Welcome from Eastern NC.I'm not new to guns or pistols but am new to the 1911. Looking for a mid range 9mm without high capacity for the range. I'm in an unconstitutional state -NY
I've got Rock Island government size plus Ed Brown, Guncrafter, Wilson and Nighthawk (all 4.25") and had Ruger, Dan Wesson and Colt (all 5") 1911s in 9mmWelcome from NW Florida. And yep...budget is going to be the number 1 question needed by the great folks hanging around this site for an informed reply. They own fine, fine examples of the breed, and some have even dabbled in the dark arts of 1911 in 9mm.
My favorites are the EB, Guncrafter and my very favoritest is my Nighthawk!
thanks for the reply. NY is 10 round mag or less. Looking at $1000-1500. Can go higher but don't know if it's worth it. Prefer made in USAView attachment 8902

Man that sucks, do you have a roster to buy from like Cali or just limited to low capacity? Not real versed on NY gun laws.
What kind of price range are you trying to stick to? Don't want to recommend a Rock Island if you've got a $3500 budget and vice versa, don't want to suggest a Nighthawk if your wanting to spend no more than $750. More info is always helpful when requesting guidance.
thanks, I'll check that one outHello and welcome to Fanatics.
I have a Dan Wesson Vigil Cmdr in 9mm. And after a bit of tuning can recommend it. Sorta difficult to find but not impossible. Good luck. around msrp, sadly, these are strange times we live in
thank youWelcome from Northern Indiana enjoy the conversation.
I'll probably go higher with the Ed Brown. thanks, and I might go higher and look around at the Nighthawk since everyone here mentions themI've got Rock Island government size plus Ed Brown, Guncrafter, Wilson and Nighthawk (all 4.25") and had Ruger, Dan Wesson and Colt (all 5") 1911s in 9mm
All have been great with no issues out of as my do In theory I can recommend all of these brands.

Welcome-
I'm also from the communist state of New York-
Praying to get out soon- with 9 grandchildren here it's a tough sell for my wife-
I'm wearing here down, I think I have her convinced that the Carolina's are not that far-
As far as the handgun goes take a look at the Springfield. Reasonably priced and very reliable.
Thanks I'm am so ready- while I'm still here I'm not wasting my time, I'm always busy with my grandchildren making sure they don't turn into liberals. My one granddaughter who lives with me since birth is now 13 and she actually knows what a 1911 is . She belongs to a junior rifle and pistol club, she's been shooting a bow since she's 5 and actually loves traditional bows- she rides horses, knows how to cook and use tools . Now it time for me to get her as far away from New York as I can.North Carolina needs Patriot's like you, so Come on down.
