Colt 9mm 1911's
 

Coming 2015

Turns out that they are going to offer a full range of 9mm 1911s.

Depending on purpose 9's are becoming hot selling items as more are finding they are fun, reliable now and a lot easier and more effective with follow up shots. My favorite carry is a 9 and my favorite plinker is a 38 Super. Heck, if I had fired a 38 Super early enough in life I might never have owned more than one .45. Maybe...:D

Interesting wonder what part of next year they will be on the market,

It's odd, but I've got two 9mm 1911's, a Rock Island Tactical II and a Springfield Armory RO and I don't shoot either of them as well as my .45 1911's. I'm sure it's just me but it's a little annoying. I think I even shoot my Para Commander .45 better.
But I keep trying.

Send them this way and I will test them to make sure it's not you. Glad to be of assistance.

I'll be sure and give that some thought.

My 2 Colt 9mm's are my best shooting of all that I own! :)

If it is a 9mm is it really a 1911?:D

If it's anything but Mr. Brownings design, is it a 1911?

No...as a purist I demand they stop this nonsense....

Well, I for one am glad I'm not stuck with a spur hammer and GI sights. What do you say?

For the record, I say unless it's built exactly the way JMB designed it,regardless of who manufactures it today, it's a deviation and theoretically could be called a knock off or not a true 1911A1.

Right?

Hammers and sights don't change the basic design - "Cosmetic changes". The internals of most 1911s are close enough to JMB's original design to satisfy my purist desires.

Browning's 1911-380, however, uses a linkless design. Now that changes it to a 1911'ish pistol instead of a true 1911. Kinda ironic that Browning's own "1911" isn't.

Agreed. I personally don't mind a little deviation, just don't like the "tactical" crap they put on 1911 clones.

And yet I just had a milspec parked ww2 with gi sights internals replaced to race gun performance and prefer to carry it over all the other 1911's, including the Ed Brown Kobra Carry worth 4 times the milspec. :D

Good point.

I'm in your park on this one....I carry Springers that look like they are decades old....but the guts are fine tuned and they run like clocks.

Actually they are decades old....sights and all...:D

I agree 100%, I guess I should've been more clear with my initial response.

Cool beans.

Don't get me wrong. I'd love to have an vintage Colt or Singer 1911 for nostalgic sake. To me, it'd be like owning a 1970 Dodge Challenger vs one from today.

Deviation is good except in ones septum .
