Other than the mag/magwell/thinner grips, anything else internally different on the top half?

28oz!

I have had one in the past. No problems, was accurate and reliable.

I had one with the LDA trigger. Other than a rear sight that just wouldn't stay tight for anything, it ran like a champ. I probably put over 2k rounds through it without any issues other than the sight.

I bet mags are salty for that one!

They are pretty good guns - my only complaint was that having it on your hip pretty much mandated wearing suspenders (at least in my case). It really is a load! That said, it is very controllable in rapid fire and it runs like a champ. And yep, you are correct - mags are not cheap. Just remember that if you have the thing in Condition 1 with a spare mag, you have the equivalent of 4 regular mags in a single stack - certainly enough to ensure your comfort on an evening walk.
FYI - mine shot 230gr Rem Golden Sabre's better than anything - never a failure.

Ive got the p12-45 which is a high cap with 3 1/2 inch barrel and I love it. It shoots anything that I throw at it and asks for more. If you dont mind used mags look on gunbroker I got some good deals on extra mags for mine.

My P14-45 has held up well over the years, over 20k rounds for sure.

i picked up the p14-45 ltd. model years ago. no problems except mags are/were expensive. has a fully supported barrel. friend of mine had the .40 version and used to use sti mags in it. don't know if their 45 mags will work or not. just threw that out there.
