Favorite 1911 in 9MM?

[Robert1]

I have a SW Pro Series 1911 in 9mm which is a tack driver. Also have a RIA 1911-A1 MS in 9mm and can't beat the price and solid as a rock.

Just got a 1911 PRO in 9mm. Accuracy is great.I have (maybe) issues with the palm safety being too gritty ... the jury is out.

I stopped by the Sig Pro Shop yesterday to checkout the 1911 Traditional in 9mm.
Clearly it does not have the fit and finish of custom pistols but it seems a good value, and I am looked toward getting one.

First, I have to decide whether to throw down the dough or wait till I complete another deal -- I am going to be selling one of my ham radio amps (AL-1500 with Eimac tube).
Second, I will have to find a source here in the PRM.

The third an final thing I will have to do is find a way to make the pistol look larger in photos -- yes that is a full size 1911 disappearing into in my ham sized hands.

P.S.> I cropped the photo not for anonymity but rather that I am so strikingly handsome it would have distracted from the pistol.

I have STIs in 9mm and think they are the best thing out there for semi-production pistols. While the S&W 1911 9mm is nice, i like the STI trojan for less money, or the Edge, Trojan for more money .

Has anyone compared the CZ Dan Wesson to an STI?

Mike,
I think the displayed price was roughly 1080.00 (990.00 for students), I did not take precise note. They will tell you at the Academy Pro Shop that they price on a fixed percentage of retail so as not to undercut their dealers.

Very nice.

Do you stamp the gun Derr Precision anywhere? Just so the second or 3rd owner after you do the work knows that all colts don't work that well?

Derr Precision does have logo that he can engrave on the slide.

So, I ended up getting the Sig Sauer "Stainless Match Elite" in 9mm.

I swapped out the stock Hogue black wood grips for a set of these LOK Grips that are a G10/Wood laminate, and I picked up a couple Dawson Precision 10 magazines (shown below with stock 9 rnd mag).

P.S.> This photo is now my computer desktop background.

The best one I saw was an SVI 9x19, single stack, being carried in a Yaqui Slide style holster by a Texas Ranger.

Great choice - the only issue is they have a way of multiplying.

Sig ultra compact 9mm 1911 this thing only hits center target!

I have this one also and I picked up a gun that was built by a gunsmith don't know who built it. It is a full size built on a Ruger frame all stainless with a fiber optic front sight no other markings the trigger is sweet and its very accurate.

Really nice Catsnout. It's too late now, but I was going to recommend the SAO Sig 226 Legion. No, it's not a 1911, but very similar since it's single action only and has the same safety setup as a 1911. The triggers are absolutely amazing. Unfortunately, not Mass. compliant, so you might have difficulty getting one if you are in Mass.

Sig 1911 is the cats meow... so to speak. STAY AWAY FROM THE REMINGTON R1....steaming pile of crap. Per their cust.serv. rep...."guess we have a problem with the 9mm version ". Horrible horrible gun and customer service. Spent my refund on the Sig.
