My wife and I have been researching and shooting lots of pistols to decide on her first hangun purchase. She wants an auto-loader, not a revolver.
At the top of the list as far as guns she most enjoyed shooting were single stack 1911's. She could operate all controls easily, rack the slides, etc., and the ergonomics were the best of all guns tried. She loved everything about them but would enjoy a lighter explosion/recoil. This brings me to my question.
For 1911's in 38 Super and/or 9mm, I believe Kimber and Springfield are the primary choices. Perhaps there are others? I want input on whether these seem like good choices.
Please keep feedback limited to the 1911-9mm/38 Super question.
thanks.
