Berretta 92's-break any parts lately?

I have broken two minor parts on my USA made 92FS INOX in the 4 years I have owned it --over 12,000rds--.

1st part to break occured about 1 year ago (maybe less maybe more): Hammer Release Lever.
COST TO FIX: ~$100 (Gunsmith) because I didnt know I could order parts from beretta directly....

2nd occured more recently, maybe 2 months ago. Really wierd break. The short spring bushing in the mag catch assembly sheared off. No clue how.
CTF: ~$4 + s&h, 10 minutes of my time.

There is a third, but I dont think it counts as it is not part of the original gun. I had the front night sight fall out of the frame... not sure I'm going to replace it. Might have happened because of my use of brake cleaner in the cleaning process... it has actually stripped the re paint off the dot under the hammmer release and the extractor...

The locking block broke on my 92 after about 4000 rounds of mostly light reloads, 5.0 gr of Unique and 115 gr Berry.

I also had the safety break on a Kimber.

Both companies replaced the parts for free. Beretta even put a new barrel on the gun although nothing was wrong with the old one I was very impressed by their customer service.

I had the firing pin retaining plate crumble apart on my FEG Hi Power clone. It was WAY cheap metal.

New Browning part, a little polishing with a stone, and it's all better.

EDIT: I feel dumb, I thought I posted this in the OTHER thread that was linked to here, asking if you've ever broke anything...

I've never had anything break on a Beretta.

I have had a barrel split on my Glock 31 357Sig.
And I had the breechface crack on a Glock 21 45acp.

I've seen parts BEND rather sharply, but not actually break.

I broke a series of mag followers in my 96 years ago. I went through 3 of them in the course of a month or so and so I ordered 5 of them. The last two have rotted in the spare parts box ever since. No problems in years.

my namesake pistol (a 1986 model) has far more rounds through it than I could even begin to count. who knows how many went through it before I got it?! in all the thousands of rounds that I've put through it, I've had 4 problems.

1-4: slide locked back with one round still in mag. attributed to my occasionally lackadaisical(sp?) cleaning regimen. when yon pistola is cleaned more often than every couple hundred rounds, no problems. so, nothing wrong with the gun, just me.

now, my Kahr had a problem from the factory with the slide locking back mid-mag. that, however was because it simply doesn't like Gold Dots. plus, that was during the break-in period. perhaps I'll run a box or two of Gold Dots through her again to see if she still finds them distasteful.

Saw an interesting busted firing pin on a 92FS yesterday. It was broken... well, pretty much everywhere it could be broken; into four pieces. Beretta thoughtfully charged him eight bucks for the replacement. Considering they also charged him for the trigger return spring that had broken some three hundred rounds previously as well the recoil spring that was as limp as over-boiled pasta, he was somewhat less than an over-enthusiastic Beretta customer. As a matter of fact, I know where there's a slightly used 92FS for sale now.

Beretta really needs to ease up on their "One Year (and we mean it!) Warranty". As it stands, if you buy the gun, leave it in the box, and don't shoot it for the first time until 366 days after purchase, then you're fiscally responsible for fixing it if it breaks on the first shot.
