9mm 1911 platform guns. What's so special?

[Pappabear]

This is a thread about about 1911's, not Glock. Understand that. Glock people always think its about Glock. As with any such brand and obsession whether it be Rem700, Sig ..... It doesn't matter what Glock thinks, its not appropriate here. Most people would agree Glock, even me even though I am a HK fan koolaid drinker, would agree Glock is a durable handgun. Add to a 1911 thread, no more jokes. Glock is no 1911 !

Glock are great guns for people that can't afford a nice 1911 or an HK. no more jokes !

This thread is not about Glocks.

If you want to start your own thread about Glock's superiority in combat, at the range, or overall sexiness, start your own thread.

So that would be you, Chuc. Do not post in this thread again.

I apologize gents. I did not intend to lead the thread astray... I am a die hard 1911 carry guy. I find the 9mm in this platform to be better for me than .45. I own 2 1911's in .45 and one in 9mm. Please accept my sincere apology.

I've had a few 1911 9mm's, the most recent being a Kimber Stainless Target II, and they're very fun guns to shoot. Light recoiling, light triggers, good ergonomics. I'd rather teach someone to shoot with a 9mm 1911 than with a Glock for those reasons. The only issues I've had with my 9mm 1911's have been magazine related, and they were solved when I switched to Wilson magazines.

9mm 1911s got real hot during the ammo shortage. It was easier and cheaper to find 9mm than 45 acp. Folks just had platforms built ect to run 9mm in their favorite platform.

I have a full size rock island ts in 9mm. Using 10rd metalform mags it's 100% reliable on the range. It makes me giggle with how easy it is to shoot. Very light recoil! I'm also currently building a switch caliber in 38 super and 9mm.
