Feeling like it might be time for another handgun.

Thinking I want a 1911 in a commander size in 9mm with a steel frame. Seems these things are few and far between, especially in the sub-$1,000 price range.

Looks like Rock Island offers several models but for not much more money Colt has their 1991 model as well. The 1991 is a series 80 and I am fine with that. I would probably upgrade the grip safety, the mainspring housing, and the trigger right away on the Colt but the Rock Island models I am looking at already have decent looking grip safeties, metal mainspring housings, and OK styled triggers. I was looking into Springfield Armory but it looks like their Champion series in 9mm only comes with an alloy frame.

Also, the little Walther CCP kind of intrigues me. Not sure why. Maybe the gas operated system fascinates me or something? It's about the size of the S&W Shield but is a bit wider. I doubt I'd ever carry it though and not sure how much fun it would be for a range toy.

Speaking of Walther, I've never owned a PPK either. Always thought they were kind of cool little pistols.

Of course, at one time I was wanting an HK VP9 pretty bad. That kind of passed though.

Anyhow, just sharing my thoughts I suppose.
