The problem is that Colt doesn't make a 9mm Government Model right now, Series 70 or 80. That makes the price a bit higher than it really should be becuase of supply and demand. So the prices on these pistols seem high, but you just can't get a brand new one right now. Colt could start making these in a year or 2. But if you're hot to get one now, a year or two just won't get it.
If I was really wanting a 9mm Colt Government Model, right this minute, I'd buy a Super 38 and get a 9mm barrel, extended ejector and that would take care of the itch for a 9mm. This might not work for everyone, because I just can't seem to plunk down any money on a 1911 unless it has a pony on it. I know, I have a bad case of horsey-itis.
