Was looking at that with federal HST ammo 147gr +p's I shoot a1911 well having a Remington r1 that I love any advice? I was looking at a glock 19 but I'm just not sure I would shoot it well without lots of rounds
 
Re: ria 9mm compact 1911

I shoot glocks and 1911's don't have any problem switching between the 2. Follow the basic fundamentals shouldn't have an issue.
 
Re: ria 9mm compact 1911

I would not carry a 9mm 1911 for defense. There is really no reason to.

I carry either a G26 or Combat Commander depending on what I am doing in plain clothes. In uniform I carry a G21SF. I have not had any issues switching between them even for competition.
 
Re: ria 9mm compact 1911

I would carry a commander or my r1 for that matter but me being a thinner profile a full sized grip prints pretty bad
 
Re: ria 9mm compact 1911

the most important thing is to find something that you can carry comfortably because if its not you will stop carrying it.I've tried several different pistols in different calibers and always go back to my G36 as my primary carry.
