Default Sig p227

I finally got to handle the SIG 227 this weekend (yes, I know it's been out for a while now, but this was the first time I saw one up close). Has anyone had the chance to actually shoot this gun?

I've read posts by people on other firearms message boards who are already claiming that this gun needs to replace the M9 as the U.S. service pistol (as usual), and of course there are the usual rumors that SOF units will be carrying them by next year. Sequester aside, I guess my initial complaint was that the grip felt too thick for a gun that holds only 10 rounds of .45 ACP, and I prefer the feel of the 220. I think this is also the reason that it has taken SIG so damn long to come out with this pistol, even though SIG fanboys have been demanding a high-capacity .45 SIG for the past two decades.
