I'll give you a $100 for the Kimber.

Beat me to it darn it.

I can fix that Kimber........................

Same here, mine works great after adding Ed Brown parts.

My Colt is the same way. Knowling bushing....Brown hammer/sear and some love. Doing the rails when I get the time.

The 1911 shoots great in the 9mm platform and is a lot of fun.

My RIA 9mm GI on top.
Runs just as good as any other handgun I've purchased. Very accurate actually.

You run what you like "But".................

To me, a 9mm 1911 is like buying a new Camaro with a V-6

No knock on the round but it is just Blasphemy to the alter of the all mighty JMB......................

I agree with you a 1911 should only be chambered in 45acp. I will only own a 45acp 1911. But have to admit after shooting AllenM 9mm Fusion 1911 a month ago and the 2011 9mm he is building right now over the weekend the 9mm versions are fun.

Sticking with one caliber does simplify things. I assume those are all 9's?

 

[nra4ever]

You should try a RIA 9mm/22TCM a 2 for one fun to shoot 1911

Yessir
I'm a big fam of the 9mm. I reload and live in an apt, so it makes it much easier space wise.
Just added a p226 mk25 to the collection last month also. Absolutely adore it!

Maybe I'm , but when someone says 1911 and 9mm, I think Hi-Power. And with that said, we can still say God bless JMB.

Kinda new at the 1911's. It never even entered my mind to buy one in 9mm. I mean why?

 

[VERT]

The 1911 in 9mm is one of the easiest shooting pistols a person could ever lay their hands on. I was always a big Hi Power fan, but I have really come to love my SW1911 in 9mm.

Because not everyone loves what everyone else does.
I have nothing against 45acp at all. I just like 9mm better. I also happen to like the nostalgia of a 1911, so why not eat the cake too?
That's the great thing about guns... you can always get exactly what you want... and they are very manly

 

[churchmouse]

Had a few Hi-Powers in my day. Straight shooters, reliable. Everything you expect from a JMB design. I am just a recoil junky I guess.

Partyboy....I shot the 2011 AllenM built and with his loads it was a hoot to shoot. But really, it is a 2011 and no blasphemy involved in doing a 9mm with that platform.

Really guy's....shoot what you like and can afford.

 

[ru44mag]

You just have to get rid of this piece. Silly French thought they needed a mag disconnect.

This Springfield 9mm is my only 1911 to date and one of my absolute favorite pistols.

 

[Drakkule]

I love the 1911 platform, I own mostly .45acp versions, but I also have a couple 9mm's, and a couple others in different calibers. I prefer .45, but I like the platform enough to not limit myself to one caliber.

 

[Colt556]

I own 1911s in .22, .38 Super, 10mm and .45 ACP. Most are Colt, several are Kimbers and one is a Fusion. The 2 times I've owned a 9mm Commander I stuck a .38 Super barrel in it and moved on. I really like the .38 Super in a 1911. Since 1911s in 9mm is all the rage now I should try one out, especially since I shoot a lot of Hi Powers and CZ75s. I've shot AllenMs older 9mm but not his newest creation. Knowing him I know it will shoot great!

 

[churchmouse]

Well, after reading this thread again I am forced to admit that I have a 1911 in .22 Lr.
I use it as a teaching tool when I take my sister/SIL/ MIL/and young folks to the range. GSG with threaded barrel and a Burris Fast fire on it. It is a great tool to orient newbies to a semi-auto platform and I enjoy it sometimes myself. Suppressed it is really kind of fun.
JMB, I am sorry......well, just a little.

 

[halfmileharry]

There is a thriving market for them.

I am not knocking what an individual wants to run (caliber) I have just been using .45 ACP since the age of 12. Anything less is, well, not worthy.....

Not gonna argue with the .45acp as it's my favorite rnd in the 1911 but I do like the .38 super a lot as well. You know how it is...being the little brother from JMB and all. Must be that history thingy
