They all do, but some designs and constructions are more prone to wear than others. For instance, 1911s have fixed extractors which don't pivot, thus 1911s typically hate having their chamber loaded from the ejection port, the part was never designed to handle that, and it's very rough on it, it puts a bad leverage on it.
Similarly, slamming the slide home on an empty chamber with a traditional fixed 1911 extractor means that the brass case isn't there to take the impact, the extractor ends up taking it instead, which adds up.
This is why some 1911s (like S&Ws) have their design changed for later style external extractors, and why no actually remotely modern pistol does that style of fixed internal extractor anymore.
That's the kind of thing which is actually important to know for people who insist on carrying that sort of relic, which is more than a few.
