My wife's cousin is looking for a 1911 in 9mm. We took her out a couple months ago and let her shoot about 30 different pistols so she could get an idea of what she liked. She just got her LTCH this year and will be starting a new job soon. Out of everything she shot she liked my Ruger SR1911LW in 45 the best, but wanted it in 9mm for the lower recoil. Most of the things she shot didn't fit her hand well. I wear a size 12 ring and her hand is the same size as mine except she has long piano player fingers. She's made up her mind on the 1911 in 9mm so at this point nothing else will be considered.
So far my Ruger is the only 1911 she's handled. She said she'd like to shoot some that are in 9mm before she buys something though. Does any one know of any ranges in the Indy (or anywhere east all the way to Ohio) that have any for rent? Also, are there any particular guns that are recommended or ones to stay away from?
She would like something with an alloy frame if possible for the weight savings. She's also looking at price range around $800-850 max.
Things I've found so far are:
Ruger SR1911
Colt Defender
Springfield RO
