9MM 1911s?

[cedartop]

Smith & Wesson SW1911 Pro Series. They got the external extractor right for the 9mm. We have 2 of them and they run 100%.

I would really like to try one of those. I wonder if we will be at any of the same classes this year?

One never knows.

We still have only good things to say about our SW1911s. They are accurate and very low recoil. People love to shoot them.

I shot USPSA with full power 45 acp yesterday. My weak smurf hands are not up to the task like they once were. Too much repetitive activity behind a computer at work. I picked up another 1911 in 45 acp this winter to use a "game gun". I am seriously considering trading it towards another 9mm 1911, CZ, 5" PPQ, HiPower, Glock 34 or other such 9mm pistol.

Too bad you are not closer. I have been wrenching on 1911s a bit this winter and would love to have a crack at that Ruger of yours.

Great shooting gun. Springfield Armory Distinguished Bianchi 9mm built by their Custom Shop. Shoots flat, fast and accurate. Recorded a couple of .11 splits in the last 5000 round.

When I was in the market for a 9mm 1911, I came into a great deal on a Browning Hi-Power. While not quite the same as a 1911, I have absolutely zero regrets about going that direction. On the plus side, the Browning has a double stack mag, and isnt really any thicker to carry.

Reminds me, my sig p229 was a fine gun and a p226 would have likely suited me a bit better. If you are looking for a high quality and soft shooting plinking gun that is a very good way to go, in my opinion.

I didn't like the size and weight for a carry gun and the 1st round being double action did not suit me for an IDPA/USPSA gun, but it was great otherwise.

One day I will buy another HiPower. I have owned a few over the years. I prefer the beavertail on the 1911s though. I did pickup a Sig P226 Elite SAO. Other then the grip being too large for my hand, the gun really is a great compromise. Single action, beavertail, Browning/Sig action, good sights, large capacity.

And I have the issue the other way around. My hands are a bit larger than average, so the double stack pistols tend to feel better in my grip. Those Sigs are especially nice in my hand. Somehow I have eluded their call, I always seem to be lacking funds when a good deal presents itself on a nice Sig.
