    Sidearms & Scatterguns Colt New Agent or EMP?

    Re: Colt New Agent or EMP? It's tough not to like the Colt. Personally, I don't like the EMP. Maybe the first one I shot left a bad taste in my mouth, or maybe the aftermarket support for it is limited as compared the bigger frame stuff.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Best value for $ on 1911's

    Re: Best value for $ on 1911's STI's Spartan is a good bet. The one I shot locked up like a bank vault. FWIW, A bushing wrench was mandatory for bushing removal.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Question?

    Re: Question? The .380 has it's place. Remember, shot placement will be CRITICAL. It's not the most effective round, but, I don't see where it's any worse than .38 special out of a snubby and many consider those to be perfectly acceptable. If you're asking about the Pocketlite's viability...
