My advice is to shoot a 38 Super side by side with a 45 acp. You might be surprised with the recoil of a 38 Super and a defensive load.
If you go with something like a Springfield Armory EMP4, you get a 1911 pistol redesigned specially for the 9mm cartridge and it will shoot softer than a 1911 38 Super or 45 ACP.
Good luck to you.
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkWell its solved. Shot 2 guns ,both alloy commanders . The 9mm won me over . Shot both with +p and the 9mm is significantly softer shooting. Thanks for all the help !

Thanks for all the input , going to shoot a light 38 super tomorrow and see how the hand feels.

Hello: You said it will be an aluminum frame and for carry. Why not just get one in 45 and be done. If you plan on shooting it alot then get a steel frame and 9mm. Thanks, Eric
A alloy commander is easier to carry and 45 kills my hand.

Thanks for the advice , thinking I'm going with 38 super thinking its got better mags available

Any reason not to consider .40 or .45 ?
They feed Very Well.
Don't shoot 45 anymore , hands are going . After 3 mag my hand hurts for the rest of the day

Looking at getting a alloy frame commander 1911 single stack for carry . I think bullet performance is close enough.
The most important thing on my list is reliability . So which caliber 9mm or 38super and which mags ?

The rmr is stronger than the sro .

If there’s one thing running Carry Optics for a year will teach you, it’s that you don’t need this widget on a carry gun. At all.
Do agree that for carry its not needed.

Thanks for the update . Trijicon said type 2 doesn't need the bubble sealing plate
-
can give a call to Cajun custom , I think the old 85 style reducing overall length of trigger pull .

talk to who your getting the safe from and they will try to sell you on how the front door is made and
fire rating . Think about where you will place the safe . Mine is in a small room against 2 walls and bolted to the floor . Bottom line any safe can be compromised given time . don't think most home burglars carry proper tools either .
-
Trijicon rmr with back up sights . I think more training has to go with the red dot .
-
Might try changing front sight color or practice with a revolver a little . It makes you concentrate on the front sight more.

For factory ammo, im not sure then.
Does it run fine with the same ammo not supressed?
Yes does fine without suppressor
-
everthing else on gun is stock . had a gen 3 that just ran without tunning .
gun is ejecting 1 and 2 o:clock . Also using factory 147 bullets
-
nice to see good warranty service
-
Put together glock gen5 with factory threaded barrel . cant get to work suppressed .
getting failure to feed . do you think I need a lighter recoil spring ?
-
Thanks for the info ,I don't think I"ll use them
-
To me looks like your striker is dragging alittle . In theory the lighter spring should unlock faster .
but with everything you changed at once hard to tell if its the ammo or gun . Might try the lighter spring and if that doesn't work , put the gun back to stock and change one thing at a time . hope it helps
-
got one for G17 rmr and everything is great . will consider one again if need comes up.
-
If you cant get the base plate corrected . might try a sealing plate from trijicon

Do you shoot competition? That’s what you do in competition by instinct. Same as immediate action in the military.
Yep your right , just saying maybe want to just use for practice
anybody back to Glock after CZ / Tanfo ?
in Glock

have to agree . After sticking with a glock long enough to master the trigger and grip , its hard to shoot anything as good
