Strayer Voigt are interesting guns. They are definiately conversation pieces.
Did you also buy their interchangable breechfaces? Having 4 or 5 different calibers in the same gun sounds interesting but you are probably better off getting 4 or 5 top halves instead.

I bought this one used. No other breechfaces although that is an interesting concept. The rear of the slide has been drastically cut down to allow clearance for the optical sight, so standard sights cannot be mounted on this slide.
It is my understanding that SVI sells quite a few guns to the European market, where a customer just says," I want a .38 super" or," I want a .40S&W." US Customers tend to be much more demanding and usually don't order as many guns at a time as the Europeans. I don't know if this is the case, but it is what I have been told.
Regardless of what I end up doing to this pistol, I can nearly guarantee that at no point in it's existance will it be IDPA Legal. Like I say, I would really like to set it up in .40 and shoot limited, but who knows, that may change.
