I may have caught the 9mm 1911 bug (again). This will not be a safe queen but a 1000 rd a month match pistol. I had a Colt Competition and sold it, might end up with another, don't know yet.
Which one would you look at? I don't have a budget in mind, but I want one where I don't worry if it gets scuffed up, so the really high end 1911's are out (for me anyway).
I have looked at every 1911 out there that I know of and never seem to see one outfitted just like I want. I hate to completely change a higher dollar pistol.
Here's what I'm looking for:
Novak cuts in the slide, not Bomar style rear slide cuts. (fiber front sight, low profile rear)
Blued or stainless.
Undercut trigger guard.
Must be interchangeable with other 1911 parts, which I think rules out Sigs.
Upswept beavertail
No rail
I can change the mainspring housing/ mag well easily enough, and the thumb safety.
Ideas welcome.
