I knew I would forget a few things.

O-Frame
Slide Stop

Inspect for cracks on the portion of the slide stop that contacts the mag follower. The sharp corners creates stress risers and some have been know to break there.

The rear corner of the stop where it catches the slide. The corner tend to wear. More so if you tend to shoot to slide lock and use the slide stop to drop the slide. If it gets too bad, have another slide stop fitted. However, some like the fact that the slide will drop when you slam a fresh mag in.

Firing Pin Stop
Cracks do develop in this small piece. There is a sharp corner on the lower right side (aft looking forward) which makes a good place for cracks to start.
