Some of you know that I recently offloaded a malfunctioning Kimber Custom II to a pawn shop for a loss, but not a big loss.
This negative experience behind me, I’ve started dreaming about my next handgun purchase. I say dreaming because as of tomorrow I will be out of a job, so there will be no new gun purchases for quite some time.
Despite my problems with Kimber, a company that I will never do business with again, I still love the 1911 platform. I consistently had the BEST accuracy of any pistol I’ve ever shot, the only one that came close is my dad’s late 70s vintage Browning Hi-Power, and I still shot better with the Kimber, malfunctions and all. I will soon inherit my Dad’s Hi-Power, as he doesn’t shoot handguns for pleasure and uses a Colt trooper .357 for home defense.
Once I get the Hi-Power, I’ll have THREE weapons that share the 9mm cartridge. It only makes sense, that IF and WHEN I purchase another 1911 format pistol, it should be one that uses the 9mm.
So, getting to the point. I was just wondering what experiences yall have had with 1911s chambered in 9mm. I’ve heard good things about the Springfield “Loaded” models that are specially setup for 9mm. Any input would be appreciated.

The final cost was around $1700.
