so they basically functionally replicated a compact 1911 with less ammo capacity and it's ugly to boot. I am impressed.

I'll bet the slide is bulky also.

And they are still made in Croatia, and I bet the parts are still hard to get.

The whole piece is 1" at the widest point. Slide is reported to be .9 inch.  I note there's an external extractor.  No room for the usual (funky and weird) XD internal extractor.

Still waiting on a 7+1 single stack 9mm Glock...   [tinfoil]

I know such a beast wouldn't have had enough GCA '68 import points to get in, the G26 & G27 barely make it, they have to have the thumb divots (target grips) and a cheap plastic adj. sight the Smyrna GA facility removes Stateside for them to meet the minimum.

However, I thought the Smyrna plant now had enough capability to at least make frames, even if the slides and barrels still had to come from Austria...
