Your favorite double stack 9mm 1911 around 1k

[jetspeedz]

What do you guys like. Looking to buy another handgun and want a double stack 1911 9mm around 1k. Yes looking for 9 not .45 ...

Thanks

I hope you already have, hi-cap mags, are exempt, or do not live in CA because a double stack 9mm 1911 is useless without one of those options.

RIA/armscor makes a wide bodied 9mm 1911 I am pretty sure.

hi cap mag is no issue, keep the gun recommendations coming.
looking for owners with personal experience, too bad kimber is 7rnd, does anyone know if a double stack mag will work? I believe only one 9mm kimber 1911 is on the approved list

Save up and buy a used a STI or SVI 2011. Trust me. I own one in .40. Took me foreverrr to save up for it but I don't regret it one bit. Gotta get it into California with a Single Shot Exemption, though.

I was looking at the STI but i can't bring myself to spend 2k for 9mm double stack when i can get two kimbers for that price. I bet they are a great gun though. Any other double stack 1911's ?

None that are worth a damn. 1 STI > 5 Kimbers. Are you really dead set on double stack?

[kmca]

Para Ordnance, Caspian, maybe Springfield. If it makes a difference, the RIA/Armscor uses Para mags and if you can find one...it's waaaay under $1k.

not 1k...but the Wilson Spec Ops 9 is a quality built piece

Thanks for the reply guys,

I read a little about the SA and it got mixed reviews, a lot of people complained out the box it needs a lot of work. I'll look at the others listed.

I'm set on a double stack b/c I will be using it at the range quite often. I just got back from the range and I felt bad for the guy next to me with his SA and 5rnd magazines while i got a 15 round glock double stack magazine. He spent more time reloading than shooting.

But the two kimbers are still not an STI, lol. That is the issue.

I would look at the CZ75 TS if you just refuse to buy an STI for whatever reason.

CZ75 Tactical Sport. Look it up.

[jetspeedz]

Agree, ill have to think about an STI

I'll research it thanks for the suggestion. Do you have one?

[Cyc Wid It]

SA with 5 round magazine? Do you own any 1911's currently?

[jetspeedz]

No i don't own any 1911's it would be my first. I'm a Glock owner looking to venture into 1911's. I'm not 100% but it sure looked like a SA 1911, but i know he had 5rnd mags.
