I do have one in the Bruniton (black) finish, as well as an Inox (stainless.) No non ammo related issues with either.
You'll hear bad "traits" about virtually any gun you ask about. Glocks KaBoom, Sigs rust, Beretta 92's break locking blocks, 1911's aren't reliable out of the box, and on and on and on. Don't place to much stock in it. Buy quality firearms (your Tomcat is one) fire a couple of hundred rounds through it to test reliability and don't worry about the scuttlebutt.
