1911’s in general, 9mm versions specifically

Anyone know how bad or good this thing is? Flashlight is $350 new...

As an amateur handgun shooter wanting to get better, I bought a brand new double stack B9R last year for $600 as my first 9mm 1911 and it quickly became my favorite pistol, that I also shot the best. Mine has had 2-3 malfunctions in 1500ish rounds, but has been better since replacing the extractor. For someone looking for a budget 2011 to practice with, I would recommend it.

Tisas used to make (and might still) double stack lowers if you don't want the homemade stipple grip.

Be warned though, that poor-man's 2011 convinced me that a staccato was worth it and somewhere in my future...

From the pic looks like a double stack pull the magazine, very easy to tell.

Yeah did more looking at it seems like online they are double. Didn't drop the mag in the store. Just assumed it'd be double. Then saw one report it was single.

That is a 2011. And there is no getting a Staccato without buying a Staccato.

I'll get a cup out of a bra and wear it as a hat into the pawn shop tomorrow and see if I can get a better price

Want a staccato without paying $2700

Other than getting a Staccato secondhand, your other options for 'nearly a Staccato but not a Staccato' might be a Kimber 2K11 or a Bul Armoury SAS.
