Willhud- In the price point of $400 Rock Island is it. As I stated, it is a very good quality 1911. I have also heard great things about their customer service, thankfully I have never had to use it. Search the forum on previous posts about Rock Island, I think you will find the overwhelming consensus is positive. As to a Colt, the last 1911's they made in 9mm was the 70 or 80 series. If you can find one of them you will pay much more than what your wanting. I have to agree with several other posts on the .22LR pistol, unless you are just absolutely wanting a 1911 .22 I would also go with a Ruger. It's not an identical copy of a 1911 but the grip angle is close enough to a 1911 that it will provide a good feel of one. Lastly, as to a 9mm or .45; 9mm all the way. Unless you reload the 9mm ammo is much cheaper to shoot than .45, it still provides great self defense capabilities, is more pleasant to shoot at the range due to recoil, etc. Hope that helps, Good Luck.
