I don't know about that, but there is a trend in 9mm 1911 type
pistols growing like a Tsunami.
I have a 9mm Colt Government Model with thousands of rounds thru it but would not even think of an Ed Brown in that caliber 'cuz, for me, a 9mm M1911 is strictly a practice and training pistol and one I'd not carry because of the caliber. 2000 rounds of 9mm on a weekend course still allows use of my right hand on Monday.
Other than not being bob-tailed the Colt is a near match for either of my Browns. Same trigger, sights, etc.
Your money, of course!

It appears that lately, the 9mm pistols are getting a lot of attention and selling like hot cookies. Maybe the introduction of IPSC Standard division (is it the Standard? I am not too good at those rules thing) which allow the use of a standard 1911 in 9mm? Who knows?
Gun games have little comparison to gunfights...

In IPSC (i.e. worldwide) it's called 'Classic' division. It is more or less the same as USPSA single-stack, that our American friends have had for quite a while now!Originally Posted by John
Too many people miss the silver lining because they're expecting gold.

Gun games like gun fights have bullets flying around, and if you stop one
regardless of calibre it will seriously degrade your ability to continue the
action.
The majority of people in America having never been in a gunfight, let alone
having the bad fortune to be shot, form their opinions of this dynamic from
movies and television.
There is no way in my opinion to predict how a particular calibre weapon
will effect a human in a life or death situation.
Before you ask , yes and yes. Wrong place , right time or conversely.
Though just for the record, bigger is I believe, better.

I know there was a "limited" run of 9mm Browns a while back. Are they making these on a more permanent basis now?
never understood the reasoning behind a 9mm in a 1911. .. Go with the heaviest load that it was designed to take. Since you can't really get a good jump in round count, you might as well stick with the .45. . . . Now, if you went double stack which is entirely another ball game - then I can understand. .
I really enjoy my 9mm Volkmann 1911. It is a sweet, highly-accurate, reliable shooter. I found the 9mm to be a great way to introduce my daughter to handguns. It is a heavy gun and has a very soft recoil. That softer recoil kept my daughter from developing some bad shooting habits and she was able to shoot it all day long. (Not entirely a positive point given that she ran through $everal boxe$$ of 9mm ) After a few range sessions she easily transitioned up to a 45ACP. I agree that the 9mm 1911 is indeed a great training and practice gun.
