You bring up one of my other objections to the design- The fluted chamber is tough on the brass. If you don't reload it isn't a problem however, but the fluting puts striations on the brass that weakens it for subsequent use. I've heard that certain loads (Silvertips) foul up the gas system on the P7 quicker than other designs. If the P7 works and if your particular gun works for you and your happy with it that's great. Personally I'd stack up my Sig226 or Beretta 92FS against the P7 anytime.
IMO 9mm is too cheap to bother reloading. -- "Those without creative minds and agile fingers are of course welcome to hurry up with my fries. And they'll probably use a GUI to take my order, too." - Tom Christiansen
