So, I took my daughter who just turned 21 to the local gun show. There were hardly any actual gun dealers there, but she zoned in on a RIA 9mm 1911. I tried to talk her into a .45 cal, but she has shot mine and does not like the recoil. I tried to tell her that the recoil would not be significantly less on the 9mm version due to the lighter weight, but she is convinced she needs this particular gun. Does anyone have any opinions on this gun that can convince her to look at something else, Or, can you convince me that this is a good option?
Full disclosure: I have never been a big fan of the 1911 platform, but it is growing on me. My early experience was with the Marines and their issue weapons were very badly shot out. I currently have a PT 1911, which is ok, but It really doesn't impress me all that much, but the price was right for a safe queen.
