    Does anyone else try

    I do not open carry a great deal, but I do on occasion around home and the local area. I also carry a 1911. and wearing a cover garment in Texas in August is a royal pain.

    EMP Contour in Desert FDE - 9mm

    EMP's regardless of its caliber or design is very popular and they go fast. Over the last year I've had 3 good offers while at the range. It is my EDC so no offer would convince me to sell.

    Ayoob: Do You Make These 1911 Mistakes?

    An excellent article. I have one of the bad habits mentioned that I will now work on correcting. One of the habits I have been criticized for is not having my thumb on top of the safety. Its nice to see 'my method' of having my thumb just under the safety affirmed by Ayoob.

    Are You Ready for El Presidente?

    I first shot the El Presidents at Gunsite 5 years ago. I've shot it as part of my regular training. I work some adaptations of it to spice it up, but it is basically the same thing. I carry a 1911 so I'm using Jeff's gun.
