I own two .45cal 1911-A1s and I am very very happy with them. I also own a CZ85 in 9mm which I also love, and I used to own a BHP Practical in 9mm which I always regret selling.
So, my question, without starting a 1911 love/hate conversation, is this:
Unless you were interested in a set of 1911 pistols in different calibers for competition, sport, or collecting, why would one buy a 9mm luger auto pistol in a 1911 platform?
I may be mistaken, but aren't there many modern 9mm pistols more reliable, holding more ammo, and more concealable, than those built on a 1911 platform?
Am I thinking this through correctly or am I missing something or ill informed?
