It's every bit as hard to control as the full size and weight .45
Uhhh, ever shoot a govt model .45?? Neither myself, my wife, nor my children ever found it hard to control.

Same here, including my wife as well. I don't pick up and keep my brass or reload either. .45 acp FMJ isn't THAT expensive. Whatever floats your boat. However, I think your reasons for rejecting the Govt/.45 acp model are a little invalid. |

x2. I've never shot any 1911 besides a fullsize, .45 ACP. |

9mm? Get a 226 or a G19.

+1 A G19 is smaller, lighter, and easier to shoot than an officers model and holds twice as many rounds. |

I doubt that. I have a G19, and I don't find it easier to shoot than any other handgun, in fact, its the hardest to shoot handgun that I own. |

Knew that name was familiar. "unusual" is a troll account that was busted by site staff in this thread.

of all my pistols, my Kimber TLE is the best, smoothest shooting gun i have seen--just point and shoot and follow up, easy
my glocks require a little more grip and concentration for me, but i love em too |

I just sold my last ( FOR NOW) 5" 1911 to help fund some other things one of which is a Wilson Compact CQB.
I have owned and or shot O'ACPs since they first came out. They are great guns IMO! I am still kicking myself for selling my last and favorite lightly customized O'ACP. I have my eye on a nearly-virgin light weight O'ACP that a freind just can't handle. I have shot it more than he has..... and I like it! He keeps saying, maybe someday ! |

Good idea. No wait, scratch that -- FANTASTIC idea. My CQB has been my most reliable, easiest to shoot, and by far most accurate firearm. I very very highly recommend them. The only problem I have with mine is that I love it soooo much that I don't want to carry it -- I don't want to have it taken from me if I end up having to use it. That's what the Glock is for  .

I used to look at it like that. Now I am more of a mind that if I do need it, I want the best in my hands at that time. I tried a glock for your very reason and sold it. It simply did not trip my trigger, so to speak. Besides I still have my current favorite 4" Kimber compact as a backup to my CCQB went I do finally get it. |

If the full-size 1911 is a "large, heavy gun" you need to see the inside of a gym.
"hard to control"?? see my response above.
No argument there.
If it's work-time to you, then keep spending your money. I enjoy reloading, and still get away cheaper than you do to boot. But, to each their own.  |

Sounds like the worst of both worlds to me.
I have no exp with 9mm 1911s, but I hear enough owners complaining that they don't cycle reliably. I have a shitload of exp with .45 1911s in officer config and I KNOW the design is unreliable. I moved up to a 4" barrel compact and yes, that .5" is a night and day difference. Maybe 2 wrongs make a right in the gun world, but I would agree with the others to pick something else if you are going to carry a 9mm. BTW, I understand your desire to carry something smaller, but why in the world would you downgrade from a .45 to a 9mm? That's a hell of a drop. I mean there's .40 in between. |

Unusual? Why yes, yes you are.
BTW, a 9mm 1911 is called a 1935
