Agree. As I said, my EMP's are sweet, too. My 4 in carry contour in 9mm is my most frequent "go to" for carry. I carry 147gr HST's. It's accurate, reliable, soft recoiling, easily controlled. Only thing I've done to it, is apply some 150 grit sandpaper to calm the golf ball grips down. The...

Turkey, I can’t tell you what to avoid, but I have the following factory-grade makers/models, and I’m happy with them. Les Baer Premier II .45acp (Bought ca 1999, no parts replaced, still runs like a top, but for reasons I can’t explain, not my favorite.) Colt Series 80 Lightweight...

“Vertical play” not “vertices”. My admin assistant and secretary both, failed to proof read. So hard to get good help.

I like the McCormick Power mags and feel the most comfort with their reliability. I load 8 and chamber one, leaving 7 in the mag. Superstition maybe, but over the decades of shooting many types of magazine fed firearms, I‘ve come to suspect (imagine?) that maxing out a mag’s capacity seems to...

I have a coupla Sig 1911’s w external extractors … And other pistol designs (also Sigs, 1903 Colts, Hi Pwrs, Cz 75, …) with them, too. Never caused any problems for me. None. Maybe, if the scenario involves muddy trenches for months on end, the external extractors could theoretically become an...

FWIW, I have 2 EMP4’s in 9mm and one 3” EMP also in 9 mm. One 4” is the “carry contour” and it’s my favorite bc of the ergonomics. I just like the feel of round butts and bobtails. The other 4” and the 3” have flat MSH’s. I like them all. A LOT. Utterly reliable and very accurate. My carry...

Excuse my ignorance please, but what is the Joe Chambers Patreon page, and how may I access it? If it’s in any way tecknuckle please talk to me like I’m 8 or better yet, 5 years old. Thank you.

Yes, it’s a broad brush because I’m not able to visualize, much less describe in a few paragraphs, all the possible scenarios and permutations. And I’m not high on presumption. And, as you know, details matter. I did not intend to suggest “no problem”. If I had so intended, I would have used...

Umm, … Is “curl up in the fetal position and suck my thumb“ not an answer? More seriously: No two situations are exactly alike. As a minimum, the participants in different incidents, differ in innumerable ways. What works in one situation, might not work in another. What might work for me...

Indeed, Mike A1. “Strange children whose mouths speaketh vanity and whose right hand is the right hand of falsehood.” (Ps 144) (A reminder that ain’t nuthin new under the Sun - just the history we ain’t read yet.) When the strange children are not running things, they are the “useful idiots”...

“NAZI” is an acronym for German National SOCIALIST Party. Mussolini’s “Fascist Part” was a mere, catchy name change from its previous name, The SOCIALIST Party of Italy. Partly, the name change was Mussolini’s meglamaniac way of trying to upstage his friendly rival maglamaniac, Hitler! The...

If you explain to your woke son in law that the President and the AG have declared that White Supremacists are the nation’s biggest threat (after concerned parents of school children) he might alert to the need. And so, if the white surpremacist threat is not totally bogus, he might have a...

One of my “house guns” and occasional carry piece is an Sig “Nightmare”. It’s a dream to me. I like everything about it - reliable, accurate, comfortable, never a bobble. Despite the non-traditional slide dimensions & aesthetics (which I find appealing), I’ve had zero problems carrying it in...

Visiting Houston from out of state, and might have an afternoon free. Can anyone recommend a good firearms, self defense and/or hunting place to hang out and maybe even scarf up something I can’t live without? (Preferably within reasonable Uber distance from the Medical District, please.)...

My EMP is the 4 inch carry contour (bobtail)... 9mm. By way of comparison, FWIW, I have a coupla Colts, a Les Baer, a Sig, 2 or 3 RIA’s and a full on custom... and a host of other non-1911 handguns... semi-auto and revolvers. With a 1,000 rnds (+/-) thru it and not a single glitch (Not one!)...

So, now that I’ve examined the Recluse pocket holster (see thread on pocket holster recommendations for a friend), I’ve started to think a little bit about obtaining a dedicated pocket pistol... and carrying one more often. I own a few contenders already: .38 Spcl snubbies by Colt, S&W and...

Thanks for all your replies. Ordered a Recluse, which has arrived. It looks nice. As I said, it’s a Christmas gift for a fellow traveler. I’ll let you know if he likes it.

Thanks for the quick response!
