This is my $169.00 9mm "1911". Spanish Civil Guard Star BM-9, re-contoured grip, beaver tail, and trigger guard. Dehorned and and slightly melted slide and barrel bushing. Polished feed ramp. Bead blasted and refinished in a matte gray Gunkote finish.

My first 1911ish guns were a Ballester Molina, and a Star BKM. I put a lot of rounds thru them as a teenager and into my early 20's. At 20 my Mother might have purchased a Colt Combat Commander in satin nickle that she never shot or even knew what it was.This is my $169.00 9mm "1911".

The one I was looking at eventually went for over $900 so I let it go. Will see what else pops up. I am sure the current Covid and political environments are gonna jack prices so may just wait. Will see,

I have a late model Colt Commander in 9MM they has operated flawlessly once I replaced the follower/springs with Tripp kits.

No "Tactical" model...? Pass..

Tripp along with Metalform are two companies that kind of operate "under the radar" when it comes to 1911 mags and mag parts. Extremely loyal following in the 1911 community, but not a "brand name" that many recognize unless you get into the 1911 platform.
MF are about the only ones I run consistently in my 9mm, though I do have a Tripp that's as reliable as a Swiss clock.

Check out the Ed Brown EVO series. I bought the KC9 and really love it. Great quality and no issues with about 1000 rounds through it.

Picked up a Turk 1911 GI clone; beautifully fit and finished, if not quite period correct. The GI sights are a challenge.
They reputedly also make a 9mm 1911, and they were going for $400+ before the poo hit the airmover.
For the OP, if you're not totally determined to get a Government, then Commander sized (or even Officers') in 9mm are great.
