Sidearms & Scatterguns Commander size 1911 in 9mm

[Balldboy]

Looking for a Commander size 1911 in 9mm.
Already have a Hipower and Sigs are not really lefty friendly...at least for me.

What are you guys shooting?

TIA,
Pete

I came really close to buying the Kimber pro aegis. If it was a 45 I would own it.

But since you are 9mm shopping, this thing is a beauty.

Re: Commander size 1911 in 9mm

I traded for an Aegis Pro II about 4 months ago. A guy here wanted to trade a shotgun I had and he kept badgering me to trade. I kept saying it was a girls gun until finally I caved and traded for it.

I love this pistol and carry it often. I added a new hammer (I do not thumb my hammers, but just like the standard Kimber hammer better and added ambi safeties. I didn't even have to break it in. They also make the CDP II line in 9mm, but I had one of those in .45. They ALSO make the tactical II series in 9mm. I have owned and shot all three models, I like this Aegis the best. WHY? I am not sure as all Kimbers start out as the same gun. I will warn you though, that little thumb safety is made for a chic's hand and if you shoot with your thumb on your safety, it could be uncomfortable for you.

Look at a STI Guardian.

STI Off Duty.

I would look at 38super or 9x23 in a 1911 if you dont want a 45.

Thought about a Taurus in 38 Super but I'm trying to consolidate ammo.
Selling a Beretta 84 and 1,200 rounds of assorted 380 ammo to gain another 9mm.

Re: Commander size 1911 in 9mm

you can look on 10-8 or brianenosfourms and research the 1911-9mm
platform . I just think there are better platforms for 9mm.

9mm 1911 can be done, but a compact is asking for problems.

I carry an EMP, and it's the only sub-5" 1911 9mm I'd consider, as the gun was redesigned to be a 9mm.

+1 I agree

I also have a 5" 9mm STI Spartan, and even that is finicky.

Get a Springfield Stainless Loaded Target.

I carry a 9mm cco daily for carry. Use the metalform magazines with the Springfield follower, a 12 lb recoil spring and it will run great. If you have tuned the extractor properly you will not have problems.

Also, my cco is a true commander slide (4.25 inch). Anything below that will not run as reliable as their big brothers.

Re: Commander size 1911 in 9mm

No reliability problems with this one:

Re: Commander size 1911 in 9mm

Have you ever shot it with a light? That's my big thing now, shooting at night with a light mounted. I think that would be an interesting configuration to shoot....

Great guns, though I've heard that some are problematic from the box. Mine was. A trip back to Dan Wesson and it has given me absolutely zero problems since. VERY accurate and so little recoil that I feel like I'm spoiling myself for other handguns when I shoot it. Have considered getting one in .45ACP, too, but have yet to give myself a good enough reason.
