Awhile back I traded into a STI Trojan in 9mm. I was selling a niche pistol and was offered this and some cash. I wasn't initially interested but went ahead with it thinking the Trojan would be a lot easier to turn. It is bone stock except for trigger work by a well known smith. One trip to the range was all it took. It's now my favorite pistol and has since been hard chromed and will never be sold. I'll probably end up with a Dan Wesson for carry at some point.
I think it's a case of a nice feed ramp, along with the proper recoil spring. Another thing is I believe there has been more attention to designing 9 MM magazines that feed properly. I have both the Springfield Target 9 MM, and a Rock Island Armory G.I. 9 MM. Both run with 100% reliability with most any ammunition. Both of these guns cover the cost spectrum from low to high in 9 MM 1911 pistols.
I've had very good luck with a full-sized Dan Wesson PM-9. Looks great and runs perfectly!
I've had no issues with Checkmate and Metalform when it comes to 9mm 1911's.
I didn't want to start another thread but does someone know where I can buy mags for my Colt CCU CCO? I'm looking for the ones with the pad like it came with. With the magwell I'd prefer those as it's not a CCW piece. Thanks.

Who makes a solidly reliable commander sized, LW 9mm?
I’ve had a Colt 5” 9mm for 20 yrs.... dicked around with it a Lot due to malfs...and learned a lot of 1911 ... it really Never run right. Did hammers, Sears, extractors... still hit or miss.... Then I tried Wilson 9mm mags.... That single change made the gun run and Run regardless of my reloads.... 115gr... 124 ... 147gr LTC. It just runs with Wilson mags!!!! And mine are the first 9mm 10rnd variants!!!!!
