So I'm thinking of drinking the 1911 Flavor-Aid and buying a Springfield EMP. My other pistols to this date have either been Glocks or my pocket Kahr MK9, so this will be a bit of a departure for me.
Once I get comfortable with it, I will probably think about transitioning this to be my carry pistol, saving the Kahr as a backup piece (and yes, I am willing to put in range/practice time necessary to be comfortable with the EMP.) My question is: what are the things I should be aware of for 1911-style pistols (in terms of things like maintenance, etc.,) that I might not be aware of having only had striker-fired pistols before?
Thanks in advance.
