I'm considering buying a Colt Defender in 9mm.
Thoughts? Experience with one? Pics? Any and all info appreciated. |

Mine's has been 100% reliable.
I knew I wanted a Defender, and when I made the choice, the 9mm just made so much more sense to me in this compact 1911, and I am very happy to have gone that way. No regrets. This one is a long term keeper. But (there is always a but), I hate the wraparounds that came with it. I immediately swapped the original grip out for thin wood grips. It made it a much different and much better pistol with just that one change. |

Quoted:
At one point I had a 9mm Defender that I had refinished in black to look like a matching New Agent. Great pistol and ran beautifully (as did the New Agent). Wish I still had it. Those Hogue grips or whatever they were that came with it were awful, though. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v717/Guevera/d96c975b_zpsc56f311a.jpg That looks really nice. Black suits CCW guns much better than Stainless. |
