Great value for what you get. Only problem with aluminum frames is they tend to crack at a much lower round count than their steel framed counterparts. They generally crack at the junction of the dust cover and front of the frame rails. Just be reasonable with your recoil spring replacements with respect to round counts (change the recoil spring with a 16 lb one assuming 45 acp every 1,000 rounds) and you should be ok.

I've seen them crack in as little as 3,000 rounds in a 45.
