Well, this popped up on the radar:

Ed Brown KC-9

Pro: Same price as DW

Con: Single stack 9mm

And an Ed Brown in .40 in the same price range.

That WC EDC9 is a sexy mofo...I need that gun.

Isn’t there one for sale in the classifieds?

When I grow up, I want to be rich like Todd.

No doubt. That is a gorgeous gun. I love my Dan Wesson’s but I want one of those EDC9s in a bad way.

Food for thought. 45 x 230 x 8 = 2070 gr of billets. 9mm x 18 x 147 = 2646 gr. AND it goes BANG 10 more times without a reload. The BANG is fun.

If you can't hit your target in 8, what makes you think you will in 18?

9mm is not a con. Its older than the .45 by a few years, and despite being on the losing end of 2 world wars, has displaced .45acp, .38spl, .40s&w, 10mm, .357sig, and .45gap amongst others in the hands of serious users is seriously impressive.

There's very little difference between service calibers ballistics wise

But there's a big difference between them capacity, and cost per round wise, and 9mm beats them all there

Lol. Fudd logic. There's simply too many ways to go into how bad that argument is to want to do it, but I'll try.

#1, .45acp is not a 100% one shot stop.
#2, 9mm is easier and cheaper to shoot, which means it's easier to become more proficient with in a given amount of time, for less money
#3, maybe I don't want, or need, to hit my target 8 times? Hitting the target 20 or more times is far more impressive

"If you can't hit a deer wit 5 rounds watchu gonna do wit 30?" Said several gun store owners that didn't get my money

9mm is not a con.

It can be in a 1911, for many reasons. Ballistic performance isn’t one of them.

If there is, I haven’t found it.

Who would have expected that this thread would devolve into a .45 vs 9mm?

Always expect the unexpected at TGT!

Hey the OP started it. He wants another 1911 but is unsure of the caliber or brand. Dead nuts on topic.

I believe he said he wants both.

Yep, BUT due to constraints, want in one hand and do-do in the other. See which fills up first.

OP's fault. He presented the choice and then sat back and watched the dogs fight over the bone.

OP is a slacker.
