Yes I'm sure I've owned a couple of them... their design is pretty different from TM and other clones. Not sure why you'd question whether or not I've owned them. Just because your unable to find them does not mean they do not exist here in Canada.

How bad was it? This is speaking from experience... issues will vary with other individuals. Well both Glock's slide got stock and would not return to battery. They were just locked into place and would not budge one bit. I still have no clue till this day why both of them did it.

There were a ton of problems with the Stark Arms Glocks. First of all they are G18C internals meaning you can't use G17 TM upper or lower with them

They actually addressed a few issues that were present in both TM and HK3 Glocks like the metal plate on the Magazine catch. Though some of the plates would just fall right off causing you to require a replacement. I've seen current mag catches from Stark and the quality looks a lot better than the time I use to own them.

The double spring guide was also very bad because the plastic holding the spring in place would break. Means you would need to replace it. If you used lets say a guarder or something that isn't stark the Slide would grind and get stuck there occasionally. You sort of needed that buffer spring so that it doesn't extend too far where it gets stuck.

What else oh yhaa and you need the stock barrel in order for it to work with the lower frame. The design and measurement there is just completely different with TM. You needed a Stark Arms barrel or else you were screwed.

There's more but I'm far too lazy to type every little issue I have with the gun.

As for HK3/WE the frame is the exact same dimensions as a TM. Slide is bit more square and less rounded than other slides but that shouldn't be a problem. I've fit this in a real serpa holster fine. With no issues. In fact I've fit all 6 of my HK3/WE Glocks fine in my serpa holsters and that's not including the TM builds.

I mean HK3/WE will definitely have issues but the most common ones can easily be addressed and fixed. Its the same with TM as well. A stock TM stock have issues but addressing them and fixing them is quit easy.
