Colt 1911 9MM
« on: July 04, 2017, 10:52:41 pm »
Decided to try and pick one of these up.   I like my 1911 22 Trophy so well I thought WTH.

Specifications:
Colt Competition Government 1911
Caliber: 9mm (reviewed) or .45 ACP
Barrel Length: 5 in., 1:16 twist
Overall Length: 8.5 in.
Weight: 36 oz. (unloaded)
Grips: Blue G10 Checkered with Scallop
Sights: Novak Front Fiber Optic, Novak Adjustable Rear
Action: Single Action, Semi-Auto
Finish: Blued
Capacity: 9+1
Price: $899

What do you think a lightly used one could be had for.  Not going to pay MSRP for new one.

I wouldn't think you'd find many used ones. It's only been out a couple of years.

If you absolutely have your heart set on a Colt, that' one thing. If not, check these out: http://www.gunbroker.com/item/662773588https://www.classicfirearms.com/star-model-super-b-9mm-semi-auto-pistol

I have two in 9 Largo and I love them, but these are 9X19 (9mm parabellum/9mm) and a LOT cheaper than the Colt.

Same heft and feel as a 1911.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Well there is that.  I saw one for 469.00 .  It was 60 miles away.

The used ones go for almost the price of a new one from what could find.

This would make a good alternative however: http://armscor.com/firearms/gi-series/gi-standard-fs-9mm/

Thanks!  I hate the grip but that is probably an easy swap.

Yeah they are standard 1911 grip panels...easy to swap.

You can also get that one in .38 Super as well.

@Wingnut

Since a 9MM is widely considered to be a "45 ACP set on stun",it's going to be tough to find one.

If you are dead set on avoiding the best chambering,45ACP,shoot for the stars and look for a 38 Super.

When you look at places like SG Ammo they have 1,000 rounds loose in a box for $135...kinda hard to find much cheaper than that.

I picked up 200 rounds of Monarch steel casing 9mm ammo about a month ago at Academy for $35.

@Wingnut

Ever consider reloading? I used to shoot a BUNCH of 45 ACP's up,and never had less than 4 or 5 hundred empty cases and loaded rounds laying around all the time. 200 grain wadcutters aren't that expensive when you buy 1,000 or so at a time,and the powder and primers don't cost very much,either.

Use to reload 16 gauge shells when I was younger.   No desire to play with brass.

Maybe get up with a buddy that reloads one weekend,and give it a try? It's simple and fun for the anal,and I have yet to meet a shooter that isn't anal about his guns.

Actually, I have loaded shotshells (12 and 20 ga.) and a half dozen calibers of rifle and pistol. The brass is easier imho than the shells were. Give it a try.
