Springfield announced last week that it would be adding some 9mm 1911 models to its regular lineup, 9mm Compact and Champion models.
More exciting to me are the new 80 Series models coming out of Colt this year. There will be a Lightweight Commander XSE, a Stainless Government Model XSE, and a 1991. I know the 80 Series thing is unattractive to many, but as someone who carries aiwb it’s one more redundant safety that I’d rather have than not.
Other makers are also including or expanding 9mm into their catalogs. It’s a great time to be a 9mm 1911 buyers!

The Colts are very attractive. I’m saving up to try and get a Warren 9mm, this will tempt me greatly. I kind of wish the Gov was a light weight though, I’m not sold on commander or officers in 9mm.
I bought a cheap Filipino 9mm 1911 and while not a carry gun, I love shooting it immensely.
Series 80 45s are very decent guns. A buddy of mine just bought a stainless Para Ordinance with series 80 safety. He has mixed feelings about the series 80 design but I told him it was totally reliable.
Anyone seen my self control?
I was looking for it and now I’m seeing 9mm 1911’s…
Huh?
Glocks are yesterday. 1911s are tomorrow.
Or something.
I just wish there was a 9mm CRG on that list.
