OK...I've gotten a little encouragement from Ms Maggie after she fired a friend's Springfield EMP. For 9mm 1911 it had very little  recoil and was very accurate. So I'm asking for input on what is the best (read, "least problematic") tiny 1911- 3-3-1/2" barrel.

The EMP WAS nice, but I prefer 45 especially for SD gun. But I also would rather not be restricted to 6 rd. Any ideas?

I'm not too excited about that one. I'm not excited about a 1911 in my pocket. I know it's been done in the early 1900's, but it's just not the right gun for me.

I've been thinking of upgrading from a 9mm to a 45 for carry as well.  You trade off a couple of rounds (depending) for the larger caliber.  I've been eyeballing a Kimber Pro Carry II (commander length) pretty hard.  I carry IWB so I think the extra inch of barrel wouldn't be any problem at all and I can always use a longer sight radius.  I haven't seen anything bad about them - well, except that Kimber price tag.  They sure fit my hand well and I like their trigger.

Springfield also makes the EMP in 40 S&W if you have deep pockets.

Or, you could wait until Ruger comes out with a compact SR9 in 45ACP.   ::)

Ichiban is trying to goad me into misbehaving. They could make an SR9 that give you Happy Ending and I still wouldn't get one.

I hate to bring it up....Taurus Millenium 145- 3-1/4" barrel, 10 rounds of .45 acp. It's just not a steel gun.
Or how about the mini Hawgs...can't you get them with 9 or 10 rounds for cost just under a whole donut?

Also ....Jumbo....it's "Cough, cough, Upgrade, upgrade"

I've carried a PT145 since May. 1500 rds, no problems. No coughs.

I have been looking real hard at the Glock 26 or Glock 27. But after squeezing the trigger of a Smith and Wesson M&P 9mm Compact, I may be sold on it!!!
