Yes.
My first G17 broke a trigger spring. A rental G19 did as well. This same rental G19 also broke the takedown spring, launching a hot slide in front of the firing line. Happened to two customers' guns around that same time, one of which was just purchased.
My second G17 would not lock slide-lock reliably, even after adjusting my grip so that my thumb didnt rest on the slide stop. Said screw it, and went back to the old grip since it didnt slide lock anyway. I still do this to this day, so glocks and sigs dont slide-lock for me.
Temporarily lost the front sight for my G19. It was beat to crap and I planned on replacing it anyway. I later found it in the console of my car.
More than a few FTF's with weaker ammo, such as Atlanta Arms. A lot more than a few if firing weak-handed...
