Well at least now I know that it is true.
I was lying on the couch shooting the liberal talking heads on the news with my USP Compact .40S&W ... when the click didn't sound right (luckily it wasn't a bang...)
I tried to rack the slide but it would not travel all the way to the rear.
I pulled off the slide and the firing pin block and spring fell out.
Then the rear end on the firing pin fell out also.
It looks as if has broken right where the firing pin block notch is.
Oh FYI it is a KI 26-020XXX so 1998 production... I purchased it brand new in August 1999.
It has been dry fired and fired A LOT!

After posting this I found a thread were someone here describe the exact same thing happening. Looks like I got a badly heat treated part too.
