Talked to a shop owner in the littleton mills yesterday. He said it seemed like manufacturing was catching up a bit on 9mm. Easier to get shipments and stay in stock. Hope that is the case.

I couldn't give my Springfield RO 1911 in 9mm away a couple months ago.Dude, I can't find a nice 1911 to save my life.
I spent all afternoon yesterday combing gun stores and all they had were RIA and some Turkish made guns (Tilas, I think).
The SDS imports Turk stuff is actually okay, at least the fitment doesn't appear totally shitty. Granted, these are basic guns. If you want something nice and have more dough you should hold out for something better. RIA can vary from OK to "meh" definitely don't buy without putting hands on the thing first.
Krapber you can forget about. (Plant was closed too long dur to rona, they're waaaay behind. ) SA you have a better chance....I'm trying to find something from Springfield Armory or Kimber.
Are you still giving it away?I couldn't give my Springfield RO 1911 in 9mm away a couple months ago.
It's the inbred cousin of the Browning family when a 1911 and Hi-Power got a little too friendly after a batch of Hoppes 9.A 1911 in 9mm........its just sad thats all I can say really. Like buying a mustang but getting it with a 4 cylinder.........just plain sad.
P.S. This is just my opinion and I am sure many will disagree but I just don't care really.
Stick with Springfield Armory. Kimbers are caviar pricing for canned Tuna quality.I'm trying to find something from Springfield Armory or Kimber.

As someone who is actively engaged in what I call "Gun Babysitting" with 5 different semi-newbs, no, they're not. Well, one of them actually is, when I send him something useful to
watch. He actually has his head in the game in the right place..... Actually he doesn't even count because he's not really a full on newb. The rest of them are like the people in this
video...

Look on the bright side.Just saw this today. Irony? Sarcasm? Sad? ...
You try 4seasons?Dude, I can't find a nice 1911 to save my life.

What's wrong with a RIA?You try 4seasons?
You try 4seasons?
Nothing. They shoot for the most part with good mags. Good for rough carry, truck gun, not too expensive to bang around with.What's wrong with a RIA?
A lotta bang for the buck if you ask me, which I know you didn't, but figured I'd offer my $ .02.
I have a loaded 4", Kimber, 9mm, 1911 and a 5"', stainless Sprinfield Armory, 9mm. I like them both, but as you know, i like the big stuff too.A 1911 in 9mm........its just sad thats all I can say really. Like buying a mustang but getting it with a 4 cylinder.........just plain sad.

Why are you laughing??.....it's clearly the best gun shop in the state....
I've had both Kimber's and Springfield Armory for years now. Kimbers are definately a cut above, for minimally higher cost.It's the inbred cousin of the Browning family when a 1911 and Hi-Power got a little too friendly after a batch of Hoppes 9.

Ha Dr Grant I know you dislike the deli ticket emporium but they are one of the few shops I've come across that actually still stock their shelves. The last 3 ffls's I visited looked like they were out of business. Worth a try if this guy has been looking so hard.

Deli Ticket Emporium (DTE), if anyone needs translationThat's great but that's not going to help him get a decent 1911. RIGHT NOW. Going to DTE is going to limit him to the smallest pool of available choices and going to expose him to the largest pool of competing buyers. The guy looking for a 1911 is better off running out of band and using gunbroker or other tools to find the gun he wants from (Wherever) and getting it to a dealer that can help him transfer it.
Fortunately I saw this coming a long long time ago.
Walmart and Bass Pro are getting target loads regularly, they just leave the shelves as fast as they appear. Their pricing is also somewhat normal if you're willing to check the store multiple times per week eventually you'll find something.
Hey you’re not wrong- but the guy claims he’s running around ffl to ffl like my overweight neighbor was on their toilet paper hunt last april.That's great but that's not going to help him get a decent 1911.
