I'm strongly of the opinion that if steel cased ammo breaks a gun it ain't much of a gun! Lots of 1911s were fed steel cased ammo in WWII to save copper for more important uses.
Not all guns work with all ammo and vice-versa so its not hard to find individual gun brand X that won't work with ammo brand Y, but don't extrapolate wildly.
Pick up a Wolf empty next time you are at the range and squeeze it between your fingers, if this soft steel damages your gun, like I said, ain't much of a gun!
Two advantages of steel cased ammo, (1) cheaper and (2) they rust away rather quickly. Aluminum empties you don't pick up will lay there practically forever, brass for a very long time.
Main disadvantage I find is the cases have more friction than brass so they sometimes have problems feeding in double stack magazines (.45 in particular), especially if the mag gets dirty. This can also be a factor in the ejection/extraction problems some guns might have. But my experince has been far more mag friction feeding issues than gun ejection/extraction issues.
I've shot lots of Wolf, but I've pretty much stopped buying it because the price has climbed to the point that I can find brass cased reloadable ammo such that cost of ammo minus the value of once fired brass with uniform headstamps is less than the cost of Wolf.
No matter what ammo you shoot its generally wise to try a few boxes before getting a case or more.
