I have seen a few locking blocks break on very high round count training guns but none of them ever ruined a gun.
I have, but it's very rare. You'll see a frame crack on the right side, adjacent to the block. Both guns in question were poorly-maintained training guns, and both were over a decade old.

I've had one since 1989 that's needed one magazine replacement and two new recoil springs. That would make it more reliable than my P226, which required roughly the same stuff, plus a new trigger bar spring, in a similar period.
