So I've missed my 1911 every since I sold it, but I can't really afford to shoot .45 as much as I want to, so I'm actually considering a 9mm 1911. My quest for a Beretta has hit a slow down as the guy I was going to buy it from is out of town for a week and its got me thinking, should I get a Beretta 92Fs or a 9mm 1911?
Went up to Sports World Saturday and checked out their Berettas, but the only 92 they had was a newer model stainless (which was awesome, but it had all the new Beretta bilboard warnings on the side of both the slide and dust cover as well as all the plastic parts).
This money certainly isn't burning a hole in my pocket because I was able to go into a couple of different shops Sat and keep the cash since I'm really trying to figure out what I seriously want to do next.
On the one hand, if I get a 9mm 1911, its only going to be the beginning of the purchase, since I'll take it to Dr. Greyson for an overhaul, but if I get a 92Fs, I'll probably try and turn it into an M9 project like Soulman's (just can't do it all up front right now with multiple projects in the air).
I don't even know honestly much about 9mm 1911s, but I've seen a few Springfield's and I'd rather not have the target rear sight. I've owned an EMP, and . I'm looking for at least a Commander-sized model, and probably something closer to a full-sized model.
I've seen the STIs - are they pretty much the best bang-for-the-buck in the 9mm 1911 game?
So what opinions are looming out there in OSA land?
