Yeah, I wouldn't hold my breathe waiting for this to arrive stateside. It seems that there is quite a lag between new offerings overseas and when we get to see them in the US. If they don't offer this model in 40 Cal it would be a waste, as most will want it for USPSA limited major.
I guess I would want to see a accubushing, a fully adjustable rear sight, and competition length magazines if they were serious about making it a premiere competition ready out of the box pistol. And if they are going to strip the slide release, at least give us a cover for the hole left behind! I use a piece of grip tape to cover it on my TSO's but it likes to fall off when I detail strip and clean the frame with solvent.
Cheers,
