yes, the .45's lesser mag capacity and greater recoil is a handicap, and everyone but you knows it is. I helped Cooper set up the IPSC and we deliberately handicapped the 9mm, but the top hands have become so good at staying in the A zone that the major-minor scoring handicap has been voided as to its utility.

Well lets just take a look at the the winners at single stack nationals for the last few years, looks like major power factor, 8 round mag have won how many? I'll wait for your reply.

I'll report on my 9mm 1911 experience so far. The point I'm making is that it doesn't have to expensive. I've had a Colt in .38 super auto since late 2012 and with a few light mods it has been fantastic. I have not babied it through 2+ 2000 round no new lube, no clean tests. Early this year I decided I wanted a 9mm 1911 so I looked and realized a new barrel was what was needed. I settled on a Brown drop in and had a local smith drop it in for me..
I wasn't totally reliable at first so I put it away for a while, just the occasional extraction issues. Recently I changed out the recoil spring to a 9-10# unit and viola ! It runs great now. Cycling very smoothly with everything from Wolf steel to my own 124gr. reloads. It shoots high at 25+yards so I'm looking for a new front sight but that's all it took to get a functional and reliable 1911. It is now a 3 caliber pistol; .38 super, 9x19 and .22lr with the separate top end.
It isn't fancy and the finish is worn and beaten but it runs and the Brown barrel is very accurate.

I know, but I tried... So when are you selling your P320s?

It may be awhile since I own zero of them.

I’ll speak to evidence rooms. I’ve been in this game for 27 years , both as a local and currently as a fed. I have never heard of a firearm disappearing From evidence. Narcotics on the other hand ? All the time. I had a partner years ago who was stealing it from evidence. She was subsequently arrested , fired and died of an overdose. Theft of evidence does occur ... just rarely is it a firearm

I have no idea and that's not what i was talking about, and you know it. Most matches are not stuck with a single stack requirement.

I've personally known people who've had it happen. One had an alloy commander and a Star PD seized and ordered to be destroyed. The PD was destroyed, but somehow the beautiullly smithed Commander never was. I had done the smithing, i had a very good LEO friend in texas who had a large collection of guns seized from guys who were happy to be let go without a charge , just the loss of their pos guns.

tellum - when a mod tells you to stop, it means exactly that.

You are new here. You need to read more and post a hell of lot less.

You can ponder that while you are on vacation for a while.
