That looks like it has Down's Syndrome. Please have some self respect.

Not the Kimber. I don't know about this one either but it looks cool. Not $800 cool.

The only mini 1911s that are worth it
>Springfield EMP, but fug Springfield
>Sig C3? The model which has an officers frame and commander slide, best option
>Sig p938
Anything else is junk unless you've got 2k plus for a Wilson
My compact Citadel 1911 in 9mm is pretty terrific. With a little over 600 rounds through it I've had zero issues with the factory mags. The trigger is crisp with very little uptake.
The only things I'm going to replace are the factory wood grips and the factory sights. The sights were already zero'd from the factory but in low light the matte black sights don't lend themselves to visibility.
It's not 1989 anymore. Many companies make functional compact 1911's that aren't going to shit the bed.

the sigs are too tiny for me. I want to like them but they feel like hotwheels cars in my hands and I cant hit shit with them
I want a legit cut down 1911

i used to be you thinking o yeah small 1911s are great
i guarantee that gun will shit the bed before 2000 rounds.
when they say replace the recoil spring every 500 rounds for 100% reliability they arent kidding.
if your okay with 98% reliably you are okay up to 1k but past that is when the guns shit themselves hard. it will be perfectly fine then it will jam every single fucking round and continue doing that till you replace the recoil spring.

>mentions 938 but not 238
Cmawn m8.

I've never thought of that.
this will forever be in my head whenever I see a 1911

Might as well just get it over with and burn a couple thousand dollars for a Detonics Combat Master.

the Defender is a legit 1911 with shorter slide and grip. the Mustang is about the same as the Sig P238, but Colt puts thicker grip panels on it.
for my medium sized hands it's alright.
