  • 9mm 1911s

    Who's got one and would you recommend it? I held a Colt Defender, Colt New Agent, and Springfield EMP today. One felt really good in my hand. One was heavier than the others. One was DAO.

    I had a Para carry 9 that was 1911 style, didn't work out good for me, as much as I loved the gun, it didn't love me back.. I even question why Ieven bought it..
    . My PM9 has over 34,000+ rounds through it, and runs much better than an illegal trying to get across our border

      I had a 9mm Commander "conversion" by Colt once. It worked well enough, but for the size and weight (at the time) I chose a S&W 39, getting DA/SA in the choice.

      The tiny 9's... if ya gotta have one on the 1911 design, Colt New Agent looks interesting. I dig the no sights ....

        LOVE my STI Spartan 9. That thing is damn accurate, it really makes me look good. Here's a pic I took for the 1911's 100th birthday back in March.

        I had one FTF, but I'm pretty sure it was my reload. Can't blame it on the otherwise flawless gun.

          1911"s are best had in 45acp. 38 Super is cool to.

            I'm confused as to your user name. Shouldn't it be bigboob68? You know...to match your avatar? LOL!

            I've got a full size .45 and now want a little 9mm.

              Lots to choose from. I would look at a Dan Wesson. My avatar is my wife. She is pretty cool like that.

                If memory serves that is Mrs Bigbob68 in the avatar who could most assuredly be referred to as Mrs. Bigboob68. But the other part of my memory tells me Big Bob actually is 6'8" tall, what one might refer to as a big ole boy so forget I even brought any of this up.

                  I have the Springfield EMP in 9mm and I like it very much, though it has problems with WWB for some reason. One day I plan on sending it back to Springfield for them to repair. It shoots very soft and is very accurate !!! God Bless

                    I guess it would be wrong of me to say "nice rack". I don't know why, but this has tickled my funny bone.

                        Hey Melissa!

                        You might find this review of a Dan Wesson 9mm Bobtailed 1911 on the M1911 board useful.

                        Were I in the market for a 9mm 1911, this pistol would be at the top of my list.

                        It would be so nice if something made sense for a change.

                          I think I'd opt for the Browning Hi-Power if I wanted a great SA 1911 type weapon. Mr Browning invented them both, and both are great pistols and are pretty similiar. I just don't see the point in chambering a 1911 in 9 when you have the Hi-Power available.

                            Love my Springfield EMP 9 if your looking for a small, easy to carry, accurate
                            1911 style. Also see my new post for the custom 1911 in 9 I just purchased.

                              I own a HiPower and ,in my eyes,it truly is a thing of beauty.Its` finish is in silver chrome which is like satin nickle and it has factory emblem Pachmeyer grips.I don`t carry it very often,only when I`m wearing a sweater or jacket,and I intend on using it only on the classiest of Zombies.Wish I had the computer skills to post pictures but I don`t.Ain`t got no digitil camera for that matter.
                              In the area in which I now reside,when I`m placed in a group of four or five guys,I`m known as "the smart one".God help me.
