A Mini 1911

The only "mini 1911", in 9mm, that I have ever seen run reliably, is a Colt Defender. I am looking forward to Jeppo running his small 1911 in 45, to see what his experience is. The smith 9mm version has some good reviews. But it is priced VERY optimistically.

Another sub 4 inch 1911 that has shown promise is the Sig C3. In 45. An aquaintance recently purchased a 9mm C3. He has only run 200 rounds through it, but so far, so good. ;)

Short 1911s in 45 are a crapshoot. Other than the Colt Defender, some run well and most don't. In 9mm the situation is worse. The majority I have seen, belonging to customers, don't run reliably. They are finicky about ammo AND magazines.

I would not run out and buy this new example. Unless I wanted to be a beta tester. ;) Regards 18DAI
