IMO the latch pin may flex some with hot loads since it's not supported close to the latch itself, but the underlug can setback(compress) over time with high pressure loads due to the minimal contact surface.

I haven't shot any of mine loose yet but then I don't shoot any really high pressure rounds. 8)

 BTW that's several hundred if not thousand rounds thru some of them, .357 especially.
