Extraction and ejection is probably the most common. Some triggers are not that good. Lots of people have had slides crack early. Right now on the forum we've got one guy dealing with case separations possibly from a loose chamber and one dealing with the sear spring slipping off the sear. Sometimes it's a feeding issue. The way these things are mass produced now you just never can quite know what it's going to be. But, hey, it may be nothing and you'll love it.
is super or 9 easier on parts or about the same?

9mm versus 38 super has been hashed out a million times on this forum and everyone has their opinion. Mine is, if you want to shoot a lot and get good and don't have an unlimited shooting budget just go 9. 9's also sell faster on the used market. Neither is magic and they both work. It matters how much you work at it, not what caliber is stamped on the gun.
I think Trubors are the only STI gun worth gambling on. It's a solid gun for the price and it's the same STI as all the other STI open guns just without all the lipstick. 5" vs 4.5" vs 4.25" is just more 9 vs 38 futility. Choose whatever makes you smile. The key is to hope fortune smiles on you and you get one of the good STIs that runs out of the box without needing extra work, attention, and upgraded parts.
what often needs to be tuned. stuff i could learn to do myself or a smith needed. i know mag need tuning sometimes but gun wise.

I've read a lot of topics on the two and still can't decide. and I'm not sure if i wanan go with 38 super or 9mm the gun will be used as my 3 gun pistol and uspsa pistol. any advice is very helpful. Thank you.

Load a few dummy rounds up! At 1.135, 1.145. 1.160...
If the round drops into the barrel, spins freely, and falls out easily when you flip it over? You're still clear of the rifling.
Repeat until one drags on the rifling when you drop it in and try to spin it, and then keep all of your ammo a few thousandths shorter than that.
Remember also that the shoulder of that particular bullet profile is what is hitting the rifling. A narrow pointy 115gr bullet can be loaded quite a bit longer in the same barrels than a short fat 147gr, for example. The tip isn't what limits your length - until the round gets too long to fit in your Mags, anyway.
Thanks for the reply and help. it looks like with the bullet i use atm i can load to about 1.445 gonna load some up this afternoon. and chrono until i i make major. what would you recommend for pf to make sure i'm making major in all temps?
