1911’s in general, 9mm versions specifically

Yeah you have to be careful with Optics Planet. If it doesn't explicitly say "In stock" on the product page, then don't buy from them. Their shipping estimates for the most part are meaningless. Unless you're willing to wait, if it wasn't in stock when you purchased I would just cancel and order from somewhere else. No telling when it will actually be shipped.

+1 to this.

Read the entire thread finally. I have a few 1911 45s that I enjoy and carry a guardian at times. Ready for a 9mm version. Not interested in a double stack currently.

What’s the verdict on the recommendation currently after everyone has seemed to either dabble or go full retard ? I usually stay in the full retard category I’m a lefty and have fit my own ambis without issue.

For 9mm: I deduct McGar or Tripp mags, heavier recoil springs, basic extractor tuning, and hot ammo.

Which 1911 safeties do you find the most lefty-friendly? I'm not sure I've yet seen an 'ambi' safety that was actually as curved and angled/blended/melted on the right side as much as the left. Some are bearable (Bul) while others have sharp 90 degree angles and go right back to the grip, and eat up my firing hand, making them nearly impossible to shoot (such as Tisas).
