Why the 4595 will be a disappointment:
1) .45 ACP. A 200+ grain projectile traveling at sub-sonic speeds CAN'T be as accurate as a 9mm. We're talking about a round that's made for shots of 25yds or less, being fired from a long gun. If you're planning to take out watermelons at 200yds, you'll be sorely disappointed.
2) Supply. Bless their hearts, the folks at Beemiller can barely meet demand for the 995 and 4095. We'll be as aggravated as all those folks out there who want a Nintendo Wii "for the the kids" but can't find one to save their lives. This will lead the conspiracy theorists among us (and you know who you are) to think HP is deliberately keeping supply low to keep demand comparatively high.
3) Hype. We've been waiting and drooling and drooling and waiting for YEARS for this bad boy to come out. They told us it would be Spring '08, now Fall '08 or later. NOTHING could live up to the expectations for this. It's become the Holy Grail, the Ark of the Covenant and the Philosopher's stone all rolled into one. It's the impossible dream; far better in the imagining than in reality. The day you actually buy one, it'll be like finally going out on a date with that beauty from English class you've been crushing on since freshman year: and then discovering she's only a mildly interesting person and not much of a kisser.
4) Ten round, single stack magazines. You know it'll happen.
