I bought an STI Spartan in 9mm for training because a) All my other carry pieces are 1911s and b) I want to be able to shoot 500 rounds without discussing it with a loan officer.
John Browning’s percursor to the 1911, the Colt Model 1903 Pocket Hammerless was chambered for .32ACP. His follow-up pistol was the FN Hi-Power and was chambered in 9mm.
St. John was just fine with calibers other than the .45ACP.
I think the Colt Commander was originally a 9mm, made because the Army was talking about switching to 9mm back in the 50’s. Later, Colt made a 9mm version of every 1911 model they made, at some point. I looked at a 9mm Commanding Officers Model 15-20yrs ago, but the shop wanted too much.

It’s a ni, nin, .355 caliber pistol.
It is a Blaspheme to all that is Holy…
Sweet Leaping John Moses! A 9MM!?!
That whirring sound is JMB spinning in his grave.

What’s the Marine Corps logo doing on that thing?
9MM is meh, but why isn’t that piece cocked and locked?
It’s 1:51 PM, not 3:03 PM.
So I suppose the Browning Hi-Power does not really exist, Don, Evil, and Louis?
The BHP was originally a 9mm.
Would you want a BHP in .32 acp?

a 9MM 1911 pattern pistol WITH THE SAFETY OFF.
Here I thought it was the missing mag – my mistake.
What’s wrong with this picture is that the fine pistol is not on *my* table.
