    I would like to say this would be a torture test, but 10mm is to expensive for that, my goal though is to see just how well this RIA will hold up to a steady diet of full power loads. I did "have" to fit a better barrel in it because the factory one was so poor fit, but other then that the rest appeared to be pretty solid. Slide to frame fit is very nice and so is the trigger. The Ambi safey has a retaining pin for the hammer pin which is a nice feature.
    I did have to grind some sharp edges off of the safety it was painful to shoot with a high grip. I did not have to fit a full profile comp but I did just because:)

    so far I have put about 850 rounds of pretty hot 10mm through it.
    This week I installed a over size firing pin stop to prevent the extractor from "clocking" which was causing some failure to feed. Still keeping factory extractor though. I have not had any FTE's at this point.

    I did notice that the ejector was starting to mushroom where it contacts the case and it is getting loose. But not broke yet so I filed the burrs off and will keep going until it breaks.

    This is a super fun and accurate gun to shoot and if it wasn't for the factory barrel fit I would say it would be a great value. but the barrel bumps it down a couple notches
