Luger ammo

I have seen a lot of comments about hurting your Luger by shooting it. I am concerned - the gun was suposed to be designed to take 1400 ft/lbs at 125 grains (9m/m). Is there a thought that Luger or DWM released something that wouldn't take that charge? I understand that 3 super (proof) rounds were used for qualification of each gun. My personnel experience shows no wear on the contact surfaces or any wear at the pivot joints. Did Mr. Luger miss something during the design development or what? Does anyone have an experience with a Luger failing using the the above load?
