9mm 1911 Question

[seeker_two]

Any interest in Glock trades?

Moonpie ain't trading away any of his Glocks....

I believe this is related to the fairly standardized firearms laws across Mexico & Central America, which prohibit civilians from owning anything of a ‘military” or magnum caliber.

Is yours a .40S&W ?

nah, 9mm. not a fan of .40

Understood & agree, but you said that you are ‘’a mexican”.

Do you live in Mexico, or is that just an abbreviation for Mexican-American US Citizen ?

I’ve been told my friends from Mexico that they were not allowed .45ACP or 9mm, as both have been “military” cartridges. Similar with 30-06, .308, 8mm Mauser, & 5.56NATO.

Or has the law there changed ?

1911 9mm. Even single stack. It has a better trigger than the Hipower and it's easier to rack the slide in interesting situations than CZ-style guns with the small slide.

Sig 210? Really? I thought those were only for museums...

PSA has the 9mm rock island for 299 right now . thats a good deal.

You need to be on the ball to get those deals. Waiting to read about it in a forum means you've already lost.

Sig makes a modernized 210. Very nice guns, but a nice 9mm 1911 is a more practical choice

I learned something today. Nice looking gun, but I agree.

I dont agree with this assertion

Because it lulls the shooters in adjacent lanes to sleep, then I load the Python…

if I did own a 1911 in 9mm it would be one in .38 super because im a mexican
however I carry a CZ75 P01 Omega with a dot and a light so my choice is already made there lol

I adore my P01 Omega, it fits my hand perfectly! Until I shoot it, then it bangs the thumb knuckle near the web of my hand until I can't take it. I'd hoped to use it as my daily carry, but I just don't shoot it enough because of that discomfort.

Just out of curiosity's sake.....why would you choose to own a 1911 in 9mm instead of a Browning Hi-Power?....

.....or a SIG P-210?....

....or a SA CZ-75 variant?

Just wondering.....

I’ve often wondered the same thing. I am a huge BHP fan and never gravitated to 1911 In 9mm. It’s unholy.

 

[tonelar]

My 9mm 1911 is my first Colt purchase. It shoots really well, too.

 

[Txdweeb]

Simplest answer is the 1911 trigger while the options you’ve listed are imho better options for the 9mm.

I haven't yet had one in 9mm, but I think I will. Why 1911 over the other pistols mentioned in the OP? For me, it's chiefly the superior ergonomics. I've owned Hi Powers and CZs, and they are nice (and sometimes I miss them), but they don't hold a candle to a 1911 in terms of ergonomics. One has to mention the obvious - The trigger of the 1911 is superior to any other. People often compare the trigger of other pistols to the 1911 by saying that, after their trigger job, their trigger is almost as good as a bad 1911 trigger. Then, there is the surpassingly elegant mechanism, and the aesthetics...

Every "handgunner", in the pile of plastic striker fired pistols, should have a snubbie and a 1911 style gun. If you can shoot a 2" snubbie DA trigger well you can shoot anything well, and the 1911 makes even sloppy trigger control look good. :-)

I like the 1911 pistol, don't care for the others.
