A couple of Springfields

I really like the EMP.  Its light enough to carry and heavy enough to reduce muzzle flip which lets me hit things I'm shooting at. I want to try the .40 EMP sometime but it is much heaver due the the frame material. I believe its even heavier than the MC .45.

Cool looking set. I love my EMP How do you like the finger grooves?

Alot, have them on all my non-checkered .45s.  Those are for the Micro Compact .45 and I had to trim them a little.

When I'm not worried about concealment here is my "Every Night Carry", If I could only have one 1911 this would be it.

When I saw the title of this topic, this was the image that came to mind.

I love my Micro-Compact.  Had an EMP .40, but found the Micro was just actually easier for me to shoot, so I traded the .40 for an EMP 9mm, which became my wife's favorite gun.  Personally, I found the .40 just as nice to shoot as the 9mm.  I never really noticed any difference in the weight of the .40 vs the 9.

 

Oh - check out grip panels by Esmeralda for these.  She makes some knockouts!
