Any suggestions for a reliable and durable 1911, probably commander size, 9mm that does not cost a gazillion dollars. Thanks for any suggestions

These are fine firearms but may not be in your price range.

Define your price range. I have an essentially new in box Springfield EMP4 9MM in FDE that I've got listed on TGT. I wanted to shoot it suppressed and discovered the only way to do so is a custom-made threaded barrel as it has that monster bull barrel. Jarvis customs said he would do it but I'm thinking I may just go with a full size 9MM 1911 instead of the smaller size so I can do a drop-in... PM me if interested. Note you are about 40 miles from me.

I would not overlook one of these. Rock Island pistols have been good to me.

Whodathunkit? A cross between a glock and a 1911

I bought an ATI 9mm commander a couple of years ago and have carried it on the ranch all that time. I paid around $350.00 for it and bought it for rough use as I did not want to expose my custom 1911 to that kind of abuse. It has performed flawlessly during that time.

Hard to beat a regular old Browing Hi-Power if you like that 1911 build...

Wilson combat has some bad arse 9mm in the size you’re looking for. Not sure what defines a gazillion dollars though LOL. Definitely worth the look IMO.


Sierracharlie out....

In that case… It’s beat by the $649 Springfield armory SA-35.
