Default Broken thumb safety?

How many have had, or know of, a broken thumb safety on a Dan Wesson in normal use? (not abnormal use like dropping it on concrete)

The reason I ask is that I've been reading some discussions about MIM vs CNC parts, and some people seem to think there is nothing wrong with MIM parts. Yet I have seen numerous accounts of broken MIM thumb safeties.

I haven't used my Dan Wesson CCO enough to have anything happen like that. With that being said, my CCO has no MIM parts in it. So, I look forward to many years with the thumb safety working fine.

“Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.” Thomas Jefferson
