I have a 9x19 Nowlin match barrel hard-fitted to one of my EAA Witnesses (thanks, Bob Cogan) and the chamber is SO TIGHT that cases fired from it seem to last more than 30 reloads (and 'standard-pressure' cases don't even need resizing!).

I have a different 9x19 barrel with a Glock-sized chamber that allows the casres to expand to greater dimensions; these cases won't last as long.

9x19 cases are perhaps the most durable of all auto-loader cartridges; your results may vary.

If you reload you WILL save money; well worth the initial investment, even for casual reloading.
