Opinions on Ruger P345 in 45 Auto?

I like and prefer 1911's as well, but facts are facts and the P345's grip is slimmer than every 1911 style compact on the market. Widest part is the safety on both sides of the slide and it's only 1.1" thick. Grip handle is even thinner.

Thanks for your opinion, but I also wouldn't call 4 1/4" a very short barrel, as there are plenty compacts out there in the 3 + inch category.
