I think they are available. I bought mine in early January. Magazines are hard to find, though. I was fortunate to find 2 of them a few weeks back.

Nice little pistol. I'm planning on shooting it tomorrow and I have maybe 400 rounds through it so far with no big issues.

The grip is polymer. I guess it all depends on what your definition of frame is. There's a lot of metal in it and the slide is a good, hard aluminum piece. Feels very solid in the hand.
