Bonz,

I Googled it, out of curiosity, and read somewhere that the slide ( specifically the "chin" where the guide rod fits in) was sometimes not strong enough to withstand impact from a .45 round ignition. Hence, cracks might develop in that area. I have no knowledge of this other than what I read a day or two ago. Just passing it along as a "heads up" in case you decide to get it.

I agree with Shark, though, it is a cool piece.
