Good deal, I like the .45 ACP for the same reason! However, with the right load (Winchester Ranger-T or Federal HST), the 9mm will do a day's work, plus it's so much cheaper to practice with.AWMP wrote:badkarma56 thanks for the pics, I will be carrying my Kimber Ultra CDP II for sometime until my budget allows for the EMP. I like the EMP because it shoots cheaper ammo, but I have always enjoyed the 45acp just because of the larger bullet.
Yep, Andrew can be a tough rascal to get a hold of, but he really is a good guy. He will also stand behind his work if necessary (no trouble with my rigs though).5111 wrote:I also have a Concealco holster and am very happy with it....Just don't expect any customer service to go with it. It says right there on the site that he doesn't do customer service.
I remember talkin' guns and gear with him for about two hours that night!The holster that I have is for an Officers 1911. The holster is about 1/2 inch longer than the barrel and is pinched in. My Commander model will not fit all the way in it and still cover the trigger.AWMP wrote:I read on his web site that for short barreled pistols he makes the holster longer, anyone have one of these holsters? I would like to buy one for my Kimber CPD Ultra II, I enjoy this pistol because of its short barrel but if I buy a holster with a 5 inch holster, seems to defeat the purpose of me buying the short barreled pistol for CCW carry. Make sense?
I actually like it quite a bit. Yes, they have them in black. I really like way that an IWB holster allows me to wear a shorter shirt (6'3" and T-shirts always shrink) and I like how it holds the gun close to my body.AWMP wrote:5111 thanks for the pics, how does it carry? Comfortable? Do they make them in black? Considering ordering, but I have a huge drawer full of holsters and don't want to add another without making sure this one will work.
If you like the EMP but want a .45, check out the springfield micro compact 1911. I have one and like it alot. According to their website, the micro-compact and EMP have the same dimensions for height and length. The width of the emp is probably a bit less, but the micro-compact is not a "wide" pistol to begin with. Even so, it seems like a fair trade for the higher caliber.AWMP wrote:badkarma56 thanks for the pics, I will be carrying my Kimber Ultra CDP II for sometime until my budget allows for the EMP.
