Very nice collection, Scuba...is that an EMP that I spy in your photo? Assuming that it is, I'm curious about your range experiences with the weapon. I've become very intrigued by this "short action" 1911 design and have been kickin' around the thought of getting one.

It might be high-time for me to drink a little of JMB's Kool-aid if the EMP lives up to it's promise... ;-)

I am a huge fan of the EMP. It is very accurate for a 3" pistol. As much as I love my .45's I am much more accurate in rapid fire with the EMP. It had a few initial hiccups, but a quick trip back to Springfield, and over 2,500 rds later it is still perfect. I plan on purchasing another one as soon as I can find one. They are pretty scarce right now.

That's a thought. Had I only known that I was going to become addicted to 1911's.


Hmmm. Those grips look familiar.

I just wanted to be like Rey :grin: .

Ahh yes, such beautiful hardware. Since I changed ISP's, none of my old pics work so I guess I'll just have to repost them. :lol:

Here's my 5" carry rig. Springfield lightweight loaded in 2-tone with an XS tritium front sight, Yost/Bonitz rear sight, Wilson Combat fitted barrel bushing, Wilson Combat 30lpi checkered MSH with lanyard loop, Davidsons "Horned Lizard" grips, Milt Sparks holster, Gary Brommeland mag pouch and Wilson 47DBC (black armortuff coating and compact steel bases) loaded with Winchester Ranger RA45T ammo.

+1 :smile: Scuba1911Guy is first class all the way.From his taste on cigars to wines and everything in between.. Now, having said that here's a pic of my BELOVED ROCK ISLAND ARMORY 45 acp. IMHO, best value for the money. I will have to ask HV to test drive my baby abd see if I can get an endorsement.. :smile:

That is one sharp setup! Great looking grips.

You need to work on the grouping a little :rolll

Yeah; HV has to be at around seven yards to put five rounds through the same hole. And out at 25 yards, you sometimes can't even cover his five-shot groups with a nickel. But he's still young. He has more time to practice. :grin:
