I really don't like that gold color, on anything. It looks tacky.
Even if the bits were black, I'm not interested enough to try one.

It seems to function as advertised though.

Since this appears to use a 365 standard barrel and the longer XL recoil spring the only change is the ported slide. I think I will wait till they sell this slide as a stand-alone which they will. You can buy all the Spectre slides on their website and I bet they will sell this too. Expensive but I like to try stuff out, not enough to drop 1100 bucks for the whole shenanigans but I would buy the slide to try it out.

over $1K?

Nope

I'd buy the standalone slide. They can keep the TiN trigger and barrel.

Any guess as to when the slide will be available to purchase separately?
