Well, actually a bit over 69,900, but close enough. 
Over the past four and a half years or so, its had about 300 rounds a week through it, sometimes more. In that time, Ive replaced the RSA once or twice a year, and I did replace the extractor once, actually twice, but Im pretty sure now, they all were probably OK, and it was really just a brass issue.
I again replaced the third with the second, after seeing issues with a couple of lots of reloads, and with new ammo, and younger reloads, the issue went away. That makes me wonder if the original was actually OK too, which is how Im leaning.
Gun has been cleaned and lubed after every outing, and the slide stripped and cleaned a couple of times a year. I usually blast the extractor and firing pin channel with Gun Scrubber once a month or so, and the frame a couple of three times a year.
99% of the ammo shot through it has been my reloads (124 grain FMJ over 4.9 grains of 231), with a couple of cases of Winchester Ranger T 127 grain +P+ or Federal 124 grain HST's.
Even with constant holster use, it really shows no external wear on the finish. About all thats suffered, is the slide stop, which is holster related, as I dont use it to release the slide.
The inside of the slide and barrel show the most wear, with the heaviest being the barrel in the "smiley" area.
The slide has two spots on it where the locking block has been impacting it, yet its not peening like my 31 was having, simply some light finish wear. You can also see where the top front edge of the barrel has been riding. The barrel also shows wear at that point, and again, the finish is just polished.
