The pistols are available in carry and full-size, come optic-ready, have a smooth flat trigger, and are loaded with feature-rich upgrades straight from the factory.”

This sounds like it would be a great pistol if it actually existed beyond a few hand-built ones used for the photos and videos.
I won’t comment on the price because I can’t find a price.
I want someone to design a M-1911with a slightly larger Grip and a double stack Magazine. This would sell by the Millions!
If you are ok with 9mm I think there are several out there like the STI 2011….
Para Ordnance sold a 14-45. Just what you described. I had one but it was something of a handful. They’re still available on the aftermarket.
