sfinney Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Dawson mags work great. Best imho. And you can buy them with the right desired basepad already, part of the price. I've also had decent luck with the Brownell's branded mag, but have admittedly not shot them as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoodrowAugustus Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I’ve never shot the RO, but I’ve handled a few and the DW is superior by more than $500 in fit, finish, bar stock steel parts, Clark ribbed and serrated top of slide, and barrel/bushing fit and lock up.

WoodrowAugustus Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Oh, and Wilson ETMs and the DW factory mags have each been flawless for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jschweg Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I agree with JCC. After buying the PM9, I thought my Sig Max Michele 1911 in 40 wasn't as well built. So, I was bad and thought the PM9 needed a companion. Found one at CZC in 40. Man, that's a nice pistol. Dan Wesson doesn't seem to regularly make a 1911 in 40, is that one of the SSC's?Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had good luck with dawson magazines for 1911. If using round-nose bullets, the tripp mags are also very nice, but with 147 flat points I occasionally got the first round to nose-dive.

MAJmorgan Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Beware, this thread gets expensive... we have 4 RO Elite Targets in use for our SASP Junior team, and they're good guns for the kids to abuse, they do everything we need em to do... but after reading all the above, I just ordered a PM-9 for myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilrb Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 You will like the PM9 it’s a good shooter out of the box, was my first 1911 after a lot of reading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpm2953 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 PM9’s never seem to come up for sale used around me. I’d love to find one. I have a couple Springfield’s but the PM9 just seems perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilrb Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I bought mine on Gunbroker as well about a year ago. They seem to have gone up since I bought mine, as stated above you never seem to see these go up for sale used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpm2953 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 I feel like I can weigh in on this now that I bought a PM9. The DW is a much nicer and more refined pistol. The average guy that’s shoots twice a year might not get it but if you have enough experience with 1911’s, there is a night and day difference. All bar stock parts is a big deal plus the fit and finish is just top notch. Dang accurate too. 1 ragged hole at 12 yards this morning. My Range Officer could never do that. I haven’t done anything to My DW besides a Magwell and grips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowBoost Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 (edited) That SSC looks awesome! If you were to play the games (IDPA / USPSA) which would be a better choice SSC or PM9? I don't care about the ambi safety, the magwell will need to be replaced as well... so perhaps the PM9 is a better value?

JayDee Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I had a PM9 and regret selling it. I also have 2 DW's in .40L SSC and a Marksman 40 from the DW custom shop. Hands down, the nicest 1911s I've owned. Fit and finish is impeccable and DW is easy to deal with if there is an issue. RE: SSC or PM9 for IDPA/USPSA/SC, If you want to score major, SSC. I replaced the magwell on mine with a Dawson Ice and have been totally happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you compare the PM-9 to the SSC? Interested in the SSC, but wondering if it's worth the extra cost vs PM-9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
