S&W 1911 in 9mm?

[ShrinkMD]

I saw this mentioned somewhere under rumors of what they are planning for 2009. Has anyone heard any more about this, or is it just vaporware?

I think we would all enjoy more 1911 trigger time at 9mm prices...

Sgt Preston here. Springfield Armory offers a 1911 in 9mm. It's one of their "loaded series" of 1911 pistols. It SS & comes with an adjustable "target" sight, a 2 piece guide rod & a list of goodies. I owned it 45ACP twin brother & a friend of mine had the 9mm. Both guns were excellent. I hope that S&W puts onre on the market, because I'll certainely consider buying one. Sgt Preston USMC LLA.

Not just a rumor. See this thread:

I have 2 of these Springfields. Nice guns. One is a target model (adjustable sights). The other has Novak sights. Took about a year to actually find one locally. I happened upon the target version in a local shop and let it sit for about 2 weeks before deciding to grab it for a little over $800. A few months later, I happened upon the fixed sighted gun that was considerably older but in LN shape, so I picked that one up to. I'd love to see S&W come out with one. I done with 1911s for now. A S&W marked one would cause me to rethink that.

Any idea on how many rounds the S&W will hold? Same weight/dimensions as a regular .45?

Sounds interesting...

 

[SouthpawShootr]

These things are typically 9 or 10 round mags, assuming full size government frame.

Any news on price range or options?

My new Wilson ETM and Metalform 9mm mags hold 10 rds and work reliably in my 9mm Kimber--but I will def buy a 9mm Smith 1911 if/when available--dmd

Just imagine--a factory bob-tail alloy/stainless 9mm commander 4.25" w/o FPS from Smith--now wouldn't that be super sweet!! Or visualize a 9mm "Gunsite" edition-- dmd

Any 'Gunsite Edition' 1911 in 9mm is anathema.

I hope they do build it ... I have 3 Colts and a Wilson in 9mm and would love a S&W. 9mm 1911;s are just fun.

Seems to me that a full-house capable 10mm would be a better choice... Maybe that's just my hand-cannon side speaking.
