1911 in 9mm. What’s the best?

[Dismas316]

I have resisted these from the beginning but may need to reconsider. Interested in a 1911 in 9mm (yes I know real ones come in 45). My ideal one would be closer to the g19 size, something like the Springfield EMP 4 but open to suggestions. This role would be for edc (not replacing my glocks) but just like that as an option. Candidly it would be more of a range gun but I always like to have pistols that can be concealed carry as an option as I mentioned.

So what do you suggest and why? Pics are encouraged, who doesn’t like gun porn?

A lot of people really like carrying guns in the lightweight commander format (4-4.25” barrel, full size grip). Dan Wesson and Wilson both make excellent examples.

The Springfield EMP 4 Concealed Carry Contour looks very interesting, though non-traditional in terms of internal parts. And Springfields are reliable.

If you want one that really works, then start with Wilson Combat. They have the 9mm 1911 about as sorted out as it has ever been.

Dan Wesson and Wilson Combat are the 2 I have personal experience with.

I’ve owned 4 1911’s chambered in 9mm, 3 needed tuning to get them to run 100%.

If I was going to bet my life on one, it would be a Wilson.

Dan Wesson and Wilson Combat have 9mm 1911’s figured out better than anyone else.

There are some good deals on stainless 9mm Valor Commanders out there.

What’s your budget?

My personal experience with the Dan Wesson 9mm commanders has been excellent.
