Because the Wilson EDC X9 is a great gun
When I think about a 1911 in 9mm I just go get my Hi-Power as it scratches that itch well enough for me.
Nothing against a 1911 in 9mm. If I did it thought I would want one on par with a custom Hi-Power for it to make sense to me as I have that option already.
For personal defense or lawman carry? Insanely stupid and borderline ridiculous.
The .45 automatic has enough knock down power for the job. The 9mm has failed countless times.
According to who? You? Pardon us if we don't believe the same thing.
Antiquated thinking. Promoting the knockdown power myth?
I did not realize that the 45 was magic. Apparently no one told this bad guy that the 45 was magic:

And you think the “Little 9” would have faired better? A single stack 9mm such as a 1911 makes even less sense. I could think of few worse handguns for a lawman or civilian defender than a 9mm single stack 1911. At least with the Block you’ve got a bucket of bullets (because you’ll need them). Sounds like that officer needed some time on the range, or would have been better served with the crisp match trigger of a properly fitted M1911 to actually be able to place the shots in the T zone instead of the horrible Block trigger.
Cooper considered the .45 ACP M1911 the greatest fighting handgun in human history.
His word means more than anyone on the net.

If you asked why 1911 while so many good platforms for 9mm, I would say because I want a 1911 but I don't want to add another caliber. I have two 9mm 1911s. I also bought a 45ACP 1911 after I got my 9mm 1911s but I still shot my 9mm 1911 much more, affordable and less recoil.Why when the platform offers .45ACP, 10mm, 40S&W and America's answer to the punybellum the .38Super, just don't get it.
