Default shim on hinge pin

I have a couple of old guns that I have tightened the action by putting a brass shim on the hinge pin. It seems to work well and saves the 300 bucks and 3 month wait that the local gunsmiths require. I was wondering if this type of repair has any downside other than the shims dont last forever, ie do the cause damage or danger? any thoughts
