Ever since Springfield Arms introduced the 911 .380 pistol in 2018, Springfield fans have been asking for a 9mm version. In late 2019, Springfield made those requests a reality when they introduced the Springfield 911 in 9mm. This model offered all the features and functions of the .380 version but was chambered in 9mm.
The 9mm version is currently offered in 5 configurations, including:
At the 2020 SHOT show, Springfield reps also mentioned that they have plans for additional 9mm versions to be released later in 2020.
The Springfield 911 9mm models are being shipped with one (1) 6 round flush fitting magazine, and one (1) 7 round magazine. Springfield also mentioned plans for an extended magazine with a 9-round capacity later in 2020.
In terms of comparing the .380 version to the 9mm version, the 9mm version is slightly larger (which is to be expected):
From an operational and features standpoint, the 9mm version is almost exactly the same as the .380 model, with the same sights options, and optional Viridian grip laser.
As one would expect, the 9mm version produces a snappier recoil than its .380 brother, but it’s not so much that shooters are calling it “unpleasant”. But this isn’t really designed as range gun anyway, it’s a close quarter self-defense pistol.

It’s been our experience that the .380 magazine carriers for the 911 are too small to fit the 911 9mm magazines. We do offer magazine carriers made specifically for the 9mm version, and those can be seen below as well.
Not yet, but we are working on that.
We do offer a paddle holster that is available for the Springfield 911 in 9mm, and it can be seen here:
