I'd take a 9mm 1911 in a heartbeat. They are on The Long List, but have never made it to The Short List.
ME, if it's the Combat Commander!I might. It's something I've never tried. All the handguns I've tried, bought, kept or sold to get something else never did I think I'd consider a 9mm 1911. 45 has that special feel. 9mm ? Everyone's friendly comments , reasons and ideas are welcome. I would think there's plenty.
That looks good!I'm kinda partial to the appearance of Pachmayers on my Springer.

Is the above a tip of your hand, so to speak?.45 has that special feel
ME, if it's the Combat Commander!
Lately I have. Ive gone back to plain old USGI plastic with most of the 1911's I have, simply because their texture is more aggressive and they fill my hand better.That looks good!
anybody else getting bored of fancy wood??
Hence the " I might" comment. And the comment finding project. All opinions are interesting. I have copies of 1892 winchesters in .357 and 44 mag. I have a 45 colt version. Never was a Winchester in any of those back in the day. There are 4 cyl mustangs. I have a modern rifle in 45-70 called 1895. But thank you for permission !!! But I don't let strangers impress me like that man behind the counter did you.Is the above a tip of your hand, so to speak?
If so, and if you’re serious about a .355/.356, you may want to ponder the only other 1911 chambering that bears J. Browning’s & Colt’s fingerprints, the 38 Auto - aka, the 38 Super.
I will never forget picking up my very first 38 Super nor the comment made by the old head behind the counter as he opened the parcel … muttering to himself, he said: “Oh, what have we here? Ahh, a Colt Government & it’s chambered for the only other round the 1911 was originally designed for, the 38 Super”!
Of course, if your special feel to it comment was devoid of sentiment, nostagia or history, then by all means, get a Georg Luger-chambered 1911!
Oh, or should I say, Oooh ... I missed that "I might" comment, but not because I was unimpressedHence the " I might" comment. And the comment finding project. All opinions are interesting.

Every 1911 I own is in .45 until recently. I ventured down the 9mm 1911 rabbit hole with a Colt Competition for range time. Darn fine weapon and she runs well. .45 21 bucks plus a box vs 11 bucks a box for range fodder is a no brainer for todays market...
I love 1911 pistols, I have 38 super, 45acp and 9mm, the 9mm is cheaper to shoot less recoil and my wife's favorite. I shoot the 9mm more than the others because of having more 9mm ammoI might.

That's what happens when you can't talk face to face. Which would be awesome but no clubs or what ever around here. ThanksOh, or should I say, Oooh ... I missed that "I might" comment, but not because I was unimpressed
Good luck with your decision ... can't go wrong with a 1911
I have a Para with the rubber grips. It's OK. The gun runs like a sewing machine.
Slip of the keyboard, 0.356 intended.I'm unaware of where this is specified
