We got two of the alloy framed ones in at the store that I was working at at the time. Both broke while being handled by customers and were sent back for credit. The only good thing that I can say about it is that the slide was very easy to pull back, and many female customers thought that they were going to like it until they tried the trigger. The trigger always reminded me of the little plastic disc guns (Zebra brand?) that I had a bunch of when I was little; straight back, lots of stack, then a break about as crisp as a dill pickle left on the countertop for two days, then lots of overtravel.
