9mm 1911?

[mikerccie]

I think I'm starting to get an itch for a 1911 platform in 9mm. Without much looking around it seems like Kimber makes a few versions.

Anyone have any opinions or pointers?

I have no experience with them but I've seen rock Island Armory advertising a 1911 in 9mm. Hope that helps your search!

Springfield armory makes a bad a** one if you have a grand to blow. Called the emp

I have a Kimber Aegis Pro and a Fusion full size. Both are great guns and fun to shoot

I have a Para LTC 9mm that is a little cheaper than a Kimber, but still a nice shooter.

A buddy of mine shoots a Taurus 9mm. He loves it. PM sandman76.

I have a Para 16.40LDA - maybe I'll put it on the market and pick up a 9?

If you don't mind going from a double-stack .40 to a single stack 9mm.

I've been looking into a 1911 in 9mm recently and seem to have decided when it is time to pull the trigger on the buy at the fun store it will probably be a Rock Island Armory because of the price and reviews. Base model is only around $400 and tactical model is still under $500, they seem to get pretty good reviews too. But if I had more money I might be looking at others too.

The list I have seen so far is: Colt, Smith & Wesson, Kimber, Springfield Armory, Rock Island Armory, Taurus, Wilson Combat, STI

I know there are more but that should get you started Good luck

do it....................... EMP, I love this sexy b!tch and I'm glad I bought it; great gun just my opinion. The only pointer I could recommend would be get a good holster, mine is a Galko highrise.

Sprinfield Armory loaded in SS ftw

Fusion all the way if you can swing it

Great customer service... Run like raped apes...The only downside to buying anything but a Wilson, Brown etc.. is the resale isnt a good because the name isnt "out there" yet. I have yet to read a single negative comment about a Fusion 1911 or their customer service.Mine is a full size 1911 in 45 though. I love it...I can only imagine the softer recoil of a 1911 in 9mm. Springfield's customer service is also top notch though... If I hadnt seen so many patients from the jail w 9mm bullet holes in them that survived I would consider it... Good luck w your decision.

...no disrespect, but I'm guessing the majority of 9mm bullet holes you speak of are not of quality personal protection, and from some kind of ignorant gang related shooting with cheap wally world ball ammo that:
1. was shot by some idiot who has no experience shooting (most likley shot while holding the gun sideways).
and
2. ....well, uh, "1" again.

I have a CASPIAN 9MM COMMANDER, It's shoots fine, considering I only shot it once for function, haven't shot it for groups yet
