I recently picked up a Taurus M627 Tracker in .357 Mag,38 special shoots absolutely great in this piece,puts them all in the 3 inch black circle at 30 foot.Its a lot friendlier to fire 38's and a lot cheaper also.pistol ran right at $500.00 new with 4 inch ported barrel,and Yes the porting does make an incredible difference.

Yup,I gotta agree the red dot sights are great for 50 something year old eyes,this is the target from my initial sighting

Thats a good pick for SD round,Big lead,big hole.

Like the RIA,What color is the Duracoat.

I believe either you could get a set from MIL-TAC Knives and Tools for about $65.00 if I am not mistaken.Springer is using the same G10 grips from the factory on their pistols.

A person always appreciates fine looking 1911's,a couple of nice ones there.

What type of grips are you looking for,I may have a set of Wicked Grips that I would sell.If interested give me a PM,I could send you a picture.I also have purchaeed some nice Dymonwood grips from Raasco,they are very reasonable and shipping times are about a week.It all depends on the kind of grips your interested in,there are a big bunch of manufacturers.From rubber,metal,wood,ebony,you name it they make them.I also have G10 grips on my EMP that are pretty aggressive in the palm,stick real nice they do. G10 Dymondwood Raasco Kimber Laminate Cocobolo Cross Canon by Springfield More Dymondwood on a Taurus PT1911 And last but not least Pachmeyer Signatures in an officers size grip

This:D:D

Rule #1.If new ownership is taken of a 1911 a picture must be included:DCongrats on the new Colt.

Quite correct the EMP is only available in .40S&W or 9mm.This is the .40S&W And one to consider would be a RIA CS-Tactical in officers size 3.5 inch barrel,pretty reasonable for around $500.00 and in .45ACP

Yeh,not only is the knife useless but so is the EMP,whats the bid idea of trying to stick a 5 inch 1911 into 3 inches.:D:D

Just received my next carry knife-CRKT MINI MY TIGHE-what a nicely made and smallish knife,super sharp and what they call Outburst assisted opener,very fast.I think I will stay with my EDC setup.I think I found the right combination.

Oh Man,just when news was starting to make sense.My delusions are shattered.

Yeh,I am gonna have to do something also,they never told me that my belt would get smaller when I quit smoking,guess I will have to try and warranty it.

The Ruger GP100 stainless is on my long list(as long as I want one its on my list).I had a blued GP100 and it was a great pistol.Very sturdy and a great shooter.

I have been finding .40S&W in the Wal Mart on Hwy 64,the Federal Champion for a decent price also.The last time I was there they had plenty of 9mm and .40S&W but no .45ACP.

Picked up a Ruger 221lr today and the system was working fine.Background came back in under 5 minutes.

DONT BUY A 1911-WARNING-THERE IS NO KNOWN CURE-1911ITIS IS NOT TO BE TAKEN LIGHTLY:D

This With all that other stuff.

My Columbia River ,great knife but hard to resharpen,almost like the carbon steel is too hard.Once its sharp it stays that way though.

I chose Springfield Loaded simply because I have one and I think that the options a person gets from a factory pistol is pretty decent.not to mention I am a little biased.Mine is reliable,accurate and fun to shoot,not to mention all stainless steel.

Crossbreed also makes a good quality hybrid holster also,very comfortable in my opinion.

I have Crossbreeds in both type leathers.I like the cowhide more because it seems to be a little more flexible which makes it more comfortable.I have no doubt though that the horsehide will hold up better in the humid climate.The horsehide has been a bugger to break in,its a lot stiffer.

Your Sig P238 is a mini 1911,a 1911ette if you will.

I carry a Springfield EMP 40 daily and to tell the truth I wouldnt at this point carry anything but the Springer.So far it has outperformed a lot of other pistols I have owned.It has been 100% reliable and is also accurate enough in my hands for a defense pistol.As far as the cocked and locked train of thought-all of your double action pistols are also cocked,its just that you cant see the hammer.Safety is not any less on a 1911 than a Glock or a Taurus or any other pistol thats carried with 1 in the chamber.
