I'm interested in getting a 9mm 1911. I'm not interested getting a tinkering gun, which probably rules out most 1911s. I want one that just works, and I don't want to spend $3K on a custom gun.
What are your recommendations? This one caught my eye - S&W:

How much are you willing to spend?
It depends on what I have to spend to get something that works. $1500?
I have a 2002 era Springfield Loaded 9mm that I picked up used and it shoots well. The mags that came with it are Metalform and seem to do the job. Most of the time I give it to my younger son to shoot or a newbie shooter that might be recoil sensitive.
STI seems to be a fairly popular brand of 9mm 1911s but I have no experience with them or S&W. I think Dawson Precision can setup an STI how you would like and give it a tune up before sending it to you.

Someone asked this question to Larry Vickers in his 1911 operators class last August and his response was a Wilson Combat 9mm.
Unfortunately, I don't want one that bad. It's just too much money.Originally Posted by TAP
That SpecOps 9mm is pretty sweet. Pricey but sweet.

I believe that the Spec Ops 9mm is around $1800. Close to your budget

I wasn't finding them that cheap. Got a link?
Asked WC to take look at this thread.
