A true left handed 1911: The Cabot South Paw 1911

When it comes to hand guns, one pistol stands out: the 1911.  You can go from the basic all the way to ballistic when it comes to makes a models.  But what is out there for the left hander?  I have been shooting a basic Springfield Armory GI Mil-Spec 1911A1 for a while, and as a lefty, I've gotten used to it.
Upgrades I'm considering:
Ambidextrous safety
Ambidextrous magazine catch

I always rack the slide back, both left handed and right handed, so I don't see the need for a left handed slide stop.

But what about the lefty shooter that has (almost) everything?  Thankfully Cabot Guns has come out with a fully left handed 1911: The South Paw 1911.  Left handed safety, left handed magazine catch, left handed slide stop, left hand twist rifling, and it ejects the brass to the left side.  A fully left-handed 1911.

Hurry up, they are only making 100 of these pistols.
