Which 9mm 1911?

[johnnyrebel87]

If you needed a reliable/accurate 9mm 1911 for carry, under 2k, what would you buy? 4 or 5" only.

I would go with a Springfield loaded target...

I personally would stay away from 9mm M1911. Everything that I have read seems to indicate that they simply don't have the reliability for a defensive pistol. A CZ-75 for BHP MK III both have very similar overall feel to a 1911 and are much more reliable with the 9mm round.

Another good polymer option is to pick up a M&P 9mm with thumb safety and night sights. This pistol could be had for around $510 at grtactical and is far superior to a 9mm 1911 for a defensive pistol. http://www.gandrtactical.com/cgi-bin...ion&key=306701

9mm 1911 under $2K? Only one choice IMO. Dan Wesson Guardian.

Thanks guys, I was just curious for future reference. I'm getting a steel 9mm sometime before that (cz 75), but wante a nice 9mm 1911 after I get a few other things bought.

Something from STI. Most likely the Trojan.

STI is probably a good choice, though I have to admit that I have never really understood the allure of a 9mm 1911.

Its called a glock.. I just saved you $1500 bucks, You can send me 10% for finders fee.


In all seriousness, 9MM 1911's are the last thing you want to carry for protection.

For IDPA and games you can load bunny fart loads and the heavy frame/gun adds to that airsoft like feel.
