I only have experience with a sample of one, but it is extraordinarily accurate and comfortable-shooting for such a small gun. 25-yard center-mass shots aren’t hard at all. The only downside is that they are the size of a micro .380 and are a bit thick for pocket carry. They don’t like to run dry, but if kept lubricated are extremely reliable with good ammo.
As to frame cracking, the aluminum alloy framed ones are susceptible to it (though later models probably less so) so it is recommended to mostly stick with the power levels the gun is designed for, Winchester 60gr Silvertip or similar. The titanium frame models probably won’t crack at all, since titanium is less susceptible to fatigue cracking than aluminum. They are rare though (~1500 made).
Do invest in a spare barrel tip-up spring, since those can fatigue crack at the bend (mine did); it was only a few dollars. I’ve also heard that a spare firing pin isn’t a bad idea.
