Most people hate them. I'll tell you my experience.
My dad bought his SD in 1996. He has had it cleaned once in the past 20 years and it was 2 years ago, and only because it jammed for the first time since he owned it.
1 jam, in 18 years with no cleaning. He didn't even wipe a cloth down the barrel.
That being said, I can't shoot the thing. The grip has a weird set up, and the trigger pull takes somewhere in the neighborhood of 4 minutes.
That's a decent price on one, but not a great one. You can find them for less every day of the week. Especially used.
If under $250, I would buy one. But I've had a better experience with them than most.

I have one and never had any issues with mine. I did take out one of the springs which dropped the trigger pull from close to 9 lbs to about 4.4 lbs. With the lighter pull it has proved to be much more accurate. When I bought mine 8 years ago, it was on sale at academy for $249 with a $50 mail in rebate and 2 extra clips. That promotion lasted for a few months then they changed it to $50 mail in rebate or 2 clips. For what I paid, the gun has served me well for what I do with it. Now my next will be the compact m&P or shield in 9mm as a CC pistol.
