POTD: "Warren Tactical Series" 9mm Operator
Published: February 16th, 2015
T Bone sent us this photo of his “Warren Tactical Series” 9mm. He writes …
Breaking in my new “Warren Tactical Series” 9mm Operator. What the hell is that? It’s basically a Springfield MC Operator chambered in 9mm per Scott Warren’s specs. All that Springfield 1911 goodness – rails, checkering, etc without that fugly target sight crap.
Looks good. Scott, thanks for sharing.
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

I've said it before and will say it again...for 2,000 I'll buy a Glock-19, 6 magazines, a case of ammo, a nice Conceal-X kydex holster, and put the rest in the bank
A 9mm 1911 is a sweet shooting platform - don't knock it till you try it! Awesome trigger, easy recoil and your ammo budget lasts a longer if you treat it like a bullet hose. Is it for everyone? No. Will you trade in your .45 for one, No. If I only had bank for one pistol, would this be it? No. Do I want one? Hell Yeah!!!
If you search the market for a 9mm 1911 optioned like a Colt CQBP/Rail gun, SA TRP, Kimber Warrior or a Wilson CQB Elite you'll find precious little out there. You'll find guns like the Springfields Range Officer. Target sights, no front checkering, no magwell, no rail, FLGR, etc. Cheaper to get into for sure, but a lot of money to option/customize up to that feature level. Warren Tactical is doing a nice job filling the niche for a fully optioned 1911 in a cheaper-to-shoot caliber.
