No, the cracks developed around the operating knobs. Caused, I believe, to the impact of the knobs on the ramp that breakes the toggle joint.

Disagreable yes. But painful only if you let it slide up on your hand from the previous shot.
Or with people with smaller hands that in order to reach the trigger cannot set it perfectly in the hand web.
