Suppressors 9mm CCO, does it exsist?

[Patrick_S]

Did a little googling, but cam up dry. Does any build a 9mm 1911 with a officers frame and commander slide? I really want to try out a short framed 9mm 1911, but I would like at least a 4" barrel.


Thank You

Chambering a 1911 in 9mm is kinda like using a 4x4 truck for the sole purpose of driving to the grocery store. I'm sure somebody has at least hinted at the silliness of it...I think your recourse is a .38 Super, or maybe getting a STI double stack to feed .357 Sig. But seriously though, a 1911 is meant for .45 ACP, even the 10mm ones are semi-blasphemous.

The EMP i think it is from Springfield gets close to that but the barrel is shorter.

Valid points about 9mm. I am a big fan of the 45 1911, I even own a 1918 manufactured one

I just want to try something different.

The EMP is appropriately scaled for the 9mm round and is a great handling little pistol for CCW. Check one out. Yes they are a bit spendy, but a nice 9mm 1911 option for sure.

The EMP does look good, but I just wish for a little more sight radius. I am going to have to find one to handle before I axe it from the list.

_9H you deleted what I was replying to. I agree and was asking too much I guess.

Yea I did not want to sound too preachy there Patrick. Glad you did get to read it though - I think the line of thought has merit.

I fingered the EMP and the little STi (Nomad is it??) side-side. The STi has more of a hideout feel than the EMP and really poor sights if you think the EMP has issues in that regard. The EMP feels to me like a scaled down 1911 without feeling like a mini-gun. I shot one on steel and paper and was immediately comfortable with it, the EMP. See if you can get some range time with one - it might surprise you.

Going to try to get my hands on one for sure. Thanks for the info.

I believe Caspian offers one. Most of the big name custom shops should be able to do it. Of you wanted to go down that road

Pat - I did some research in follow-up to the above info.

The pistol I held side-side with the EMP was the STi Rogue. More info on it here:

http://ezine.m1911.org/STIRogue_frame.htm

Per STi's web site, they do not have it listed anymore, so I do not know if they still make it. They do list a similar model though called the STi LS. More info here:

http://www.stiguns.com/guns/LS/LS.php

I just spoke with Jay at STi. Due to product line consolidation, STi discontinued the Rogue as it did not produce the numbers they were looking for out of it. They do have on hand the parts to build 10 more, so if you want one, let them know and they'll build it. There is also one in stock at my local retailer.

The big difference between the Rogue and the LS is the barrel design. The Rogue uses a traditional link, whereas the LS uses a linkless design.

This is pretty close...9mm Commander slide with a bobtailed Commander alloy frame. I handled one at SHOT, and like all of the Dan Wessons, it definitely was a well-built 1911.

Give us a call, and we can order one in for you if you're interested.

You can get a NHC T3 in 9mm. It is an Officer model, but it features an extended magazine well that gives you the length you need to get all your fingers on the grip:

Went to the fun shop today to look at small framed 1911s, something went wrong.
Thanks for all the help guys!

Well, we cannot always demonstrate good judgement...

Horribly wrong....

Actually I would like to get a cheap beater 19 and try a grip reduction on it.

Re: 9mm CCO, does it exsist?

Black plastic, my weakness. If it make you guys feel any better I already tortured the poor little thing with a wood burner. The RTF2 grip is nice, but I wanted to address two small spots on it. Left frame flat and bottom of the trigger guard. I was pleased to find that it points and shoots well for me, not 1911 well, but very effectively for its intended role.

Re: 9mm CCO, does it exsist?

Bottom of trigger guard is one area a hate for me as well. Rubs the middle finger raw after shooting a bit. Also hate the block design, but don't want to try remods.
Sig 226, my choice.
