1911 in 9mm suggestions?

[Sikvenum93]

I want to get a 1911 in 9mm before the SSE ends. Anyone one know of any decent, lower cost ones? My ideal budget is around 600-700 and my max max budget is 900 if its a really good gun. THanks for the suggestions!

Rock Island but if you can't get it in time I'd just get the 38 next year and buy the 9mm barrel then you'll have two guns in one... kinda. I would've suggested a Springfield as I have one but that's going over your budget. There's also a couple other's but I can only think about one right now and it's the Taurus in 9.

I second this, ria makes a great 9mm for the money with a few different versions to choose from.

Interesting, I've never fired .38 super. How's the recoil? DOes it have better ballistics?

RIA tac 9mm. It's an awesome gun. Fits your budget too.

ria is good to go, for around $100 more theres taurus with some extra features
over ria's tactical model

i have a ria in 45 and a taurus in 9mm, both are great shooters, the ria needed a new barrel which ria did for free

or you could up the price a little more and sse a springfield range officer

The recoil is just a bit more than 9mm. You feel like you are shooting a gun when you shoot 38 super compared to 9mm in a 1911.

RIA 38super to 9mm 1911 is an easy conversion I have done it so I second it as an option.

I've never shot one either but its almost the same as a 9? You can even use the same magazines that came with the 38. You really can't go wrong with Rock Island. I have only heard good things about them and if I didn't get bit by the CZ bug I would be in your shoes except I would have ended up with a Dan Wesson.

I'm leaning towards rock island. But I can't seem to find any SSE shops that have any of the 9mm ones in stock

Where are you located? I'll point you in the right direction for a ria 1911 tactical in 9mm. If you go the 38 super direction, it would be for the gi model.

You can always buy it online and have one of those shops transfer it and do the SSE.

You can always buy online and just ship to an SSE FFL.

Seems grabagun has the tactical and Tac II I stock:

I'm going to school in LA(near Pasadena). But I'm currently in the Bay Area(Fremont) visiting the folks. I'd like something in LA but if better deals are to be had in the Bay I wouldn't mind going back up there during thanksgiving break.
