Shootingbeaver Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 I've been trying to find a 9mm 1911 for CCP that won't break the bank. Is there anything out there with a 4" barrel other than the Springfield range officer compact? Also has anyone fitted a magwell on their gun that still fits in the box with a mag bumper? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extremist Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 (edited) Define "Break the bank"? Basically any Commander slide on an Officer's Frame would be legal. Magwells added will have to not add too much to stay within the 5 3/8" height limit. Colt CCO Dan Wesson CCO Just search for "CCO 9mm" on GunBroker, you'll see lots of options.

Shootingbeaver Posted July 3, 2017 Author Share Posted July 3, 2017 I would like to stay under a $1,000 for the gun since I will need mags and a lot of extras to get started in CCP. Must have extras for the gun will be ambi safety(kinda sucks being a lefty), fiber front, magwell if it will fit. I had not seen the colt commander so thank you for mentioning that one. Anyone think of any other possibilities that I may have missed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewthursby Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Any particular reason you don't want the RO compact, or are you just trying to find options at this point? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shootingbeaver Posted July 3, 2017 Author Share Posted July 3, 2017 I am leaning towards the ro compact but want to make sure I know all possible options before buying. If I missed one that has an ambi safety and magwell already on it I would be more willing to go that route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchman195 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 (edited) Unless your just straight against springfeild. Read the initial post wrong. either way, check this gun out This has ambi safeties and FO sightshttp://www.springfield-armory.com/products/1911-emp-4-lightweight-champion-9mm/ Edited July 3, 2017 by Dutchman195 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shootingbeaver Posted July 3, 2017 Author Share Posted July 3, 2017 I believe the emp also will not fit. Springfield website says 5.5" where the rulebook says 5 3/8 height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield website says 5.5" where the rulebook says 5 3/8 height. Get the hammer out and pound that puppy into the box. Or dremel. Their website says magazines with 'slam pad' would be interested to see what exactly the slam pad is, how much it weighs and if that is included in the height. I would be hella bummed out if the EMP doesn't fit. Seeing as I bought one for this exact division....if not It'll have to be the USPSA back up SS gun haha Edited July 3, 2017 by Dutchman195 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgj3 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I know its an old thread... From factory, SA EMP LW Champ wo2nt fit CCP box; thanks Bill W. - Wonder if it might be possible to fab a shorter sight set, use mags without "slam" pad, and squeeze it into the box. On other hand, snagged a SA RO Compact 9mm off a prize table and wondering how much wiggle room there is to make it better. - adjustable rear sight - better front sight - magwell - longer mag release - better grips - clean up trigger What say y'all?

I’m pretty happy with mine after a lot of work. Trigger was pretty terrible but it’s pretty nice now. An adjustable rear sight would be nice.

Shootingbeaver Posted June 10, 2018 Author Share Posted June 10, 2018 Grips, magwell, mag basepads, ambi safety, wolf leaf spring, and lots of trigger/internal polishing. It runs good however the chamber is really tight so you definitely have to check your reloads. My sig and rock island 9mm 1911s will eat anything, this gun needs them sized perfect.

What magwell and basepads are you running? I’m curious if Wilson ETM 9rd mags will fit the box, they are already extended a bit and may feed a little more reliably.

Shootingbeaver Posted June 13, 2018 Author Share Posted June 13, 2018 Glend Arms tactical Edge base pads and a wilson magwell. I did order a bunch of other basepads that ended up being just to long to fit in the CCP box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shootingbeaver Posted June 13, 2018 Author Share Posted June 13, 2018 Are the ETM mags still officer frame mags? I’ll call myself out and say I did not know that you can damage a officer frame ejector by using full size mags. I made the mistake of running this gun in a USPSA match where I used full size mags. I did a reload and slammed my fresh mag in the gun knocking the pressed in ejector up into the slide locking the gun up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure if they will fit the box, might need some slight modification. Good to know about the full length mags possibly damaging the ejector.

The base doesn’t look overly large so it may fit. Also I kinda like the idea starting with a 9 round mag and not having a Barney mag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
