Ok so we ran the entire Gamut on 1911's but the thread was originally a Spud question on the EMP, anyone have first hand experence with them? I been hearing mostly bad things so far.

Thanks TX, that's them. Skipper, everyone is different but for me the ultra II's fit my hand perfect and I shoot it better than my 5in. :)

Mine is the Ultra II Tactical it has the extended mag well and mag extension, two-tone black and green. The CDP is the Melted version all smoothed out.
Then there is the Raptor Version that looks like snake skin. That's the only Untra II light weights I am seem myself. Find one like mine, it is a very nice gun!

He shoots often.

Is that a 3in. like my Ultra II?

Yeah, I meant to write Ultra Carry Stainless.

Cool, I didnt even know they made a stainless. Hmmmmm

They seem to be very picky about working properly and they're not nearly as fun to shoot as a Commander sized or full sized 1911. I'd say try to shoot a compact 1911 before buying one.

No doubt it is best to try one first but I tell ya, those big white sights on my Kimber Untra II sure make it easy to shoot. I'd trade my full size 1911 for another 3in. Kimber in a heart beat.

Yeah, but your not normal and a lefty.

That must be it, my Springfield is a Righthand gun... man! I asked for a Lefty version, I am sure I did!

Spud, I have the Springfield 5in. and the Kimber Ultra II and I love them both, I actually shoot the Small Kimber better.
