No. I have never talked to anyone who broke one. That being said, they are $10 so I have a spare somewhere..............

They break, dry firing will kill them. I broke mine dry firing it. I replaced it with the upgrade kit from Makarov.com, I have been very pleased with it.

So as I understand it there's no reason to replace it until it breaks.
Thanks |

I ordered this one, it is listed on here for $45. IT is easy to install, and makes a world of difference, however it will make your decocker into a trigger.
I would not worry about changing your pin unless it breaks. Edited to add: It is a good idea to have a spare, you could always replace your factory pin with a upgrade before it breaks then keep the original as a spare. You will often not know that the pin is broken until you are at a range ready to fire, and it goes click instead of bang. |

My firing pin broke while I was firing. SO, into the case it went. I bought an aftermarket FP from Makarov.com. Mine did not disable the decocker but they do caution to not trust the decocker.
Do not dryfire the gun at all! The cast FPs are junk! |

I have had a few and even dry fired them before I knew better. I have never broken one but I have heard many people have. I no longer dry fire mine but I don't see the need to replace the pins.
