Right, I don't necessarily trim, I just check Case Length with unknown brass...I don't remember the last time I actually trimmed a piece of pistol brass in any caliber...decades.

If after measuring my Chamber Length I had a batch of straight wall pistol brass that was shot so many times that it needed trimming, I would recycle it rather than take the time.

The OP may be using an aftermarket barrel and many of those have match chambers, so I would check to verify measurements.
