So I recently went and picked up a Colt Defender 1911 in 9mm that I saw... brought it to the range last weekend and really liked how it felt and shot. Now I was wondering if anyone has one in .45 or someone who has shot both and how they compare. I am tempted to get one in .45 also just so I can shoot both. I have become slightly addicted to the 1911's over the last year and they are a joy to shoot!

Anyone have a Colt Defender 1911 in .45?

I have one. It's my daily carry. Nice and light, reliable, light, it's .45, it's light.
I am according to some, not a good judge of recoil, but I don't think it's even noticeable.
I find it carry's well in a Crossbreed. The only complaint I have (and I honestly don't care) is that it marks up pretty easily. Again, I don't really care, but some might be bothered by it.

Where ya from? If you're close to me think I could try it sometime?
Downeast Maine... If you're in the area, you'd be welcome to try it.
. Hao, where are you from?Well if you wanted to check out the Defender in 9mm I am right outside Worcester and a member at Worcester Pistol and Rifle Club. You are more than welcome to accompany me to the range there to check it out.

"Slightly addicted" is kinda like being "a little pregnant" innit it ?
