Concept Retro 1911 9mm

So, goofing off on a friday night. The rendering is my idea of a cool super-modified retro 9mm based on the 1911 platform. No grip safety, no manual safety, no external slide lock. The slide relieved at the back (a la Detonics) to make it easier to thumb-cock, decent but low-profile sights, low-profile slide (about .15" shorter than a 1911 slide.)
Among other things this would require a completely custom slide and linkage, an extensively customized frame, custom barrel, Custom bushing, rounded butt. Not something I can see myself tackling anytime soon; there's a lot of learning-curve and tooling between me and something like this. Still, it is something that I'd like to do someday.
Do you really have to ask? Because it would be neat-o, of course.

I saw one of these today, in an original box (not ITS original box, I don't think, as the number in the box lid differed from the number on the slide).

Very,very, very light trigger! Felt like a real beauty, though. Would love to shoot this thing. I'm thinking about it...
