you may want to check out the Brian Enos forum as a lot of the guys there are running these pistols. I have had 2, a 4" STI 45 Tactical and a 6" fusion custom. I used both for HD at times since like you said, muscle memory and training. I carried the STI a few times but before I invested in a real belt or holster. so it was a mess. way too heavy. It was over a pound of just ammo, way more than the LCP or similar I was used to. Ended up selling both to help buy a house, but I would have gotten more into that STI if I could.

the big problems you read about with mags being unreliable happens typically when people try and tune them to get as much ammo as possible. stock they run pretty well. Not cheap, but nothing about the platform really is.

You have to pay attention to the gun like you would with any 1911 style, but you will get years of service, a great trigger, amazing accuracy, and an easy to shoot handgun in exchange. If you can stomach the price, get one and test your mags.
