Thanks Grainfed. It’s funny you mentioned Dawson. I have talked to them and they were the most helpful. They do make the site you mentioned, and it is the only site I have found specifically made for that pistol. I have ordered one and hope to install it soon. Through online research I have come...

I ended up getting one of these in 9mm. It has been great so far. Have you had changed out the sights? I can’t find a single manufacturer that will confirm they have sights that will fit it. S&W has been completely useless in telling me what the sight cuts are.

Thanks for the info. I would assume mine has the Ed brown main spring housing then. My Guardian is in 9mm, probably should have mentioned that before.

I have acquired a gently use DW Guardian circa 2018. After some internetin’ to research, it seems they were discontinued in 2019 and brought back in 2020 with some modifications. Other than a checkered main spring housing and different night sights, I can’t seem to find what those changes were...

Price drop! $2400 shipped

I don’t have experience with all the brands mentioned here, but I’ve owned Colt, SA, and Kimber. No real complaints on any of them. I know the criticisms of Kimber, but mine was fine. It was over 20 years ago however. I’ll put in a plug for Fusion Firearms out of FL. I have a Commander size in...

Rarely a killing frost here. I just don’t have much of a yard in our current home. I know I could do buckets, just never had much of a green thumb I guess.

That’s all quite impressive. I gave up on growing my own years ago. I just never could make the yield worth the effort. I sure do enjoy peppers though (or as a former college from Utah would always correct me, “chilies”). Luckily we have a local bbq joint that does their own Hatch Chili Festival...

Purchased in May of 2023. Shot twice, approximately 200 rounds or less. It is a flawless and fantastic pistol. It is just better than I am and I want some different items in my collection. Here is the official description: WILSON COMBAT SFX9 4.0" BARREL WITH BLACK LIGHT RAIL FRAME AND REVERSE...

I agree, it’s really just an aesthetic hand up and I need to let it go. That SW1911 with the external extractor is probably my top candidate. From all the reviews I have read, it seems to be one of the few that does not suffered for most of the problems associated with these small 1911s. The Dan...

I missed that one! There are 2 on there right now, but neither seems appealing. One seems a bit beat up (for the price) and the other is just overpriced at $1600 for starting bid…

That is another very good possibility. I was looking into that pistol and 9 mm for sometime. It’s quite pricey for a production model and I can find a Dan Wesson ECO for about the same money, although used. I was a bit put off by the external extractor, but from what I have read, it performs...

I do have a 3” EMP and it has been pretty great. My intent is to find a 3” 1911 that uses standard officer size mags. My only real complaints about the EMP are that they use proprietary mags, and that they don’t offer a flush version (at least for the 3”). It kinda defeats the purpose of the...

I will keep my out for one of those, thanks. Sounds like what I am looking for. I know the DW ECO is another out of production example, but I have read mixed reviews on it.

You won’t get any criticism from me regarding Glocks. Right now I’m thinning my safe out, and when I’m done the only thing left will be 1911s and Glocks. Just tired of fooling around with other systems. Those are the two I’m comfortable with and shall remain so. I don’t have a 40 caliber...

You guys are definitely not giving me the warm fuzzies about the Colt. Perhaps I should just stick with the SA EMP. Only problems I’ve ever had with it were from cheap reloads. It’s been 100% with factory fresh ammo. I just don’t like the proprietary magazines and the fact that I can’t get a...

I must have some serious weight/size issues. Can’t even imagine trying to hump around a hi-power or Commander concealed. My EDC is a P365. Not my favorite piece but nothing else compares for concealment. I’m trying to sort out a smaller 1911 which is why I asked the original question. I like...

No problem. I thought you were responding to me anyway! Your comment seemed to be applicable to my comment about not being able to carry at work. And it does suck!

Forgive me if this has been discussed. I looked for it and I did not see it as a previous discussion. I’m interested in purchasing an officer sized 1911 in 9mm. I know there are strong opinions about the shorter 1911s as a whole. That aside, I’m looking for recommendations based on experience...
