STI LS9, anyone own one?

[David the Gnome]

I've been looking awfully hard at the STI LS9. I want a 9mm 1911 real bad and this one scratches both the itch for a 9mm 1911 and the itch for one I can carry. Does anyone have one of these or ever shot one? I've never even handled a STI gun before but I've always been a fan of their designs, I like that they aren't afraid to step beyond the normal 1911 design and try something new.

MSRP: $899.15

I've seen them online for $700. It's mighty tempting...
