I run steel case (for training) exclusively through all guns that I can get it for. Steel cased pistol ammo is almost always nearly the same price so it does make less difference in that application.
I've seen it demonstrated numerous time on youtube and via internet postings that the soft steel cases are nearly identical to brass in terms of brinell hardness (sometimes actually softer) so concerns about "extra wear" from the cases is gunshop tomfoolery. The cheap bullets will wear out your barrel faster, but the amount of money saved will should easily the cost of a new barrels and probably a new gun as it takes tens of thousands of rounds to do so.
