She likes the weight because it tames the recoil. She is willing to try some other guns out, it's fitting in a trip to a rental range that has what she wants to try that is tricky. We're about 2 hours northwest of Austin.

She has a Star BM now. While it has been reliable, and she doesn't shoot enough to wear it out, I would like her to have a higher-quality pistol at hand. I have a Hi Power I thought I might have hard chromed for her, but she doesn't like the width of the double-stack mag. My Combat Commander fits ok except for being a 45 and she prefers the recoil of the 9mm.
We're looking at a new Kimber Pro Carry II in stainless, and will probably go that way if a used gun doesn't show up.

Thanks!
Jeff

Edited to add; Ordered a Kimber and will post a review in the appropriate forum once we've wrung it out a little.
Thanks, everyone!

I'm looking for a Commander-sized 1911 in 9mm. Stainless steel is my first option, hard chrome would probably work. It will spend long periods of time locked in Dear Sweet Wife's car or carried in her purse, and the pistol she has now gets rust faster than I remember to clean it.
In Central Texas but willing to travel for a purchase.

Thanks!
Jeff
