I bought one a couple of weeks ago and have put 300 rounds through it already. It's worked flawlessly so far with the exception of failing to lock back after the last round on several occasions...but I know that it's my fault for riding the slide with my thumb and coming in contact with the slide release. But I find it a lot more comfortable to shoot and I'm more accurate when I do ride the slide, so I'm torn.

As others have mentioned, mine also shoots to the left, and I can see that the rear sight isn't quite centered. I have a sight pusher that's too large to use with this tiny gun, but just ordered a couple of sight drift punches which should do the trick. XS Sights makes some tritium sights for this gun, which look nice, but are somewhat pricey: R3D 2.0 Night Sights - Smith and Wesson

Oh, and I also bought a Hogue HandALL, along with the Lakeline pinky extension, both of which make a big difference. I also want to order an Alabama pocket holster for it, which seems to be a favorite of many owners.
