9 mm Commander what are your options? 5" Government or 3.5" Officers frame are your options.... While I'm sure someone makes a Commander it's going to a higher dollar maker such as Kimber or better.... Nothing hard about shooting a .45 ACP in Commander frame at all; its got to be one of my favorite setups out of the entire 1911 family. Points the absolute best in the hand and recoil is just a big soft push...

get an Armscor made Legacy imported Citadel in 9mm.  Or get a 9mm 1911 custom made by some private maker.  Anything else other than an Armscor made 9mm 1911 is gilding the lily.

I have a Rock Island GI in 9mm. It's fun, accurate, and was reasonably priced. The only flaw is that its GI sights are hard for me, so I'm getting some hi-viz put on it.

I have two Citadels one 5" in .45 and a compact in 9mm both are very well fitted guns for their price point; they are made by Arnscor as you pointed out the same company that puts on the Rock Island Armory... Citadels have a higher level of fit and finish than a RIA

STI should have several models of 9mm commander sized 1911/2011

Im sure Wilson Combat or Nighthawk Custom would be happy to build you one.

I think Rock Island Armory makes one or two, not sure.

I just saw that Para is releasing their Black Ops Recon in 9mm that would be a Commander in 9mm although a double stack 18+1

Quick Gunbroker  search for "9mm commander" yields Colt, STI, Kimber and "Republic Forge" http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=429638548.

IMHO it'd be hard to beat a Colt Combat Commander chambered in 9mm.

I was looking at a 9mm rock island a4 1911. Looked really good and doesnt have the crappy a1 sights. Then I finally found my R350cr and now I am dying inside. I can afford both, but I dont want to spend that much.

Crap I just looked at that on gun broker then searched for 1911 Commander 9mm.......now I want a colt........Thanks man!

I have two .45 acp Commanders and they are fine pistols.  I'm sure a 9 mm Commander would be a nice pistol.

If they are within your budget, I would suggest Dan Wesson or Fusion Firearms.

For what it's worth, Republic Forge is our very own Jeff Meister's post Hero Gear venture.

That's sure the route I'd go!

That sure is good to know! Ill have to keep that in mind.

If I ever get back into the 1911 world, a Dan Wesson 9mm Guardian is a top contender.

Except for the sights and grips, it's as if DW asked me what my perfect 1911 would be.
