    What watches

    I wear a the watch I was issued 50 years ago when I was in the army. Have to replace the band every 5 years or so and get it cleaned once a decade. No batteries you have to wind it up. Getting harder and harder to find some one to keep it tuned up.

    Could You Weak-Hand Draw If You Had To?

    In 2018 took a Practical Concealed Carry class at Gunfire Academy. Drawing with support hand only and engaging targets was one of the drills we learned and practiced. It is no easy task and needs to be practiced often to become proficient at it. It is one of the skills you never know when you...

    Review: Springfield Armory EMP Concealed Carry Contour Handgun

    Good article. I've been carrying the EMP4 CC for a year now. It is a great EDC. Shoot it a couple times a week. Using Winchester 115 grain FMJ. Good groups never had a malfunction. No problem engaging targets at 25 yards. I have had some feed issues with Hornady JHP so I quit carrying it and...

    Ayoob and the Ronin

    My wife and I are just finishing a class at Gunsite. I am using my Ronin she is using an EMP4CC. both are 9mm. I've shoot close to 1000 rounds this week so that makes my total about 4500 rounds. It performed flawlessly this week. and the accuracy is spot on.

    Ayoob and the Ronin

    I've been shooting my Ronin for about 2 months now. At first I thought it odd that there was no checkering, since it has become fairly common on newer models of the 1911. after a little over a 1000 rounds I have found that I do not miss it on the Ronin. The firearm is well balanced and very easy...

    Ayoob: Is the .45 Obsolete?

    The .45 will never go out of style or be obsolete. It is a round that in conjunction with the 1911 has great appeal than the 9mm. I know more folks own striker fired 9mm than .45; however, I am starting to see more people with striker fired .45. I think they are afraid of the 1911 or think it...

    Ayoob: Is the .45 Obsolete?

    Spent years around pistols In the Army was trained and issued an M1911 and a police officer I was trained and issued a S& .38 Special. I fell in love with both of those guns. I bought a couple of striker fired pistols over the years. I was never impressed with them. I have never found anything...

    First time 1911 owner

    My Colt 1911, and my Springfield EMP 4 can give me some difficulty getting the slide stop pack in. I've no issues with my Sig or Ronin. I use a dental tool I use of cleaning to help depress the spring and I can get both of them back in pretty easily. Each 1911 is a bit different, no two are...

    Range Report took my Ronin out for the first time. Fired a total of 100 rounds doing Dot Torture and the Gunsite School Drill. I used 3 different ammunitions, Fioochi 115 grain FMJ 9mm, Hornady Critical Defense 124 grain JHP, and Syntech 150 grain. No malfunctions at all with the Fioochi...

    First time 1911 owner

    I just ordered some magazines from Springfield for mine. They are reasonably priced and a sturdy. Do not get the magazines that are specifically for the 9mm Springfield EMP they will not work in the Ronin.

    Reasons to Carry

    I don't need a reason to carry. Simply carrying because I want to is sufficient.

    Springfield Armory EMP 3 9MM: Magnum Opus of Self-Defense Handguns

    Slim6597 I think it is. I wear an OWB holster and whether it is under a shirt or jacket, you can't really see it, I've had no issues with printing either.

    Springfield Armory EMP 3 9MM: Magnum Opus of Self-Defense Handguns

    I EDC an EMP4 CC. It is accurate, and easy to conceal. I carried a number of striker fired pistols prior to getting the EMP. The reason I carried them was because a 1911A1 just got to heavy to wear all day for this old man. The EMP was a find, after shooting and carrying a 1911 for a number of...
