Don't know what tapered 9mm you are referring to ??????? but the 9mm's in my 1911's are straight and feed just fine.........if it is a real 1911 they all have single stack confused



9mms ARE tapered, though you have to look closely, but it's there. I promise.

I like 9mms, but in a 1911, it's gotta be .45 or .38 Super or 10mm. I think the extra length of the Super case makes it more reliable in a 1911 sized frame. Yes, I know current production 9mm 1911s are reliable, but I think the Super is better for the size of the frame.


I did not get my point across very well, technically speaking the 9mm does have a bit of taper but so does a 45ACP and they feed without issues in most 1911's. most of the feeding issues come from the straight case 38 Super because of the semi-rim design. Starline makes rimless brass for those with hi capacity mags to solve the problem.
As far as reliability I have had no issues with any of my 1911's
You mention a 10mm that is one I don't have, really been thinking about one in a Long Slide !!!!!!!!
