I've got the 45acp version and love it.I have a Springfield Armory Ronin in 9mm. For a relatively inexpensive 1911 it works and is fun. It is not as refined as my Wilsons, but it is a lot less money to shoot.

+1 on the Dan Wesson. I have the Guardian, and it has been perfect from the get go.I've been VERY happy with my 9mm Dan Wesson. Less so with my .45 Kimber as it took almost 1500 rounds before it wore in to be reliable.

My goal is to get one of each of Springfield Ronin in 10mm have the 45acp and 9mm to own the set of government size 1911's in that line.I'm looking into getting my first 1911 in 9mm. I love the 1911 platform, but I'm also open to the 2011. I'm differently looking at a government size.
Right now I'm looking the most at the Kimber Rapide Dawn.
Budget, I would like to be around $2,500 max.
What kind of opinions do you all have?

If you get a Ronin you'll love it.
As the old coouts that love 1911s get older..(me included) I think you will see alot more 1911s in 9mm. I have a all steel government 1911 in 9mm that shoots as soft as a BB Gun. For aging hands wrists and elbows its a great choice. Like having your cake and shooting it too.1911 in 9mm? Easy JMB, rest easy. It is a passing fad.
I was going to say, Get your 45 caliber in the 1911, and your 9mm in the Beretta 921911 in 9mm? Easy JMB, rest easy. It is a passing fad.
InterestingI'm lost, I've looked at everything and ended up in a rabbit hole looking at the 92XI then stumbled across this... Very interesting to me. What you all think?

It’ll be very large for CC if that’s still your intent. It’s a competition level pistol built to be a cross between a 1911 and a CZ. CZ owns Dan Wesson btw. And this is a merge of the two, 1911 with a CZ style grip. I’m a big fan of both the 1911 and CZ. I own both and I think I like the CZ grip a little bit better. For the money, I’d look at the CZ Shadow 2 Orange. But either way It’d be a fantastic range gun.I'm lost, I've looked at everything and ended up in a rabbit hole looking at the 92XI then stumbled across this... Very interesting to me.

@bsmithg19 or contact AllenM and see what he can build you in your budget. His work is legendary.Interesting
I mean you could, but that sure is not going to be comfortable. I should state that I will continue to carry my G19 a majority of the time, but I love SA hammer guns. I guess by me saying I would carry it sometimes I was justifying spending that much on a pistol because it would be used often, but the reality is that it probably won't be. I just want to buy something nice for myself lol.That's defiantly not a carry gun...if that's what your looking for
