Always great to read about another great gun offered by Springfield Armory however that being said the author left me slightly; well, Hmmmm
Referring to Americans celebrated individualism as deplorable had me thinking, “what” and his description of the guns action as “warm snot on glass”
“Really” sorry maybe just me not sleeping well. Although I’m not interested in going back to the 9mm platform still a (Beautiful gun)

You’re being [almost] over generous, Key… this silly article claims “review” in the title but says next to nothing about the Garrison 9mm.

The exterior of each of those is my idea of a nice 1911. No front grasping grooves and no underlug. The rear sight could have the flat cocking shape that is getting popular, but that is nit picking. One last thing, 1911's should be in .45 or .38 Super. YMMV

How easy would it be to add a Vortex red dot site to the Garrison 9mm?

Depends on how you want to do it.
If you want easy, but no co-witness, you could just replace the rear sight with a rail. It’ll make the red dot sit pretty tall, though.
Otherwise, you’ll have to have the slide milled, and probably refinished. It’ll run you a couple hundred bucks.

Thanks, Hans, I would go with having the slide milled. I will check locally to see who can work on this for me. I would like to buy it set up and ready to go.
Great ! Now make it in 3 inch.Hello all, here is today's article posted on TheArmoryLife.com. It is titled "Review: Springfield Armory 9mm Garrison 1911" and can be found at https://www.thearmorylife.com/review-springfield-armory-9mm-garrison-1911/.

My Kimber Custom II duel tone is in 9mm, very nice gun and accurate
Beauty's in the eye of the beholder.
Yes, size and weight are nice. I've been tempted to buy one, but holding-out. Personally, I prefer the 1911 format.
I have a Springfield 3 inch 1911 '45 in stainless - great little gun. I wish they'ed make the same pistol in 9mm.
I don't buy no ugly guns, that's why I don't own a Garrison 9mm.

Mines close to 300 rounds now, few mishaps, but nothing to really complain about

This is a full size 1911, just in 9mm
Yes, I know that. I want a 3 inch barrel.
Ooops, I'm seeing various photos of different Garrison 9mm. Some appear as typical 1911, others not so much.

It’s good to want things.
I’ll continue to whine like the poor little … that I am … some of us live in the hot humid south! People that write comments like “…while the front strap is left comfortably smooth“ don’t live and train down here! Front strap checkering PLEASE!
Others are kind enough to tell me “just spend more money if you want that feature”
Believe me if I had the extra $$$$ i would
This is the 1911 I would buy at this price (what I can afford) if it had front strap checkering.
