Okay y'all, I need a bit of direction here. I'm looking for a specific configuration of a 1911/2011.
It needs to be a 9mm with a barrel length between 3 1/2"and 4 1/2" or so. Closer to 4" is preferred. I'm thinking a full length guide rod, with the paper clip/wire rod hole, to make one handed field strip easier. Must have a picatinny type rail on it for a light or laser. Most likely just a light, as a laser grip option is fairly readily available if I want. I would like the slide to be pre-cut for optics mount, if, and, or, when the time comes that I'll need or want one. I would highly prefer an ambidextrous, or "lefty" mag. release. In a perfect world, I wouldn't need but one round for anything that arises, but, seeing as how it ain't, I would like to have a minimum of a nine and one capacity out of a single stack, as and many as possible out of a 2011. I would like the grip to be as relatively thin as possible even with the increased capacity of the double stack type magazines. Think, G43x/G48 grip with Shield Arms 15 rnd. double stack mags.
The budget is up to about $2500. Would obviously, prefer it to be on the less expensive side, due to rising ammo. costs.
So far, the only one that I've found that checks some of the boxes, is a Dan Wesson TCP. Are there any others out there?
