Made this meme just to poke the 45 Bear. Yes, my advice still stands: Get the 1911 in 9mm.
If you are only going to have one 1911: 9mm.
If you are a 1911 performance shooter: 9mm.
If you are a 1911 self defense shooter: 9mm.
If you are a 1911 training junkie: 9mm.
If you are looking for a CCW 1911: 9mm.
If you are looking for the more capacity in 1911: 9mm.
If you want the most SD/HP options for a 1911: 9mm.
If you want to shoot 1 million rounds in a 1911: 9mm.
If you want a 1911 with the smallest POA-POI / Drop: 9mm.
If you want a 1911 that your entire family can enjoy: 9mm.
If you want to set the world,1911-speed-record: 9mm.
In short, when asking about 1911’s, the answer is always 9mm. When JMB chambered the 1911 in 45ACP, that is because he was told to. Today he would be told to do it in 9mm. In the future, if the DOD switches all handguns over to something called .357USARMY (357USA), guess what? The 1911 will be chambered in that.
The 1911 is the platform of the ages. The caliber is just a reflection of the times. Like Lawrence Welk or the Beatles. Get with the times YOU live in! We live in a 9mm world. If you are a serious 1911 “shooter”, a student of the gun, or want to go somewhere in your shooting career?
Get the 9, every time.
Sincerely,
Marky
