Anyone Have the New Ruger SR1911 Full Size 9mm?

I am very close to ordering the Ruger 6759, the 5" All Stainless SR1911 Target chambered in 9mm.

Just looking for owners thoughts and any range observations. A full size all steel 9mm 1911 has been on my bucket list for a long time. I am very happy with my Full Size SR1911-45 so I thought the matching 9mm was a no-brainer.
Thanks

I have the SR1911 in 10mm. LOVE IT! Shoots & handles great. Well over 1200 rounds so far. The 9mm should also be a great gun.
No problems with

New & reloads.

For those with recoil sensitivity issues, that all steel frame should be about as mild as a .22. I've had a Series 70 Colt Gov't Model for many years that's about the lightest recoiling auto I've ever shot. Good for breaking in new shooters. How's the accuracy in that Ruger?

I ordered my SR1911-9MM Today. I ordered the 5" all steel frame pistol, to match up with my 5" SR1911 45. I have wanted a 9mm 1911 for a long time, just for a plinker. This one should be pretty good for that.

I’d highly recommend these accessories for a full size 9mm 1911;

#614G13 Wilson Combat 13lb Flat Wire Recoil Spring (FWRS)

#25GRFW Wilson Combat Full Length Guiderod with plug for FWRS (needed since the I.D. on a FWRS is smaller (@.250”) than a roundwire recoil spring.

#500-9 Wilson Combat Elite Tactical Magazines (ETMs) 10 rds., 9mm

I have this setup on my 9mm STI Trojan and it’s worth every penny for a full-size 9mm 1911.
