Long story short, looking for a 1911 for my wife to shoot and feel comfortable carrying around while we are hunting. I have a Ruger SR1911 full size in .45. She shoots it great, just cant rack the slide unless she holds it super close to her body. This in turn makes her and I uncomfortable. We tried about 15 different models this weekend and didnt find one in .45 that she can do with it pointed away from her. There were plenty of 9mm 1911s that she had no problem with. For comparison she can rack a Glock 41 with no issues. But it isvway too big for her hands. Wants to stay full size to better manage the recoil.
Haven't tried the Remington yet. Is there an easy to rack .45 full size 1911 without custom work?
Other thought is to sell/trade my Ruger .45 and ammo and get 2 9mm 1911s. Are the 9mm reliable as the .45? Dont want to argue ballistics. We are talking shooting targets. This would also keep our caliber stocks down.
Sorry so wordy! Thanks in advance.
