One of the articles I read about the SOG selection had a photo of the gun STI made at SOG’s request as a carry version. It was a Staccato P but it was cut down in the grip and not optic ready. It’s the last photo in this link: https://www.guns.com/news/2019/07/24...i-2011-pistols.
I’m surprised they haven’t released it to the open market. It sounds like the solution to your concerns.
