9mm railed 1911s - DW Specialist vs SA TRP/RO Elite

[Tango]

I currently carry a G17 for work. 9MM 124gr +P Hollow Point grows on trees for me. Has anyone had any issues with the DW 9MM Specialist using Hollow Point?

So far have 2100 rounds through a DW Valkyrie with probably 300 of them being 124 gr. HST's and Gold Dots with zero malfunctions.

Ooops......in the interest of fair reporting, three rounds nosedived in the first 300 rounds on slidelock reloads using the stock magazines. No problems since with those mags, Wilson's or McCormick's.

I haven’t seen anything on a 9mm TRP. Did they release any more info on this?

This would seem to be a reasonably good option in the category under discussion.

Interesting they have the capacity listed as 9+1. I thought those 9mm mags were 10? Especially with a magwell like that

It does not appear that SA is releasing a 9mm variant of their TRP, only a 10mm. At least, they did not announce a 9mm at SHOT. This is perhaps this biggest oversight in the history of the world.

Or they are waiting for the NRA show.

There’s something about Sig 1911s that just don’t seem right to me, same with S&W. I got some misinformation on the 9mm TRP, the industry guy that said it was coming misread my post and Benchmark Precision isn’t taking on new projects so I have settled fully on the Specialist. Now I’m just trying to figure out if I should save a little money and get the SS since I’ll have some milling done and it’ll need a refinish anyways, or just get the duty treat from the start.

I think you just answered your own question - why get duty treat if it will need to be re-done ?
