They were the goto purchase for lots of doctors with pilots licenses and the combined elevator/rudder (ruddervators) behavior caught some low hours pilots out with not-quite-normal reaction behaviors. That resulted in a number of crashes. They were fairly high performance for the time and like some car brands became a prestige signal.
A friend had one for several years and loved it. He has lots of hours in stuff that is much higher performance. The combination of maintenance and low use were the final reason for the sale.

The original promotion from Tampax where you'd get a free box pistol with the purchase of Tampons did not go well.

I was thinking along the line of "there's a guy on the other end of the firing range who they all are having a relationship with and just learned they weren't his 'one and only'."
