Lately I've been thinking about getting a 1911 added to my collection, but I want a 9mm, not a .45 ACP. I already have 3 9mm guns, I have loads of 9mm ammo, so I don't want to start with yet another caliber.
Every time I looked for a 9mm 1911 at my local shops, I just can't seem to find any, so tonight, I looked at the California DOJ roster.
Would you believe there is only 1 (count it: ONE !) gun on the list, the Springfield 1911 EMP Compact 9mm. There are about 5 or 6 .38 supers, a bunch or .22LR, and a boat load of .45, but only one 9mm!!
What the hell is going on here? Is it that the manufacturers are not submitting the guns because of lack of interest, or are they inherently "unsafe" and unlikely to pass the tests? What's going on?
Looks like if I want to get a 1911, I'll have to get a .45... but I want a 9mm.
