The photo I saw had the 1913 rail section peeling back from the front of the frame almost the entire length of the rail groove.

If the Mil-Std 1913 rail was peeling back, that's a stress crack and can be eliminated by some redesign. Some of the current M45 MEUSOC pistols have 500,000 rounds through their WW2 G.I. frames and are still within spec. That IS tough!

Ooh, slide cracking, too. Next to last pic shows the rail cracking.
