I agree that it's been the last bunch of years that a bunch of manufacturers got in game of 1911's chambered for 9mm. In my opinion, it should have been sooner. They are simply enjoyable. The 1911 trigger and just the feel of a 1911 in your hand is exactly like it has always been, this pistol just has a totally different recoil impulse and is enjoyable.

I suppose for me, the question is not why are they making them but it is "WHY did it take so darn long until all these guys started making them?!"
