I'd sure buy one! You wouldn't see me hesitate a minute to be the guinea pig for a new design like that.
Like the rest here, I've often wondered why the majority of 9mm 1911's are nothing more than a big, hulking .45acp 1911 with a smaller boresize. I realize there's a lot of money saved by just drilling a smaller hole down the barrel, but come on, does it really make sense from a user's standpoint?
Similarly, the Bersa Thunder .380 seems a bit big for such a small round. I was shooting a friend's the other day and really got into the design and ergonomics. I just wish there was one in 9mm Luger so I could share ammo with my BHP.
The STI LS9 looks very promising. A bit expensive, but still better than anything else out there.
I'll definitely buy when there are more choices. Maybe I'll buy two or three so I can change out regularly.
Someone needs to make a 7/8ths scale 1911 in 9mm luger. Please!
