I've tried many handguns over the years, and I've found that i do best with a 1911, and I have been shooting it regularly since 1998.
Unfortunately its appetite for .45 ACP is eating me out of house and home.
In order to save money, I've been considering buying a Kimber 9mm KDSC for practice at the range, since the controls, trigger, and grip angle seem similar to that of the 1911. (I would like to verify this with the manufacturer.)
If everything is indeed similar between the two firearms, would it make sense to use the 9mm for practice at the range, and to carry the .45 when I feel I need protection?
Perhaps I should load the double-stack mags with 8 rounds at the range for consistency to avoid confusion.
What do you guys think?
TIA
