Thst moved to the top spot I think. In my mind that’s about where I’d be total in my little project. But this may be a one stop shop and add slowly as I go. Hitting some shops up today and tomorrow. Hoping to have one bought or ordered by tomorrow night

I'm curious, you looking toward stainless or blue? I really like the look of the blue better, but the stainless would be more forgiving to modification without having to cerakote.

Not too picky. Stainless is kind of my thing but figured it would be too pricey to want to mess with and hadn’t really considered one.

Why not buy a unfinished frame, and slide, find them on sale. Then put it all together or have someone do it. It might take a year to find it all at a sale price, but you'll have what you want. Just takes patience.

This might make a good start on a project pistol.

I know churchmouse had worked on a couple of those and they ended up being pretty solid guns.

I had a Loaded Lightweight but in 45acp not 9mm and it had a noticeable increase in recoil impulse but it wasn't bad. I doubt a 9mm would be bad at all.

I am not an expert but I have a keyboard.

Pretty much what BC said, maybe a little difference in a 45 but not much in a 9 - all things being equal. I think I kinda prefer a 4.25" 9mm and maybe a 5" in 45 BUT looks-wise - its a Commander sized 1911 in ANY caliber.

I'd lean towards that SS Springer posted above....but all solid choices.

We ain't playing with soda cans here....these are firearms!

Ok...yea...maybe the last gun I bought had an aluminum frame but it is special aluminum...

So I'm hear to tell you that the Springer 9mm that Norm posted a picture of was already gone when I went in there today. Not surprising at the price they had it listed at.

I had a Loaded Lightweight but in 45acp not 9mm and it had a noticeable increase in recoil impulse but it wasn't bad. I doubt a 9mm would be bad at all.

I've shot 45acp 230gr a lot, I shot 147gr 9mm a lot, as well as 124gr. I really don't notice much difference between the two.
I do shoot a lot of full power 10mm, and 44mag. Maybe I'm just used to the recoil from those and don't notice it as much with the 45acp.

Off subject a little.
I learned something over the years. I have a very strong grip, and I found I was over gripping if that's a thing. I found that when I put less grip on the handguns I shot more accurately.
Why would that be?
