I guess it depends on how much you dry fire it.

I dry fired my M500, like, maybe, a thousand times when I first got it.

The firing pin retaining pin eventually broke in two, and the firing pin itself was chewwed up where it made contact with the retaining pin.

I don't dry fire the 500 too much anymore. The Mil-Spec 590 might be more robust.
