat. I'm not crazy about the alloy since its probably going to wear out quicker and I dont want to have to fight with SA about what their version of "end of life" is.

I dont like them. If I were to get something else it would be an STI duty one but the wilson is just as nice. That and my dealer will stock them soon. |

If you wear it out just buy a new frame. I remember reading an article in one of the gun rags about 6-7yrs ago were they tested an aluminum framed Kimber to like 5-10K rounds and it really didn't have a WHOLE lot more wear than a steel framed pistol. You could always buy one of those titanium Caspian frames.

I just sent you an e-mail about a screaming good deal on a used Gold Cup. If you were looking for an excuse to get a steel frame 1911, this is it.

Your alloy frame will in most likelyhood last as long as a steel frame.
 I have a 30 year old Colt LW Commander that's got 10,000 + rounds thru it and still shooting good. |
