I’ve been tinkering with my Colt 1911 Commander and wondered if people have all gone to 9? I used to carry a 9 Glock 19, a S&W 640-1, and a colt commander. Now all I carry is my 9’s (and the 640 when I’m feeling saucy...). I’m feeling nostalgic for my 1911’s...do you carry one? Or is 9 the king now? Post pics - I need to feed my 45 envy... | ||

I have to admit I have been carrying my 9 (Shield 2.0 9mm) because the pistol is small, lite, reliable, accurate and convenient. However, I have been considering carrying my alloy frame Commander sized 1911 again. I am not concerned about the capacity, and it is super reliable, accurate, thin, ergonomic to the hand and an overall fantastic fighting gun....Plus I already have an IWB holster for it. | |||

Looking at the gun shops, .45 and .40 caliber guns and ammunition are still on the shelves. There are no 9mms to be found. | |||

I'm limited by policy, otherwise I'd be carrying a 1911 or P220 in .45 ACP. I'm not certain that a LW Commander-pattern pistol is that much more of a burden than an average mid- to full size double stack 9mm. | |||

rented a 45 couple of weeks ago ( before Range closed) been 2 years since I have shot 45 . Holes in holes ..... miss my 45s, but the recoil pulse is too much for my bad hands.... carry all 9 now at work and off. Most have left 40 and 45 for 9 ... | |||

For my last 2 retired LEO firearm qualifications I have shot my 1911 in .45acp and that’s what I carry all the time now. 308th_sps American by birth Veteran by choice Southern by the Grace of God | |||

I few years ago I minimized to 9mm, 5.56 and 12g. That is my 3 gun setup so why use anything else right? Anyway, I sold a P220 Carry, I miss that one. I got all caught in round count. | |||

As I thought I might need a few more rounds on tap during the apocalypse, I safed my .45 P220 in favor of my .40 P250. I have multiple .45s: 3 1911s 1 P320 1 P250. 2 P220s I enjoy the 9mm but it wont replace the .45 for me. End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

Not all people have gone to 9mm, but the vast majority have. While I carry a 45 now and then, a 9mm has become the choice I carry the most. | |||

My home defense pistol is a .45 ACP, as are two of my carry pistols. I really like the round. "America is at that awkward stage.

My nightstand pistol is a P250 in .45 but I carry a 9 Shield 1.0 so I haven’t abandoned the caliber. If I could pocket carry my full-sized P250 I would though. ——————————————— The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Psalm 14:1 | |||

Surprisingly all the 40’s disappeared from my LGS during the last run on guns. Even the ammo! I was amazed to find the 9mm selling for more than the 10mm. World turned upside down,lol ______________________________________________ Life is short. It’s shorter with the wrong gun… | |||

2 Colts and a Glock 21. The 21 is my Duty gun and the Colts are everything else. Hell, I even have a .45 acp cylinder for my Blackhawk. Yeah, I used to have a couple of guns. | |||

I’ve gone away from .45 as I am condensing calibers instead of having too many. 9 mm for me, although, I AM. a 10 mm lover. | |||
