personally I would go STI, if they are good enough for competition, good enough for me

I went through a similar decision process and chose a Springfield TRP and reloading equipment. I have an STI Trojan 9mm for competition. The TRP has an excellent reputation and can be upgraded later at the Springfield Custom Shop to a Springfield Professional. I like that flexibility.

Choosing between the two listed, you can't go wrong either way. The LB will likely have a tighter slide/frame fit. I almost bought an Ed Brown Special Forces this week but opted for the SA TRP instead.

With the cost of 45acp in my area I would go with a 1911 set to 9mm.
Gun of choice would be the Para 18-9
1911 holds 18+1 rounds of 9mm.

Both of those are pretty darn good 1911's. Give the choice, of the twoI think I'd go for the Brown. A Wilson wouldn't piss me off either LOL

FWIW, I'm pretty sure I'll be getting a 2010 Dan Wesson Valor once they've been out a little, and the street price is established. Quality and feature wise those are pretty close to the higher priced 1911's especially this year's with all forged frames, and bar stock machined fire control parts.

Both are excellent choices. Both are capable of outperforming me.

Well I handload so 45's not a problem for me. But with the mentioning of Dan Wesson their 10mm sounds oh so tempting now. But I have a SA TRP which I love cant wait for it to get back from the custom shop! Well now Ill just wait and see what comes across thanks for all the help!

And I also apologize for the double post sorry guys...
