I am interested in this gun and I have a Colt Series 80 GM, a Series 80 LWC and a A-O 1911A1 that all run well.
Clearly, I have a problem.

No we don’t. If we don’t admit it, it doesn’t exist! Right? Right?!
And I already want the 9mm model…

A new one or older one? I'm looking at one of the new ones, which is about %95 of the way there...the thumb safety is all kinds of wrong, but the rest of it looks right. Basically looking for a copy of an early 1940s Colt 1911A1, and that ticks just about every visual box..again, except for the thumb safety.
And looking online...hmm, the local store that has a couple of them, seems to want an insane price for them, I wonder if I'm looking at the right one..
I don't know how old it is. I bought it used for $400 off GB two years ago. The seller was starting to do a custom build, he had put in an Ed Brown barrel, but then he apparently got cold feet at the idea of doing a full custom gun on an A-O frame.

And as to all of the stuff I've read on here over the years about how 9mm 1911s can be problem children because the case is too short (amplified for the .40s) and that if one wants to run a sub-.45 1911, it's best to get a .38 Super? That's not got some truth to it?
