A few days ago the KZ-45 by Wilson Combat was mentioned and I promised to do a range report on mine. It is a 1911 style handgun with a polymer frame. It utilizes double stacked magazines which hold 10 rounds.
I've had it for over ten years now and carried it for a short period. When I first got it worked flawlessly. Didn't have to go through a break in period. It shot and still shoots everything I put through it, including our duty ammo which was Federal 230 grain Hydro-shoks.

Grip as about the same to my Glock 19 in width and thickness, but as you can see the back strap is beveled around both edges giving it a more slimmer feel. It does not give you that blockish feel that Glock does.

When I took it to the range I was asked if I would sell it. Nope!
If there's any negative is that you grip queens can't put custom grips on it. :)

How does the balance compare to a typical 1911?

The same. Very well balanced. Feels like shooting any standard 1911. Obviously total weight is going to be more since it carries more rounds, but I didn't have a scale.
Also, I forgot to mention the trigger breaks at about a crisp 3.5 lbs which is what you would expect of a Wilson Combat pistol.
