Overall, it's a good little pistol that has a lot to offer the person that's interested. We got to shoot the Springfield 911 9mm at SHOT Show, so we will include both the shooting aspect and otherwise in this Springfield 911 9mm review. Granted, Kimber's bottom dollar is right on the 911's heels and Sig Sauer isn't too far behind, so unless the in-store prices are lower because 'Springfield' is on the slide rather than 'Kimber' or 'Sig Sauer' - and that is totally possible - this gun has some stiff competition. MSRP starts at $639 for the basic black model, $659 for the models with G10 grips and $849 for the laser-equipped models. There are also two models with Viridian laser grips, one with a black slide and one with stainless. Grips are either G10 or Hogue wraparound rubber grips, and the grip has checkering for a bit of traction. You have your choice of black nitride finish or stainless steel for the slide. The sights are basically micro combat sights, and are dovetailed into the slide.Īll models feature a chevron slide cut and a black anodized aluminum frame. Sights are Pro-Glo tritium/luminescent on the front and white-outlined tritium night sight dots on the rear. It's a lot smaller than most 9mm 1911 pistols Unloaded weight is 15.3 ounces, and the pistol holds 6+1 rounds of 9mm with the flush-fit magazine or 7+1 with the extended magazine. The pistol is 3.9 inches tall (with flush-fit magazine) by 5.9 inches in length by 1.1 inches wide at the controls. The barrel is 3 inches long, with a black nitride coating or in stainless steel depending on the model you choose, and a 1-in-16 twist rate. Now for the tale of the tape, with the Springfield 911 9mm specifications. We understand the format small single-action pistol, but without the grip safety that a compact 1911 like an Officer frame would have, just like the Sig P938 or Kimber Micro 9. So, the Springfield 911 is just basically Springfield's version of that. 380 1911 of their own (the Sig P238) decided to follow suit and released the Sig Sauer P938, which also happens to be a quite popular gun with our customers judging by holster sales. Beef up the frame a bit, get a bigger barrel and presto! And it was a success, too Kimber Micro holsters are some of our best-sellers here at Alien Gear Holsters. 380, which is actually one of the better pocket pistols out there, but so much for that.Īnyhow, Kimber had the bright idea a few years ago to make a slightly bigger version of their micro 1911 pistol - the Kimber Micro - in 9mm. The Springfield 911 is a slightly up-scaled version of the Colt Mustang, a micro 1911 pistol that Colt devised more than a decade ago.
