Sorry - I should never have asked !!! WOW ! Thought this was "The High Road" !!!! :confused: Let me apologize for not finding the other threads where this question was presented. Also, let me apologize for asking a simple but serious question. Geeezzzzzz, I had no idea it would piss...

Springfield EMP

Situation Where It Might Be Used ? I have a real-life example where such a badge "MIGHT" be useful. While driving one day, I apparently wasn't driving fast enough and didn't move over quick enough for a road-raged guy behind me. Not only did he flip me off and yell irrately; when we stopped...

There are several web sites which offer CCW Badges. I'm just curious if anyone out there has one of these badges ? If so, what was your reason for getting it ? Have you ever "used" or "revealed" it ? Under what circumstances ? Would it be of any benefit to have one to show an LEO ? In...

:) If you had used a similie such as the one in the above quote, instead of a statement representing "fact", I would not have bothered to comment. The real problem is the significant misunderstanding/fear of radiation, and the incorrect references to cancer causation when radiation is...

RyanM - Tritium Sites :eek: Sorry, being a Nuclear Engineer and Health Physicist, I must respond. Tritium has a maximum beta energy of 0.0186 MeV, which determines the range of travel and the depth of penetration. The approximate MAXIMUM range in air is...

If "small 9" means weight, you're right; however, when compared to the SIG P232 the form factor is very close: Overall Length Overall Height SIG P-232:6.60 " 4.70 " EMP :6.50 " 5.00 " I must admit, pocket carry is not my style...

:what: In an SD situation, I could care less what my gun looks like..... That said, my Springfield EMP 9mm is AWESOME LOOKING !!! :D I can't say enough about my EMP. Very small, great balance and outstanding accuracy ! Also, despite the experience of some others, I've had absolutely no...

As everyone else said - she should at least hold them; preferrably shoot them. If you got the bucks, she will LOVE a Springfield EMP. It's a 9mm in a 1911 style; easy to carry, easy to hold and more importantly VERY ACCURATE. If nothing else, at least let her see and hold one..... then...

So far, I've bought all my guns using FFL. Like you, my range is also a gun store and they even offer a discount to us members. However, my range is located in an area with a 7% sales tax. When you buy a $ 1K gun, that's a chunk of change ! :what: So, I've chosen to buy over the internet...

My 2 cents Since you guys are talking 1911 style and 3" barrel, not caliber, I'll chime in about my Springfield EMP. :) It's a $1k+ gun, and the quality shows. While some have had their problems (mainly magazine/feed related), I have not had a single problem. :D It is NOT JUNK, it...

I have an old Remington Model 11 12ga full choke, which I inherited from an uncle. It's in great condition, shoots fine and I know it's at least 50 years old. Can someone tell me what it's worth ? :confused: Thanks ! :)

Seems like you maybe want only professionals to respond; but I will anyway, though I'm not a professional. I'm with you in that I don't want any unnecessary things on the rail. Since I have Crimson Trace grips, I don't need a laser, only a light. I have a SIG 229 with rail, and purchased...

SIG 229 - 9mm: I use a 17rnd mag w/ 1 in chamber, so I don't carry any extra mags. Springfield EMP : Depends on where I'm headed. "Usually" I don't carry any extra mags; so I have 1 chambered + 9...

UpLULA I've had mine now for about 2 months and love it. I use it for both single and double-stack mags. I take a lot of mags with me to the range so I don't waste time loading there. Believe me, the UpLULA saves a ton of time even with the single stacks. More importantly, it saves a lot...
