The nice thing about 9mm 1911s is that they have very little recoil. They are smooth shooters and you can run box after box through them even if you are recoil sensitive.
In a double stack, I'll take 9mm all day.
caliber does not make a 1911. a lot of old folks try and talk shit about 9mm 1911s, claiming they are not real 1911s because blah blah "original colt 45 blah blah"..
what makes a 1911 is the trigger system. notice how on 1911s, the trigger blade is connected to a trigger bow, not a trigger bar. so the entire trigger moves rearward, thus making the shooter less likely to jerk.
on other guns, the top of the trigger blade is connected to a trigger bar, therefore only the bottom part of the trigger travels rearward.
THATS WHAT MAKES A 1911, A 1911!!
I can think of a few but I'm sure those reasons wouldn't stand when compared to the ego you place on the caliber.
Cost - cheaper
Handling - quicker on target after a shot; easier recoil for injured or disabled hands & wrists; lighter recoil spring; capacity
Baiting is not a good way to go on the forum. Contribute something worth reading. Yes as Navyguy posted 115+115 = 230.
I guess those who use a .45 don't use the technique of shooting until the threat is stopped? Are you certain the .45 will stop with one shot all the time?
Dude, he wasn't baiting, he was having some fun... let's not take ourselves to seriously.
Welcome to the forum, New Member Soctt_F. Hope you'll stick around long enough to learn the feel of the forum itself as well as them members.
Join us at local shoots. If you're in DFW I urge you to come out for our monthly TGT shoots - the next one on July 26th at Elm Fork @ 10am. You may meet me there and decide if I take myself too seriously or not
My wife wants a Springfield Armory EMP 9mm and from what I hear it's a very very good gun.
I have a Tac Pro 9mm I am going to sell I love it though. No recoil and a 4" 1911 frame. What a dream.
