I carried a Ruger Commander size 1911 in 9mm for a couple of years. Eventually swapped to a sub compact striker fired. Even the "lightweight" 1911's get heavy over the course of a day. I do really like 1911's. I tend to make better hits more often with them. In fact I just bought another one in 9mm. But I won't EDC it. I have a P365 for that. YMMV.

TTT

The Buckmark is a fine pistol, as are the Ruger standards. I would not pass on the TX22 though. It will hold it's own against either of the previously mentioned at half the price. Amongst others I own a Ruger Standards and a Mark IV 22/45. The TX gets shot more than both Rugers combined. Additionally I wouldn't recommend a Standard or Mark series pistol, previous to the Mark IV due to damn near having to graduate gun smithing school to reassemble one. Once you know how it isn't bad, but it's not intuitive.

I'll take it for $40. PM inbound.

Sounds like a worthwhile adventure

Accurate-mag? Is that the AICS format and who made it, please?

one last bump before i pull this one down.

withdrawn from sale. i'll just keep it.

Safety Reminder for Buyers and Sellers This is an automatic reply meant to protect you as a buyer and a seller on TGO. Use the Buyer/Seller Feedback feature to research who you are dealing with. Please come back and leave feedback for each other after the transaction is complete. Your experience will help others. Never agree to use an electronic form of payment to buy or sell a gun!

As an instructor, I’d like to offer some other advice. One, you seem to be jumping into everything simultaneously. For a lot of people doing so leads to frustration and or burn out. Instead figure out your priorities and start there. From your other posts, my first recommendation would be training; preferably even before buying your first gun. That way you’ll base your decisions on experience and not conjecture. Additionally, it’s often not the best idea to try to teach a spouse to shoot. More often than not it goes as terribly as a parent teaching their teenager to drive. There’s too much ego and emotional baggage attached to have consistently good outcomes. (In fact, I have a belief that the ability to learn from or teach something to a person ceases once anyone has seen the other naked in any context.) In summary, find a local range that has qualified instructors (MIL/LEO, USCCA, or Rangemaster preferred. NRA doesn’t cut it for me and I am one) and preferably a rental section to try out multiple types and work from there. Lastly, especially for the wife, it doesn’t have to be all at once. You get much better long term results doing short, regular sessions than you do with long, all encompassing, one hit wonders. A date night range trip or private lesson followed by a dinner out every couple weeks goes a long way for a lot of people.

I smell a troll

Sorry folks just realized my DA put this stock in the wrong category

I think ARs are a great HD choice. Good capacity, accuracy, plentiful and affordable accessories and ammo. The light round and high velocity actually make them among the least likely to over penetrate barriers (they have a tendency to fragment). I choose the standard 5.56 ball round for consistency’s sake. The round I train with will have the exact performance as the one I’d use in real life. Plus its lower cost is a nice bonus, as is the previously mentioned .22 conversions. I recommend putting a white light, a sling, and a red dot on a Smith & Wesson M&P and calling it good I’m not a hunter, but I have friends who use 5.56 ARs to take deer, and they are commonly used for coyotes and boar as well. Unless there’s other things afoot, you have no reason to be concerned about the alphabet boys for having an AR.

I think if you like a 9mm 1911, and you shoot one well, then go for it. I’ve never owned one or shot one, only .45s. I owned, but never carried a 1911, except in the Army. I like shooting them, but they are just too big for me. I owned one now. But I’m a Glock guy (there I said it). That’s what I’ve moved too and what I carry, other than a Ruger LCP Max and a S&W 442.
