Ahhh....Ick? (1911 Ed.)

A 1911 that uses Glock 17 magazines?

Consensus elsewhere seems to be that if you want to run 9mm through a 1911, opt for the Commander-length barrel. (As Colt designed it.)

I guess it makes sense. The original pistol used nine-round magazines in a 25-oz gun, so why not opt for the extra capacity? Unless, of course, you live in a hi-cap ban state, in which case you would likely be better off dealing with 9mm magazines designed for 1911s instead of neutered-Glock magazines, which don't have the best of reputations.

Still, it's really a range toy and if you feel like dropping $1.4K on it, it's a free country. If you're going to be carrying a 9mm for realies, there are better and cheaper choices. The top four being Glock, S&W M&Ps, Sig-Sauers and HundK.
