Sure, me too for now. But do you have grenade launchers and stolen explosives? I don't. I've got a feeling this is NOT the start of a sweep for those who buy .45ACP by the case to get a cheaper price and save on shipping

Not at all - laws do not make illegal that which they do not specifically make legal. The main thrust of this bill is to exempt people who use guns in valid self defense or home defense from criminal charges relating to that use, not to limit any other use.

So do those who think this dying in a Dem committee proves that Dems are anti-gun (at least two posters made this claim either implicitly or explicitly) have enough honesty to apply the same reasoning to the multiple times this has failed to clear Republican committees? Which is it? Does...

Since I just moved here (ironically from MN) I needed the same info so thanks guys. One clarification. I assume that even with a permit the NICS for handguns still applies or is that gone too? Reason I ask is not ulterior. Just that I've had a couple of NICS checks come back delayed...

Nice ain't they? But speaking as a satisfied customer of this particular high buck brand I'll say that as a shooting tool and no more, you'd have to be a damn sight better than me, or than 1 x 4", to really get the benefit of an EB over any decent 1911 that can be had for far less. I shoot...

Well at 280 I may be a junior Bubba to some of the big guys who have already commented, but I'm certainly portly enough to know the problem. Tried a multitude of options and ended up with a Kahr PM-9 and a KD Pocket Defender. True pocket size - about 5" x 4" x 1" which prints just like a...

Well I'm a bit over 5'10 in height and a bit over 280 in weight so I certainly qualify as fat, and not that far from short by the standards of the younger generations. Like you I did not care for IWB and cannot often wear a cover garment. My solution was essentially the same as your...

Same thing as the RIA and mine has been excellent and reliable despite my hapless tinkering with it. Rough edged quality in fit and finish, bare bones design, and not exactly gorgeous, but they flat out work.

Of things that exist the PM9 I already have works fine (plastic and 100% reliable from day one with a sizeable amount of mostly +P practice, even though some people will say this is impossible for plastic Kahrs). Would be nice if it was SA/DA like the Taurus has as I would prefer a lighter...

ambi safety is good for a lefty like yourself yes. Front cocking serrations are a "demerit" rather than feature to most people - and few actually use that area for cocking anyway. I, like you, don;t care much. Beaver tails are pretty much standard on anything but bare bones GI guns...

I'm pretty much a semi-auto guy. Had a 686 a couple years back but never that comfortable or competent with it. However I am warming to the idea of trying out a revolver carry gun and the SW 325 PD caught my eye. I like the light weight and the .45ACP chambering - by far the round I shoot...

I like the IDEA of the ivory but if I can say this without offense these look, in the pic at least, a bit "plasticky". Of course I assume they ARE plastic, but just a bit less natural looking than some faux-ivory grips. Could be the pic, but given your photography skills probably realistic...

Kahr PM9 is a good option but DAO. Nice DAO, but DAO

YES! I would never carry my Ed Brown. It's not that this would be a crippling financial blow (although I'd certainly feel it, like almost anyone) but I'm a picky SOB and I like to keep nice looking high quality things looking nice. I don't worry too much about scratches on the Glocks or the...

This is not a new point but I'm in the camp of the recoil being different rather than excessive. I shoot both 9mm and .45 regularly, and plenty of other calibers sproadically when a group gets together. I much prefer the type of recoil from a .45 - it pushes more than snaps. It's not a...

Well my EB has never skipped a beat but that's only about 1000 rounds so far - it's my target/range gun. Reliability in a 1911 comes from matching the right parts to each other and fitting them well. Ed Brown and his folks do a bang up job of both. Would I carry mine? Hell no - I wouldn't...

Well safeties aren't THAT hard to put on - a bit fiddly maybe but I'm a lousy excuse for a tinkerer and I can manage, but I certainly wouldn't if I had the choice. It's both cheaper and easier to buy one with an ambi already there - it's a pretty common option on many even moderate-price guns.

The main technical answer has already been given - the 1911 is a single stack magazined design. You can't fit more than 8 in a flush fitting magazine and retain the slim profile (width matters more than length in concealment most of the time). The purists will tell you that you really should...

Hmm well I've certainly spanned the 1911 cost spectrum from the bottom to pretty close to the top and while my Ed Brown is an amazingly well made and fitted piece of work (and slightly different versions could sneak into your price bracket if you shop around) I must admit as a tool alone I...

Another plug for the Smith and Wesson line here - excellent value for the money. At that price point I'd give the new Taurus a long look too - somewhat mixed reviews on aesthetics but no-one's arguing the features are all there at a nice price.
