If you were choosing between these guns, which would you choose and why?
SA EMP 9mm
SA Stainless Loaded 9mm 1911/target sights
SA Parkerized Loaded .45 1911/Night sights

I realize that the cost of these guns is slightly different, but that isn't the main concern. I already have all the guns I "need." This one is a prize gun.

EMP: I can carry it, and use it as a demo gun when I teach a concealed carry class.
Stainless 9mm: I can shoot it in matches, and it may help me win another gun. (reinvestment) I already have a fixed sight 9mm.
.45: I already have one just like this, but this one may be the easiest to unload as trade bait.

I can't really decide, so if you have any thoughts on the subject, fire away. Thanks.

Stainless 9mm: I can shoot it in matches, and it may help me win another gun. (reinvestment) I already have a fixed sight 9mm. put target sights on your other one and shoot that one in matches



.45: I already have one just like this, but this one may be the easiest to unload as trade bait. you already have one, why buy another

None, get a Glock 19...

Seriously, I love the 1911 in 9mm and I love stainless. Unless I had a need for the one of the others, option 2 would be my choice.

of the 3, i would say the EMP.
IMO It's fit much better than the Loaded's.
You could also write it off as a business expense if you use it for teaching CHL classes.

the 9mm Loaded is nice, but some changes were needed, such as the barrel bushing.  the barrel to bushing fit was loose.  i swapped it out for a Ed Brown bushing and it's much better now.
also swapped out the hammer/sear/disconnector with a C&S Super Match kit.  for less money, you could get the STI SPartan in 9mm, or for a little more you could get the Trojan.  reason why i didn't buy a Trojan was because i got a great deal on this.  if i were to pay current market price, i would've bought the Trojan. also since you have a 9mm with fixed sights, the only difference would be the adjustable rear.

don't see much value for you in getting the .45, since you have one and are looking at it as possible trade bait.


Here's 2 of the 3 you listed.

EMP, Why?

45 I have enough, well not really.

I'd opt for the EMP as I've got plenty of other 1911's in .45
