    Need help shopping for a 9mm 1911

    Nathan - Thanks for the link. If we dont hear back from the gunshop monday we are planning on looking elsewhere. I hadnt really thought of looking online except at Buds but i will definitely look at that shop now too. Too many guns... not enough money...

    Need help shopping for a 9mm 1911

    Skiwi - The smaller grips and better customer service in one reason that my wife decided on the EMP. We have held the EMP in .40 but not 9mm because there is not one known to man for sale in our town at the moment. We went by a pawn shop that we frequent today and asked and the owner called...

    Need help shopping for a 9mm 1911

    Springer99 - Thanks for the advice. I have suggested trying a full size 9mm 1911 but she is set on the compact 9mm 1911. She says that it fits her hand the best and that it feels better than any pistol she has ever held. I have to agree that the gun fits like a glove in my hands as well. We...

    Need help shopping for a 9mm 1911

    Walkalong - we havent handled the 9mm but we have held and looked at the .40 cal. she can rack the slide and manipulate the safety and slide stop easily because of the thinner frame and grips. My wife is by no means weak or frail but she is recoil sensitive at the moment because of carpol...

    Need help shopping for a 9mm 1911

    First I want to thank everyone for their responses and suggestions. CZ223 - my wife did look at a 938 and wasnt as taken with it because it is so small. she wants something that is a balance of size and comfort. she wants something that she can get a solid grip on but still be small enough to...

    Need help shopping for a 9mm 1911

    Thanks for the info Jed. I will have to check out the STIs. The main reason i was looking at the ones listed above is because they are available in town (except the EMP). If we can find a STI in town i will definitely have her check it out. Pablo; we have actually both shot a G19 and while...

    Need help shopping for a 9mm 1911

    cool, I will have to show it to her and let her check it out. I know that right now she is really wanting that EMP this may be another good alternative if that proves to be too difficult at this time. Thanks for the Info about the Kahr. I am not as familiar with their guns as I probably...

    Need help shopping for a 9mm 1911

    Thanks, the inherent reliability with 9mm is one reason that the EMP is at the top of her list. My wife did look at some Kahrs but she is just not wanting another polymer gun. She has a Ruger P95 and is wanting to get into the 1911 platform. She is adamant on her next gun being a 1911 (or...

    Need help shopping for a 9mm 1911

    Hey everyone, My wife and I are looking into 9mm 1911s for her. For now it will be a range gun, nightstand gun, and eventually may become a ccw for her. After extensive looking around town we have found several guns that she likes ranging in order of her affection are the springfield EMP...

    Rolled the dice on one rough Taurus...

    that is a sweet looking powder coat job on that revolver. It seems to be a great carry gun for you. I hope that you can get many more years of use out of it since you are taking care of it so well.

    Bad wrist searching for lightest recoil 9mm

    My Wife just had Carpol Tunnel Surgery in December and loves her P95 (it was the first gun she shot after her surgery). It is known to be a light recoiling gun due to design and low bore axis. She has some problems with limp-wristing (especially when she is wearing her brace) causing stove...

    Range Report: Ruger SR22

    I dont view the Ruger SR22 as picky per se. I believe that it has worked as well as can be expected with cheap bulk Ammo. Will it shoot better once it wears in? Probably. Would a Mk II or Mk III or a .22 that is designed like them be less picky? Sure those are designed different with...

    Range Report: Ruger SR22

    I cant really attribute anything to the Walther as I have never shot one, I did handle one in the store and it seemed to be a decently made gun that was almost identical in size and dimension to the Ruger. I cannot attest to the P22's reputation. I am just saying that the only problems that...

    Ruger SR22

    My wife and I picked up two of these for cheap plinking and think they are wonderful guns! Read my range report here: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=640849 With decent ammo the gun is awesome just be weary of cheap winchester Bulk ammo (more info in the thread above). Good luck...

    Range Report: Ruger SR22

    I understand completely. For that kind of money it had better be the best 22 I have ever seen in my life. That is one reason I haven't bought a ruger lcr in .22 caliber, it's just too expensive to me.

    Range Report: Ruger SR22

    MB: I definitely don't blame the gun. I just wanted to see how reliable it would be with the bulk ammo. The gun shot very well and was accurate. I blame the cheap ammo for the problems and not the gun. Some of the rounds were so weak you could actually feel the light recoils and know to rack...

    Range Report: Ruger SR22

    RUT: we are planning on picking up some cci next trip to the range. We knew we would have some issueswith the Winchester, we just did not expect it to the extent that it was. CCR: I hope you find one, they are great guns. I am sad to hear about the M&P22. I loved my M&P9 and am a S&W fan (my...

    My wife and I paid about 330 apiece. That is about normal in this area.

    Look what came home with me Today! RUGER

    I didn't mind it. To each their own though. I had fun with it and it shot well for me. Maybe someone will make a better custom trigger group for you. I see this pistol being very popular.
