Firing pin seems to be the weak link. As much as I shoot mine (read often) I think a spare extractor may be a good idea.

Lots of reports of broken firing pins, but mine hasn't yet.  I did break the tip on my extractor, though I fixed it w/o replacing it.   Lots of people replace the recoil spring with one from Lakeside Guns.  Seems like that would be the main wear item to me.
