Not in my experience.
Made in 1909 and has seen heavy match use for many decades. Still tight and accurate.
From 1924 this Army Special saw many years service with the St. Louis PD and God only know how many rounds it's fired in the last 93 years. Finish is all gone but still functions perfectly.
Shipped in 1931 and used by several generations of "Bullseye" shooters this revolver works just fine to this day.
A 1934 Army Special in 32-20. At some point someone bulged the barrel (I have seen many 32-20s with bulged barrels, no idea why) and cut it off at 3". Otherwise still works great.
This OMT dates from 1950 and was carried by a cop for many years before being used for match shooting for many more.
Can still keep 'em on the paper...
