Buying a 1911 in 9mm is verboten.

>>33529905
well im in a bit of a financial pinchand cant afford to go full,45 and i refuse to get a 1911 in .22

>>33529931
Just get something else in 9mm, or wait till your not a broke faggot and get a good 1911 in Gods caliber

>>33529940
>gods caliber
kek
well what is a decent 9mm for the cheap i was thinking zastava because is full metal but some of the reviews on slick guns say its shit but im not sure if the guys on that site are just faggots

>>33529954
Keep an eye out for a surplus hi-power, they hold more rounds than a 1911

>>33529820
but.... you dont want a 1911 in 9mm.

If you want a 9mm, you buy a Beretta 92.

If you want a 1911, you want it in 45ACP

p938 is a good choice.

what about kimber micro 9? it is def safer than a glock.

>>33529931
> budget 1911
> in 9mm

You're not going to find one under 500. Just get a RIA or Auto Ordnance in 45 and call it good

I've only ever shot colt 9mm 1911's and they were extremly reliable, only issues I had (what a surprise) were magazine related issues. I've heard a lot of good shit from RIA but never shot one my self. I've shot a norinco 45 1911 and it was rough as shit but worked 99% of the time. More of a range toy then self defence.

>>33529820
OP Ignore these .45 purists and get yourself a Rock Island Armory 1911. They are made on original Colt machines using original Colt specs, and they go for >$500.
They even have gubmint issue series designed to be as close to a 1911A1 as possible

Model 51615 is the 9mm version

The star super b is a decent gun. Don't expect finish or beauty, but a gun that works great it is. Plus it's cheap. Not a traditional 1911, the takedown is different and it has a magazine disconnect in the trigger. Great gun though.

>>33531295
Samefag here, these go for around 200-300 dollars. Do you research before getting one

Safari Arms Matchmaster Grip + Peters Stahl slide/recoil system/barrel. In case you were wondering.

gonna go full heretic and ask for recommendations for a compact 1911 in 9mm

Ii already own a regular 1911 in .45, I want something different for fun
Im looking at the colt defender and some Springfield but open to others

So I know kimber gets shit on for being over priced, but what if you get could one new for 30%ish cheaper than common street price?

did sumbodieeeeeee say 1911 in 9mm?

OP ignore fags saying 1911s need to be in .45acp.

bullet tech makes 9mm effective, you can shoot more, and most likely rock faster splits, better shot placement, and not develop any bad flinches or habits due to low recoil.

Nothing wrong with 9mm 1911 OP, the 1911 was initially designed around a cartridge similar to 9mm.

Agree with this, you can get a sub 500 1911 from Rock Island Armory, look around for a good deal on gun broker or something.

Also getting a 1911 in anything other than 45 ACP is heresy

Brokefag best handgun is a canik tps9 or whatever the fuck it is.

>>33531645
>>33531295
A star is not a 1911, it's just styled after the 1911. It works completely different. If the OP just wants a gun that looks like a 1911, then sure, it'd work great.

>>33531652

you buy yer .45s traveling at 830fps avg

while the rest of us grow our collection in 9mm, 10mm, 38super, 9x23, etc.

>>33529820
Don't get a 1911 in 9mm. 1911's are for 45 and bigger. Better guns to get in 9mm would be: CZ 75, Browning Hi Power, Beretta 92, or a SIG P226.

>>33531563
>not including Cabot

>>33531738
No.

>>33531702
The 1911 is my only 45, everything else is 9mm with the exception of a .22lr

>>33531645
You fuck off with your fake 1911

>>33531295
Worth the money? I have had my eye on one of these for a bit and thinking of picking one up. What do you do for aftermarket mags? I worry about this as much compatibility and availability of replacement parts.

>People genuinly advocating for 9MM 1911s
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>33531757
rob schauland is cabot.

>>33529820
Even though I don't really like the .45 I still consider getting a 1911 in anything but the original calibre to be heresy. Like converting a luger to 10mm.

>>33532487
1911 is a great gun in 9mm. What 125lb woman do you know that can dump a .45 mag?

>>33529820
+1 for the RIA. But don't get the GI model, the sights are unusable, and the dovetail is non-standard. If you were willing to spend double, get the Colt 1991 or Competition Pistol. You won't have to worry about fixing any reliability issues, and it would be something you would be proud to pass on to your kids.

>>33529820
Kinda feel like having a 1911 in 9mm is an odd choice.

Granted ive never fired one in 9, so who knows. Imagine its a smooth shooter.

Get a smith and Wesson 5906

>>33529820
9mm 1911s are fine. they're plenty reliable, you can buy 50% more bullets per dollar. you can fit 2 more rounds per magazine and the recoil is super light. my only regret about buying a 1911 was that it wasnt in 9mm.

OP get an RIA, Ruger, or Springfield RO. cant comment on the remingtons.

Pretty sure buds has a used RO in 9mm up right now for like 650.

>>33532820
I don't know why people think this. I'm four deep into 1911s and I wish I got a 9mm as my first. Would have gotten way more practice in back before I started reloading. Kinda still want one for CC, 10 rounds with a flush mag would be dope af.

>>33532777
>women should focus on getting pistols that are hard to control

>>33532788
The 1911's development has it's genesis in .38ACP pistols (not to be confused with .380ACP or .38 Super, the latter with is more or less a +P load of .38ACP)

.38ACP really isn't a far cry from 9mm Luger

Excellent guns, but he might be looking for a thin single-stack and a typical 1911 SA trigger.

kimber micro 9 is the GOAT all the kimber hate on /k/ is fake news.

out of the hundreds of thousands of kimbers sold you have <20 pictures. I can shit in a urinal, doesn't mean I should.

>>33533015
And you can buy a post-2000 Kimber, yet you shouldn't.

>>33533482
ive shot 100,000 rounds through my kimber no issue. and they have top notch customer service.

>>33533712
And I have 6 million rounds through my Tavor with 0 malfunctions

>>33532864
>Pretty sure buds has a used RO in 9mm up right now for like 650.
i have the "operator" version of it. Its really nice. Even has the Operator rollmark. Best out of box quality you can get for a 9mm 1911 aside from knighthawk or wilson combat.

>>33533742
makes sense, jew.

>>33532995
So the kimber mim issue was real, just like glocknades were actually real, but is it still the case now? Has kimber stopped cheaping out on mim parts and started making them properly?

I understand that there are 1911 purist that don't want any mim at all, but for people who don't care about what process the parts are made from, has kimber actually improved their parts quality control?

>>33532075
Yes

I have a Springfield Armory 1911 from the 1980s. My dad had it for ten years and gave it to me. He fieldstripped it and oiled it right out of the box, and ran 200 rounds through it the day he got it. About 5,000 rounds later, he gave it to me, I've prolly put 5-6000 rounds through it, too. No FTF or FTE, even with 30 year old ammo. I have had problems with junk GI magazines, but the original mag and Chip McCormick 10 rounders work great. Fucking thing still looks almost new, and with the mag out you can shake it like a maraca and there's no rattle.

My fav gun, I'll never sell it.

>>33529820
>not getting your 1911 in .38 Super Auto
>why even

>>33535928
if you must go 9mm, go Super.
