Hans, I have an AC43 P-38 that i have shot several thousand round out of. Never had a problem. Some folks seem to focus on the negative side of getting a gun, particularly a military pistol. The positive side is that its fun to shoot unless its a rare collectible. We get these old military guns used and never know what kind of ammo has been shot out of them before we got them; their prior history can make them prone to breakage but thats a chance we take. I just use moderate powered ammo and enjoy the heck out of shooting a real piece of history. Have fun.
