Got to stay away from gun shows

[yqtszhj]

I’ve got to stay away from gun shows. Got a good deal on this one. Been looking for a while.
NIB SR1911 9mm Lightweight Officers Model.
Specs say it only holds 7 rounds in the flush mag but actually holds 8 and almost room for 9. Bet I can find some 9 rounders just barely longer than flush at Wilson Combat. Got to try and shoot it next week maybe weather permitting.

Good find!

I've been looking at the Commander version of that. Looks exactly the same far as the slide serrations and stuff. Haven't found one to hold yet. Still trying to hold out for my Sig P210 Target.

Nice find! I do love me some occifer sized 1911’s. I’m sure you are already aware that these exist...I put a full/government sized mag in one of my compacts by using one of the X-Grip magazine adapters. Doubt that I’d ever carry this one, but it extends capacity an sure makes for a comfy grip as well.

Thanks, I was looking at that very setup and it’s good to have a picture as a reference.

I was thinking about the commander too over the Compact model but when I saw it and it held 8 rounds I had to get it. The grip length difference between it and my Commander 45 will make it really concealable too.

Now to find some more mags......

Nice find...…………………..that's why I haven't been to a gun show in a while. Just like going to the Humane Society. You're going to come home with something you didn't need...………………………………………...

It's officer sized frame and it still holds 8 rounds with a flush magazine?

You can put 7 .45 ACP in some flush fit, Officers/compact magazines, so 8 in a 9 mini-me, flush fit mag seems plausible to me.

I keep going back and forth on 1911's. I just have never warmed up to them. They are so cool though.

[340pd]

Sold my last one, an Ed Brown Kobra Carry, because nobody in my immediate family has an appreciation for a hard to field strip $2000+ gun and when I tip over, it would have been left very lonely.
Miss it from time to time but plenty of others that are much more user friendly to play with that will go to a good home someday.

I forget if it was a Wilson or Kim Pro, but I once had an occifer sized mag that fit 8 in it. Had one of those rubber baby buggy bumpers on the bottom, so semi-flush, but not exactly. Sold it with the gun I got it with, but wish I had kept it. Have not found once since, hence the X-Grip.

I'll be wearing a 1911 when they nail the lid shut, can't decide which one but think I got a little time to make a choice.
I personally can't hardly see carrying anything else. John Moses got it right over a 100 years ago and it's still perfect.

Yeah it holds an easy 8 and almost 9 (9 goes half way in), of course as Greg stated it is a 9mm not a .45.

Saw some 8 round Sig 9mm 1911 compact mags with 6 witness holes that state they hold 8 and look just like mine so I bet they are the same as Ruger mags (and only 20 bucks.)

[Bawanna]

Oh heck, that didn't compute 9mm. Makes perfect sense now. The commander I was looking at was also 9 so not sure why I wasn't getting it. Guess when I see 1911, I see 45..................duh.

If you want 9 or 10 round magazines for Officer size 9mm pistols, Wilson Combat makes some. I have their 500-9C9 9 round mags which shoot fine in my Dan Wesson ECO. I think I bought them when they had just been introduced and they had a slight problem. Once loaded, it was difficult to manually unload the top 2 or 3 rounds by pushing cartridges forward and it was necessary to raise the nosed-dived tips with a screwdriver. I fixed this by beveling the front of the mag which the bullets would strike and it works now. They are longer than the previous Wilson 8 round mags by about 3/16". They are longer than the GI style 8 round mags that came with the pistol by about 3/8". On their website, wilsoncombat.com, they refer to Officers model pistols as "compact".

Very nice!
