For a new semi-auto pistol with trigger pull of 10Ibs, what would be the weight after 5 years with many tens of thousands of round fired? I was trying to get an idea on how much the trigger pull is relaxed overtime.

Or you could have gotten a 1911 and had at worst a "decent" trigger from the get go.
Any Mass complaint pistol needs a new trigger. If you don't you will never learn how to shoot well because the trigger weight causes too many issues.
Since you haven't replied to what kind of gun, I'm flying blind here, but this summer I had a chance to see first hand the difference.
I have a SCAR 16 with about 4000 rounds through it. This summer I shot a new SCAR 16 and the trigger was much grittier, both in the pull and in the reset.
The new gun also seemed to have a little "hitch" about halfway through the creepy pull that you had to work past that mine never had.
So I'd say that the 3000 rounds made a definite qualitative difference, but there didn't seem to be much of a difference in pull weight.
I eventually replaced my trigger with a Timney, taking the pull down from 7 lbs to 4.3 lbs based on my lymann digital trigger scale.

If you are handy, then you could do this:

I've done several guns with this trigger job. You can go as nuts as you want. I've done partials of this trigger job that resulted in trigger pulls in the 3.5# to 5.5# range.
You don't cut any springs, so it wacks the primer with full force. If you stay away from the cam surfaces for liability reasons, you can still end up with a great pull in the 5.5# range.
Install a $20 Apex reset assist if you really want it to shine and you are done. As is, I've never installed the assist kit on any of mine simply because I don't think its necessary. The kit just gives a very positive, Glock like, reset that anyone can feel.
Thats probably perfect for a carry gun.
If you're someone who has shot IDPA or USPSA with a Glock or a 1911 and are used to a very positive CLICK reset, then just adding the $20 apex reset kit gives you a very nice trigger.
Wear and tear will eventually smooth out your pull, but your pull weight should remain consistant otherwise you would need to replace a spring or two depending on your gun.
I have read a lot of complains about the m&p9's reset, but the one I got (after a few hundred rounds) has almost as good a reset as the shield. Am I lucky or what?
