  1. Hey fellas,any one here ever feel under gunned by carrying a 5 shot or 6 shot revolver instead of a Semi-Auto.I am considering going to a 2 or 3 inch barrel revolver in either a .38 Special or .357 Mag for my daily carry pistol.I guess I am getting tired of having to always have spare mags,is the pistol going to work right just when I need it,and the weight of the whole darn rig is also becoming bothersome.I have been wearing a Taurus 85 in a Blackhawk holster for the last day or 2 and it sure is a lot easier on the waist and ribs than my EMP.Not to mention I have kept a Bianchi Speed Strip in my off side pocket with extra rounds and barely notice its there.What say the collective,has anyone else switched from the Semi-Auto scene to the wheelgun .I am loaded with 129gr Federal Hydra Shock in +p.I think it would be a fairly decent BG round,of coarse I could be wrong also. This is the little jewel I am talking about,complete with porting,shoots darn nice.
  2. I would imagine they are filling a void by offering smaller concealable pistols for those of us that feel a need to carry one on a daily basis.I know I sure wouldnt carry around a full size 1911 for a real long time without whining a lot.
  3. I have recently(like the last couple of weeks)carried OWB but concealed and have to admit its a lot more comfortable with a certain body make up than others.I have a very short torso and this always puts the butt of my EMP into my lower ribs which gets very annoying,so lately I have been using a Desantis Mini Slide for carry.Anyone else running into this abnophenom(my own personal description)for lack of a better word,rib ache.Anyone here ever run into any problems with staying under the radar wearing an outside holster.I always wear a shirt over this set up as not to alarm the 911 phobics(Oh My God I Broke A Nail)should I call.Have any of you converted over to this type of carry or possibly have always ran OWB.Inquiring minds want to know.

    It would make a good weight at the bottom of an aquarium to hold the plants down,only if it didnt poison the fish that is.
  5. I had one just like that about 15 years ago,they are good shooting rifles.Enjoy.
  6. Every one of these is 100%-gotta love the 1911(Well I do anyways)
  7. Thats a good little read,I agree that when a manufacturer says to run 500 rounds thru the pistol to break it in is just a way of saying that they didnt make sure it fired correctly right from the factory.After all who has the time and extra money to spend breaking in a pistol that already put your bank statement into a deficit.For the cost of the ammo some pistols arent as expensive as the ammo would be.
  8. I had one awhile back for a Smith J frame in the Minituck by crossbreed.I think its worth your while looking into one.I think you can pick one up from their site for under $100.00,I liked mine but I sold the 638 so I also sold the holster.For my use I prefer the Crossbreed Supertuck the most for both my 1911,s that I carry.
  9. Nice looking little piece,post a range report after you get a chance to dirty it.I had a Para LTC single stack that had a very good trigger and never missed a beat.A friend wanted to trade me his Kimber SSS model and I couldnt say no,I would still have it if it were not for the trade,I really liked mine.Congrats.
  10. You know things are bad when you cant afford to pay attention
  11. And soon the sickness shall begin,there is no known cure.Resistance is futile.I know(I am a member of the club) WARNING:ONLY THOSE WITH WILL POWER MUST VIEW(I dont)
  12. Nice Smith,one day I will have to look into one like that.
  13. They are definately shooters.I have had mine for quite a few months now and a few hundred rounds downrange and I still cant find anything wrong with it(are they supposed to be this good for not much money).
  14. The Winchester is indeed brass,I have used it in all the calibers and its decent ammo.The HP in .45ACP doesnt like to feed in the shorter barrels but my 5 inch 1911's it does fine.The FMJ feeds in everything I have.
  15. Man,that looks good,I have trouble carving a turkey let alone leather.:rolleyes:
  16. I use Remington Golden Saber 180gr in my 3 inch Springer EMP.I think the short barrel ammo is manufactured with a powder that has less flash when fired in a dark room.I really dont worry too much about flash blindness.I also believe the ammo is developed for better accuracy in short barrels,I also dont worry about this either.At under 7 yards or so accuracy is my last worry.
  17. I have 3 full size 1911's that will run no matter what,my RIA Compact also will run limp wristing.My EMP needs a good hold if for nothing else than the fact of dropping it when it goes off,hence the G10 grips.
  18. +100 on the 1911 cocked and locked
  19. thanks for all the ideas,for now I ended up putting my G10 grips back on,its the Cross Canon grips that are a little slick.I really like the looks of the Springfield Cocabolo but the G10 grips are a lot grabbier.
  20. I have purchased 3 firearms from them and all times it was a good experience.
  21. I wonder what the outcome would have been if she had a live hand grenade,Quite explosive Im sure.
  22. I would say he used too much gun butter.
  23. Yeh,I suppose checkering would be the way to go but that means having to send it off and then have the frame refinished,then wait to get it back.I dont know if I want to spend a good bit of money on something like that.I see Brownells has a product that comes 1X12 inches in strips,thats around $20.00 also.
  24. Just wondering if any of you use any type of grip tape on the front straps of your handguns,the front of my EMP is definately slick,any ideas.
