When I shot bullseye, I had two accurized 1911s. They were both 45 ACP and tack drivers.
I no longer shoot bullseye and have sold off my bullseye guns. I now shoot just for fun with 9 mm, 357 Mag and 22 LR.
I reload for my three 9 mm guns, a Smith & Wesson 986, a Sig Sauer P210 and a Walther PPQ Q5. To keep things simple, I shoot the same reload in all three guns. All are very kind to the brass and accurate even with the shared reload.
I miss the 1911 and would like another in 9 mm. My stepson has an RIA 1911 in 9 mm. It’s hard on brass. I can’t resize it down enough to fit a Wilson or a Shockbottle 9mm case gauge. Other than that, it shoots great. It treats brass like a Glock. The chamber is not fully supported.
This won’t work for me and I would like a 1911 that I can add to my 9 mm stable that treats the brass kindly so I can share brass and reloads between my guns. I’m too old for added complexity.
I only know that Les Baer lists a supported chamber for their 9 mm 1911s. Are there any others? I’m looking for a 5-inch 1911 with fully adjustable sights and supported chamber..
Thanks!!
