I'm pretty sure they'll be pimping hand-cut checkering on those. I'd rather have no checkering than fuXX0red checkering. (cf. the Taurus 1911.)

I want one in .30-40 Krag. Dakota offers one(for a "mere" $4500). Still, they offer it in .30-30, so .30-40 is only a reamer away. You're complaining about the Checkering? You do know that it's almost guaranteed that the production guns will have pressed checkering, right? If you saw overruns, that means it was likely a quicky job to get it ready for the show. Forget .357 Magnum.

She likes the low recoil and *really* likes the placement of the safety. She finds it easier to use then a thumb safety. She also says the grip fits her hand well. Then again, she's not a 1911 die hard, so she doesn't have anything to unlearn. Me, I'm not sold on the self defense potential of the standard civvie cartridges. It was really made for the AP stuff and that's where it would perfrom best. On the other hand, she used my CZ-75B when she sat in on my recent class and did pretty well with it. She seemed to get used to the thumb safety pretty quickly and shot the gun well. My wife really likes the FiveseveN. She likes the low recoil and *really* likes the placement of the safety.

I also dreamed that there was a similarly scaled-down little .22 Springfield flop-top. I like my dream world better than the real one for the latter alone.
