I’m interested, is the 9mm the one to get?

STI lists the Staccato-P as being available in 45 as well as 9mm on their website, but I feel like getting the pistol in 45 defeats half the reason for the pistol to exist in the first place.

I got my Staccato P Duo yesterday. I'm waiting through my 10 business day waiting period...
I have 3 1911s (a Garthwaite 10mm, a Dan Wesson Commander in 10mm, and a Wilson Combat Hunter in 10mm). So I am not an expert in them at all, but I'm not a complete newbie either.
First impressions:
1) It feels tight and right but not too tight.
2) Trigger is great. Not to light. Short reset. Really good.
3) Generally, the gun is smaller than I thought it was. Without the mag well, its actually pretty compact.
Yam talks about a soft roll of new features. My gun has the new gen 2 grip. Cosmetically I prefer the older scalloped grip, but its not that big a deal. Apparently this has some advantages.
I will absolutely go for the lowered mounting plate and sights when they arrive. I'd also like a night sight in the front. I ordered 12 magazines, and a 508T. So late November is going to be fun.

If a large number of people are willing to kill you for saying something, then it probably really needs to be said. .
I have to admit that I'm curious what people are carrying their Staccatos in.
For reasons.

STI is doing a live chat thing on FaceBook, right now, and apparently the thinner plate for the RMR is now no longer a thing. Apparently STI was unhappy with the amount of flex the thinner plate would induce.

Is there a reason other than modularity for using plates? Seems to me that burying the RDS as low as possible into the slide and reducing potential points of failure would be a better way to go?
What if this whole crusade's a charade?

Justified in the name of the holy and the divine…
Need for plate? Yes.
Not enough meat in the slide, nor wide enough to MRDS directly to it.
Also would like the pins/pillars which mounts/plate have that prevent shearing the RD screws.
There is a mount/plate for the Leupold DPP as well.
