Just saw in Front Sight today that Springfield is releasing the range offier in 9MM. Probably be a fun steel gun light recoil due to the weight and load it down to duck fart loads it would be like shooting a 22 here is the page

It came out a little over a month ago. I have 1 gun to pick up once my permits come in, the 9mm RO will be 30 days after that.

I have a 9mm Kimber.

 

9mm in a 1911 platform is a recipe for a great time. Like you said, heavy gun with moderate loads so seriously minimizes recoil that it feels like cheating. Mine happens to be ridiculously accurate as well. Good luck with it and have a ball.

I have the 45 version. Great gun. I can see the 9mm being fun to shoot. Dare I say I get a 9 to match the 45

I have a 9mm Dan Wesson Guardian which is fun to shoot. Come to think of it, I need to take it out shooting soon as it's been in my safe hiding.

I am currently wanting a 2011 in 9mm (iron sights)

I have a STI Spartan and it is a great gun for steel. I hope Springfield gets the mags right, if not Dawson and Tripp mags seem to work for me and others have had luck with Wilson's. I have a few Wilson's and some work others not so much. They seem to nose dive much more than the Dawsons.

I was torn between a 9mm RO or a STI. Still deciding

I love my Dan Wesson PM9, great gun!

Exactly what I'm doing. Ordered the same grips, sights, etc. Just hope it runs as good as my S&W 9mm 1911.

My springfield loaded in 9MM uses metaform mags from springfield -- 9 rnds -- they run well -- I guess springfield doesn't make their own mags -- at least in 9mm

 

 from what I understand Dawson's are tuned metaform mags with a different base plate making them 10 rnd mags -- they also run well
