I read somewhere that rifle brass tends to stretch upon firing and resizing, so much that it can thin and have a case head separation after many cycles.

Pistol brass doesn't usually lengthen on firing and sizing, if anything, it shortens somewhat. And, pistol brass rarely needs trimming.

Read this more than 30 years ago, source long forgotten. But I have yet seen any evidence to disprove it.
