9mm 1911.....???

[Littlejoe]

I have a RIA 1911 in 9mm. its a great gun and seems to run great. I had a few little things early on, like not wanting to chamber a round from a full mag. but I got that fixed. I am thinking about another 1911, maybe a Colt or Kimber or Sig. I may go with a 9mm again. What do you guys think of the 9mm 1911's..I do like the .45's but I only have one .45 handgun and don't stock pile ammo for it.

Thanks,
Littlejoe

I have a CASPIAN 1911 9MM also with a 38 SUPER barrel, never had any issues with it

You run what you like "But".................

To me, a 9mm 1911 is like buying a new Camaro with a V-6

No knock on the round but it is just Blasphemy to the alter of the all mighty JMB......................

Both are very nice looking pieces. I would like to handle them..................

Not a 9mm fanboy but I am sure those are offered in .45 ACP....Yes

Yep, all the high end .45 makers are making 9mm's now too.

There is a thriving market for them.

I am not knocking what an individual wants to run (caliber) I have just been using .45 ACP since the age of 12. Anything less is, well, not worthy.....

Rookie here, I've only had them for 40 years.

I was 12 in 1962.......I am right there with you.

My uncle put his Gov. issue Colt in my hands and said if you drop it you are done. I never dropped it.

I thought you were my age. Got my first in the Army so you beat me a few years.

I'm with The ChurchMouse on the V6 Camaro thing.

Having 2 Army Ranger uncles was a serious blessing for me.

OP, apology's for the thread jack. Discussions about 1911's always tend to wander.

Thanks, it is the only man-card worthy reference I can think of.
Again, no knock on the OP. Run what you like. I have shot a few 9mm 1911's and they fall short for me.

I have had several 1911's in 9mm and have not had any issues with them, in the other hand I have had 1911's in .45 that were junk (Kimber). I currently have a Springfield and a Dan Wesson and both are a joy to shoot, depending on your budget I suggest to take a look at the DW PM9.

I'll give you a $100 for the Kimber.

A friend of mine who got into target shooting bought a Kimber in 9MM. It was the match target model or whatever they call it. He went with 9mm since he already owned a 9mm and didn't want to have multiple calibers.

He enjoys shooting, but I wouldn't necessarily call him a gun enthusiast.

He really likes his Kimber though.
