Beginning to contemplate my next 1911. The SA EMP has caught my eye— but the price-tag seems a little steep. Is this a reflection of the current state of the enterprise or has this particular SA model always been 3-4 hundred dollars more than its other SA brothers and sisters? If so, what makes it worth the difference?

The EMP was never a low cost item. Was pricey for awhile, then got more reasonable. Popular gun. The early ones had a few specimens with feed issues, magazine based IIRC. They straightened that out fairly quick.

Never had one, never shot one. Just what I garnered from the 1911forum.

Ok, now I have to go fondle my 1911s again. They are my favorite pistols. Next is my HKs then my tactical Xds

I can’t tell how many I had. How many I sold to thin the herd. How many I sold to fund my son and I to Philmont, NM. I can’t say how many I have. I do know the 1911 is not quite half my number of handguns. They do get fruitful and multiply. Very few of mine are close to or as produced. There is a website..1911addicts. Amply named.

My very favorite handgun...5.5” Ruger Redhawk.

Wheel guns are different and I have my Favorites but that is much different. I like a single action 45colt more then anything else in a wheel gun.

New used toy

Looks beautiful! I've been hoping to run across one of those.

I want one of those and a world war 1 colt repro to round out my set.

Thanks—- that’s helpful. I’d feel a little better spending the amount asked knowing it’s not part of the recent trend.

No, the Mustang was a different model. This is a Government model. It is mini 1911

Looks like a Mustang to me. Even the factory manual lists the Mustang on the cover. The factory manuals are generic to several models.

But 1911addicts loves BBP!

As I remember the Mustang was a litlle blockier, kinda looked like the current Sig and Kimber micros.

Here you go. Colt Govt. (top), Mustang (bottom). Govt. has a longer barrel and bushing.

My favorite is an 'Old" Ruger Blackhawk 45 Colt.

1911's some stock,some customs, some started out as a bunch of parts in boxes / bins

Sounds like you get the same “yes sir!” I get at gun shows when you find parts tables.

Had to look this one up. I was thinking Mustang vs Pony. Totally forgot about the Government .380. Smallest I owned was the Officers model.

 

[ezracer]

I'd say I like 1911's !

Top to bottom:
-- Springfield 1911 Loaded 45 ACP
-- Springfield EMP 9MM
-- SIG P238 (.380 ACP)

OOPS! Left to right.

Ha! I knew there was another one. I'd forgotten the Pony.

How'd you guess? "Yes Sir" I definitely seek out the parts tables, Just
like the kid in the candy store, only thing is it costs way more. Look for
things at each and figure out what I may need them for or what I need
to go with what's in the "parts bin(s) Started on some project "builds"
that have been on the back burner for years.
