I'm currently the owner of a Kimber Pro Carry II in .45. I was hoping to add another 1911, but in 9mm flavor. I know Kimber makes a few (including the Pro Carry II) in 9mm, but was curious about other makes out there.
I know Springfield has the EMP. I have seen STI's guns, but have not heard much about them. What I have heard has been favorable, but was curious as to what others have heard or may have experienced. My preference would be something that is the same size as the Pro Carry II (4" barrel, fullsize frame) as opposed to a Commander size, but I wouldn't let that stop me when it came to a decision. It just means I'm ordering another Milt Sparks VM2 for it.
I know I have a lot of options for 9mm, but I like my guns to be consistent so when I train with one, the same methods apply for each. Also, spousal requirements dictate a safety device that I have to deactivate, hence why I'm using a 1911. I know the arguments about the other safety mechanisms in things like Glocks and such, but if she can't see a lever or something that has to be flipped or pressed to engage, she's a no-go on it. Period. End of debate. Done. I've learned arguing doesn't help my case. But, fortunately, I love the 1911. So it isn't a huge issue.
