Hi Jeff and welcome to the forum!
The 1006 is one of the tougher 10mms out there (right behind the Glock 20). I had one for quite sometime and really enjoyed it, but ended up tradeing it for a 1076 (I wanted something smaller). I do remember reading a torture test of said handgun done by Frank James, he and some volunteers put 10,000 rounds thru it and besides some small parts breakage and a ruined recoil spring, IT KEPT GOING!
If you do run the full power stuff through it, I suggest that you replace the recoil spring every 5,000 rounds. Outside of that just regular maintainence is all it'll need.
These guns are very accurate and very reliable! And look for the post in this section by bad man one on possible barrel conversions. Dale
