good 9mm 1911?

[steviesterno]

Ok, I love 1911s and that's obvious. we all seem to, because they are awesome [/debate]

anyway, Since I have really enjoyed my 45 acps and my 22, i'm wondering if there's a decent 1911 in 9mm luger I could play around with. would love to find one that runs pretty well and is accurate enough (don't need one inch at 25 yards or whatever) but I think this would be fun to train and shoot at informal steel matches and the like.

anybody have any experience with these?

Only experience I have is with my Springfield EMP 9mm. Might be the best damn gun I've ever owned or fired. Save up your pennies & invest in one of these little jewels.

I have a Kimber Tact Pro that works quite nice. I have been looking around STI's webpage for a full size to bring home. Have a look there.

ETA: Was just scrolling through the classifieds and there's 2 9mm 1911s for sale.

yeah, i saw the classifieds and that's what got me wondering... don't want to jump in and get the wrong thing and ruin my foray into 9mm 1911s.

Understandable. Both are Springfields... Springfield has an excellent warranty and customer service if any problems were to arise. Just saying.

The SS one would be a nice addition, but I'm pinching pennies for a new .45.

Just got an EMP as my wife as a carry gun. Very nice.

lycanthrope has the STI Edge I believe. sweetest gun I've ever shot in my short existence on this planet.

I think Shawn is selling his after transitioning to a P30 for 9mm and he already has a Wilson in .45. I know his gun ran and looks to be a very good value on a difficult 1911 to find. I would buy with confidence.

I normally recommend against 1911's in 9mm but on this occasion I know his ran so I have no reservations recommending it.

I concur.

I've shot that particular (ShawnL's) 9mm handgun. I want to cry when I think about how I have no money to buy it from him.

The Smith and Wesson Pro Series 1911 in 9mm in fantastic. I spent some trigger time with one not too long ago and it was lust at first 10 ring strike. These can be found used for a bit less then a grand.
