Quoted:
https://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/2018/1/1/springfield-armory-introduces-911-380-acp-pistol/ Wonder if it takes mustang and p238 mags? It looks pretty good, I had a Mustang back in the day, and still regret selling it. However, while dinosaurs such as myself will like it, the younger generation will prefer a much cheaper polymer frame gun. Dinosaurs often have hand problems, and so many will prefer a crisp single action trigger, it does have that going for it. But, it is also another clone in a world of clones. Doesn't bother me, send in the clones!

Reminds me of a Sig. 238.

Make one in 9mm please... If it has a 5lb trigger it claims it has, that's a huge + for me over the 7lb+ the Sig 938 I have clocks in at...

Find it odd they publish no width. No way to really compare it. Is it Pico/LCP wide? Is it Nano/PPS wide? 1911 wide?
EDIT: Looks like it has the exact same dimensions as the current Colt Mustang, just 1.1 oz. heavier. So probably 1.06” wide if it matches width-wise too. |

No thanks. Aside from SA's political blunders, it looks like a direct ripoff of the Sig 238.

It's lighter than the metal framed Colt Mustang, Sig P238 and Kimber Micro, but with a bigger trigger guard. Interesting even if it's nothing really new. I definitely would NOT one of these in 9mm. Maybe a slightly larger version, like Sig did with the 938. |

It's a P238 killer... having said that, who the fuck wants a pocket 380 like the P238 or the SPR911 when the P938 is available?

My dad showed up at the range with a 911 yesterday. Sweet! little gun that I would definitely buy.
My dad, myself and my 2 sons were all getting 2-3 max groups at 25'. My one son was getting a single hole much of the time. We shot Winchester white box (had flat tip and sharp noses), HydroShock and Gold Dots - 300 rnds and it worked flawlessly. I was quite surprised at how well it shot for something so small. I have a Colt .380 Government and I'm considering selling it for a 911. My only complaint is I would add some orange outline paint to the front sight for daytime shooting. |

Well gents - I now have one !
Picked it up at the local toy store last week. About 250 rounds so far and its been 100%. I used to have a Kimber 380 and after two trips to the mother ship I got rid of it. (My Kimber Micro 9 runs just fine) Really surprised with the quality of this little blaster - much better quality than the Kimber I had. Love the grips - and the stippling on the front and rear of the grip frame. Has an ambi safety for those that are south paws. And it has "real" night sights too ! It's a real joy to shoot. I was looking at a Sig 238 but spotted this one in the case. It was cheaper than the Sigs or the Kimbers - and with a lot more features. As for mags - the Kimber and 238 mags won't work. The mag cut-out is to high on the Kimber/Sig mags. When fully inserted the mag is too high in the grip and the lips on the mag prevents the slide from closing. You could file a larger cut-out in the mag, but then you'll have a sloppy mag for the Kimber/Sig. Very pleased with this little blaster. May even carry it as a BUG. Guess its time to change the dies in my Dillion 550 . . . . . . . |

Cool !
But I have to ask, what does this do that the SIG offerings don't already offer? |

I've shot but don't own a SIG. Great little pistols. But I think the 911 has a better price, better grips and stippling. And it has excellent night sights - not like the SigLites (?) Trigger pull is excellent. The 911 also has an external extractor. With the little pocket-rockets this might be a "plus".
The cheapest Sig was $20 more than the 911. For the price the 911 has a lot to offer. Would I sell a Sig to get a 911 ? Probably not, but when I saw and handled the 911 my mind was made up. |

Sooo, is it safe to assume that the collective is overall pleased with the 911? I have been looking at hem for a while, but none of my local ranges has them in rental yet. I would like to go through a box before I buy.

All of the details on this wonderful little pistol aren't being told. For one it ships with 2 magazines instead of 1 like the others. The 911 magazines are also cheaper to purchase. It has a better trigger. Is lighter in weight but not by much. It has better sights. It has ambi safety. It has better grips. Some of these features are available in the 238 or kimber but at a higher price. There is no comparable pistol in this class with all these features for any where near the price.

I've been pocket carrying my new model, 911 FDE, for three weeks now. I haven't shot it much, only 100 rounds so far. I've got it in a Sticky holster. But I like it.
I wish I had more to report back. Maybe in a week or two. |

Just an update with mine:
It runs Hornady Critical Defense and Federal Hydra-Shock. It does not run Geco 95gr ball. It ejects empty round, but fails to fully load the next round. The slide can be pulled slightly to the rear and it will chamber. Good thing I bought 200 rounds. 
But I don't need it to run Geco 95gr ammo. I need it to run defense ammo. So, so far so good. |

Looks like a sig p238 and an XD made a baby while on LSD.
Any Springfield haters out there that want to sell their Range Officer Operator or LW Operator in 9mm or 45acp I’ll take it off your hands, cheap! |
