I was always impressed with my father's Springfield EMP. For a time I was considering buying a Springfield Range Officer Champion. I still wouldn't mind one, but other pistols need to come first, lol.

I've got a Rock Island and like everything but the sights. Its low budget though.
1911s in 9mm are fun guns.

The Range Officer Champion is a forged aluminum frame. I'm not sure of the others.

I have a Springfield Range Officer and love shooting it.
If you want to try shoot it drop a note and you can come over to Monroe/Chester and try it.

9mm is fun round, so is the 22 long rifle.

Some old guy is going to say that if you are going to get a 1911, it should be in the caliber it was designed for in 3, 2, 1...

Kimber's track record is less than ideal and they are not the best priced ones.
What is the 1911 pistol in 9mm intended for?

I agree look at Springfield and ruger. The new ruger looks awesome. Also I like some of the STI’s as well. The other 2 you mentioned ed you can’t go wrong with either. I like the rock island tactical series too.

I have a colt competition in 9mm and it’s a nice gun. It does shoot brass into my face on occasion, but a good gun nonetheless.
I have a rock island GI in 45. I bought on GB, here’s a tip, don’t actually bid on something if you really aren’t looking to buy lol.

My gun shop has one of those 1911s that come with 9mm and 22 TCM barrels.. think it was around $700..Rock Island Armory, which I've heard mixed things about. TCM Series: Rock Island Armory | Armscor International, Inc
It had about a 1 lb trigger according to my trigger gauge.

Ruger is out never had much luck with them look good good price but never seem to live up to the hype. I own a Kimber now in 45acp after the initial break in it runs flawlessly so it is still in the running. shot a friends springer yesterday wasn't to bad at all the trigger was not up to my Kimber but it wasn't far off so it's still in a little afraid of remmy's with all that's going on with them so i think i'm down to 3 the Kimber a springer or a colt leaning more and more toward the colt it's cheaper than the Kimber and i haven't had a colt in years.

Smith and Wesson makes some nice ones. A little pricey, but the quality should be there.

The only one I've owned was the STI Trojan, 5" 9mm. Great gun, no issues at all, accurate.
Now I need to go and load some 45's.
Yes, 10mm

I would like a 1911 in 9mm, but the cool factor is nowhere near as high when comparing the big 45acp match grade barrels. They're very awesome looking handguns. Fun to shoot, fun to collect. I'd rather have one in 9mm for carrying, but I don't want a heavy 1911 for daily carry, there are more suitable handguns for that purpose today.
I think everyone that's serious about gun collecting should have at least one 45acp 1911. They're like the shelby cobra of handguns, they're muscular, oldschool, and badass looking. Who doesn't like nicely machined stainless steel and hard anodized aluminum on their guns? Having said that, most of my firearms are for that factor of being fun, retro, cool looking, or something that can be personalized like 1911's. I don't think too many people would say that the thompson submachine gun doesn't also have that same sort of appeal because it's originally 45acp. I'm a firm believer that almost any bullet is a useful one for everyday self defense use.
I think for a range gun, a nice 1911 chambered in 9mm would be a great choice though.
