It wouldn't be my first choice unless the shooter is small and whispy. .45 acp out of a 1911 is pretty tame.

Thanks for the article Mike,
Good article, good gun, but the 9mm 1911 in article's been discontinued. Good for a new shooter?

Nope.

I would like it for range time if it had a double stack.
For now I'll just keep my MOD2 Tactical..

Personally I would never buy a 1911 in 9mm. The biggest advantage of a 9mm is high capacity.

Yeah, but 9mm from a 1911 is sublime.
