I felt it calling to me. All it took was one look and I knew I had to have it. I actually went to the gun shop to order a new wheel gun and they talked me out of it. So, here's what I got:
A Springfield Armory, EMP 9mm, Compact Bitone. It's the smallest, lightest, prettiest 1911 I have ever seen. Did I mention it is pretty? What do you think?

Say, that's a fine purchase. I have the .40 version, it's a champ.

I have the 40 as well. You wont be sorry.

Anyone have a reasonably priced IWB holster recommendation?

pinecone70 · 03-29-2010, 03:00 PM

I just bought a Galco IWB at Cabela's for $27. It works well, I may like it better than the belt holster, especially for summer, it is concealed a bit better and I don't need a belt.

Got the exact same one and couldn't agree more!

Check out the "SuperTuck". Very nice, comfortable IWB for around $69. I think they offer disconts for NRA members.
