Unless you're dry firing the snot out of the pistol without protection. They break, trust me.If it's a newer machined 1-piece slide, then the firing pin retaining pin is good to have lying around but rarely a part that breaks.

Mind did not break but intermittently interfered with the firing pin operation. FWIW, the punch set the Top Gun sells works great so long as you use it in the right way. I was telling a friend about fixing the problem with my gun and he told me how he did not RTM and tried to punch the pin in the wrong direction... No Joy.
