Is the 9mm “right” in a 1911? Well.. I can assure you, it isn’t wrong! The 1911 and 9mm have been intertwined, historically, since 1949- far before then if you draw a comparison between 9mm and .38 ACP. These heavy, single action pistols are easy to shoot well, fast, and accurately- which is probably why they’re so popular in today’s shooting world.
Who might a 9mm 1911 be good for?
- Someone who enjoys a 1911 but cries every time they have to check out at the store with a case of .45 ACP (it’s so expensive).
- New shooters, although these guns can allow you to become spoiled early on, so it’s wise to become familiar with other types of guns as well (get a double action revolver)!
- Older shooters who have spent a lifetime shooting big-bore handguns and have hands that show it.
This 9mm, dot-sighted Prime Elite Carry was a recent used ACW pick-up of yours favorite 1911 marketing kid, and I will tell you.. not making a mortgage payment to shoot a .45 1911 all day is a nice change of pace!

The 38 Super in a 1911 is awesome so why not a 9mm? The 38 Super fits in the 22 Hornet, 220 Swift and 35 Weland……great, great but out of date.

Beautiful and functional! 👍 If you could only pick one 9mm 1911-style pistol (thankfully you don’t), would it be a single or double stack?
