If I'm plunking down $3k, it's gonna be a .45. I ain't messing with finicky 9mm 1911 mags for that kinda coin.
They weren't finicky from my experiences.

What mags? My Trojan runs like the Energizer bunny on Dawson mags which are on the metalform pattern. Also GTG on Brownell's metalform pattern mag. But it utterly refuses to run with Wilson ETMs and one of the other Wilson mags that I don't remember which one it was. Nosedive city. They are also a PITA to unload since there is a tiny bit of rim on the 9mm.They weren't finicky from my experiences.

That tapered case, rim, and short length make it hard to get a 9mm 1911 to run reliably. .45 don't seem to care one way or the other once tweaked if they even need tweaking in the first place. I love my Trojan, but it's not delegated for carry duty either.
Oh man. My BADD! Totally didn't know it was a double stack. That does change things up just a wee bit!The mags that my Wilson KZ-9 came with? Made by Mecgar. You realize you're comparing apples to oranges and making assumptions? You're talking about a single stack STI not working with Wilson 9mm ETMs. This is a double stack 9mm gun built from the ground up by Wilson and uses mecgar mags too.
To your example though, I just sold a CQB in 40 that wouldn't run with metal form mags. It would run anything else, including 47ds (.45) a little trick one of my gamer buddies told me when I couldn't find any .40 1911 mags.
For three grand it needs to go C-O-L-T when you cock the hammer...
You should ban yourself for even thinking of such a travesty!Now why you gotta pick on me? I just like the looks of the thing...but I'm over it. After thinking about it, I'd feel guilty spending that kind of money on a pistol. Imagine having to use it and then watch as the PD evidence guys took it and kept it for who knows how long and when (if you ever) got it back, what it would look like, after being chucked in a safe full of Hi-points and Ravens and Lorcins and such. Eek!
