How will the frames on the PCR and PO1 hold up compared to the steel frame models? How many rounds should they go, forever?

Any reason I should keep a steel framed CZ gun in the mix?
 
Even with hard use, the P-01 will last forever! Don't sweat it! Look up the torture test that the P-01 went thru in order to get NATO/ Czech militray and police approval...awesome! I would still keep a steel framed CZ just because I love my CZs and never sell them. Shoot the hell out of your P-01 and put your worries behind.
 
The NATO tests for the P-01 used a minimum of 16000 rounds per gun with no problems to the frame (or anywhere else for that mater). Given good care there is no reason why the frame will not outlast the shooter by a long, long time! By the way, steel frames also suffer from metal fatigue are are not immune from cracking.
 
Probably longer than you and I!!!... Wouldn't be wasting an ounce of thought on it!... These are GREAT GUNS!
 
When CZ P01 lauanched the market, CZ site posted an article about the test of P-01 and I think that was some of the toughest test of handgun history. I couldn't find that article in their site anymore. Sadly this fine pistol is not allowed to sell in Canada base on the barrel length.
