The question of whether the pistol continues to be reliable over 1000 or 2000 or 5000 rounds, well that would be a question of durability...right?

I would argue that it's both a question of reliability and durability. Durability really refers to the parts themselves, whether the frame or the roll pins in the slide. Again to me reliability refers to the overall design. I would say they're so closely related that in many ways they can mean the same thing in this case.
If you have no QC, reliability is not important. If the parts have no durability, reliability is not important. Think of the tree metaphor. To me reliability is a tree, with durability and quality control some of the branches.
