    9mm 2011's have well known problems and issues, especially with the mag.
    Building what is basically a 2011 using a tried mag design and other bits makes a lot of sense.

    Older 9mm 2011s and Gen 1 factory magazines. The Gen 2 and aftermarket MBX mags work pretty well.

    Also many of the magazine issues in 2011s can be traced back to two things:

    1) STI making their own mags which almost no one else in the industry does.(The new Gen 2 mags are made by a well known mag maker.) I took a factory tour at STI years back. The guns were made is a modern CNC facility. The mags were made in a separate building in a process you might find in a Pakistani tribal workshop.

    2) People trying to fit as many rounds as possible into a specific length mags for perceived advantage in gun games.

    Just hope between now and release, an optics plate solution is added.

    I can hope, can't I?

    If we're going to hope and dream....I wish the new DWX used HK mags. Since they are basically the most reliable on the planet.

    For that matter, I just wish HK would release the damn VP9 thumb-safety already.

    As long as we're dreaming/hoping:
    - I hope these things run reliably.
    - I hope the compact is optics ready.
    - A color other than bright red would be nice.
    - AIWB holsters for the compact from a reputable maker would be cool.

    That's kinda dependent on them working with the gun they're in. I presume it's a random outcome how they'd work with a 1911-based design. And you'd need a paddle mag catch, which would just be weird.

    I have something like 80,000 rounds and years of very rough treatment on a set of six 17 round CZ mags. It’s hard for me to ask for better than that.

    Don’t go around injecting logic where it isn’t needed, damnit. What are you, some kind of scientist?!

    Wouldn’t that put this pistol into USPSA Open division?
