Why The Hell the 9mm 1911?

My 9mm SA 1911 shoots really well.

Why the Hell the 9mm 1911?

Great gun, but i’ll stick to my large capacity 9mm’s and keep the 1911 in .45

Why not? If I had crap tons of money I’d buy one but since I have to make justifiable firearms purchases I agree with Ford. In reality I’m not a big fan of the caliber. While I have a couple, each of which suits a specific purpose, I don’t see myself buying any more 9MMs.

I need to get another 9mm 1911 to dedicate my 9x23 Winchester components to.

If I were to use a 1911 as an EDC, then I would go with the 9mm simply for the added capacity. If I'm mainly using it as a range toy and BBQ gun, then I would go with the .45 acp. I'm a bit of a purist and I like the classic feeling of firing 230 gr ball ammo through a 1911. I'm sure the 9mm 1911's can be fun at the range, but I like using higher-capacity guns to plink with and I already have a few 9mm's that are my go-to range guns. I'm sure I would feel differently if I lived in a state with magazine capacity restrictions.
