Hey guys, any good recommendations on a good 9mm 1911? The title is slightly misleading, I'm looking for a good model for carry purposes, so if it comes down to a 3" barrel so be it.
Here are a few Iv'e looked at: -Springfield EMP -STI Ranger -STI Guardian -STI Escort -Kimber Aegis Any others? |

I've been thinking about a commander sized 9mm 1911 lately myself.
I want a dedicated carry pistol and my current sidearm, a Kimber 5" in .45acp might be a bit much for every day carry. I've looked at a few STI guns and the Springfield EMP too but I keep coming back to Kimber. I was at the local gun shop last week and they had a Kimber Tactical Pro II in 9mm for just under 1300. 
Lets just say if I had the money to blow and a purchase permit it would be in a holster on my belt right now.

When I hear Commander, I think of a 4.25" gun with a bushing. I would like to see Colts make more in 9mm. I would consider one if they did. Meanwile, I think the KZ is something I would like to see even with it being so far removed from what I am used to, I still am interested in at least checking one out. |
