New EMP.

[SALK]

After a year of carrying a shield I am finally back into the 1911 platform! My question is, does any one remember who it was that was modifying the factory mags to make them flush fitting?

Logman. . .you can find him on the 1911 forum, under Springfield Armory

any particular reason you are dropping the Shield  for the EMP.  Personal Pref?  I too carry an EMP, but am in the market for a Shield

I had an emp before the shield but was offered a really good trade on a shield and a stag mod 3. I realized after the trade that I no longer really care for polymer guns. I had a shield .40 and had no complaints about it.

Nice pistol. A bit heavier but that's a non issue with the right belt and holster.

I forgot how heavy it really is. But to me it's worth it. like you said, good belt and holster goes a long way. I have the belts but now I have to get the.holster again.

9mm or .40?  The 9mm weighs about 27 oz, which is in the neighborhood of a Glock 19.  Not particularly heavy in my book.

EMP's are sweet , but the Colt Defender is in the hood by an ounce or so in .45 !

All this talk here and in other threads of the Colt Defenders, O Models, and the EMP have me regretting selling my EMP.

I guess I'll have to start saving and looking again.

Are you treating my baby ok, Pops? lol I miss her.

My first emp was a 40,this one is also. My only complaint is I want some g10 grips for it.
