is that the gun you wanted, other than the price? if so remington knows what you want, and how to build it.

No, actually, I was just pointing out that the gun you posted was much more than $600.

This sentence didn't really resemble English, no.

ok last try, it costs a lot of money to work out a working slide weight and spring rate. if this is the size and caliber that's been done now the gun can be built without having to start from scratch. the emp is a down sized 1911 in 9mm(and 40S@W if my memory doesn't completely suck tonight

) it's like a short throw 1911.

now IF someone built a gun just like this one(preferably without the beaver tail

) but it was $599 is that what you wanting?

oh i have a space in blueprints that couldn't help

edit: link was to page 2

and "like this" as in one like this, not as in here it is.

Not being a 1911 geek, good thing or bad thing?

Series 80 implements an unnecessary firing pin block mechanism, a drop safety. It complicates the trigger group a tad and makes trigger tuning a bit more difficult.

It's not necessarily a bad thing in the grand scheme of things. A Series 80 1911 is still simpler and better than most non-1911 platforms. But if I had a choice I'd take a Series 70 or older 1911 style, myownself.

If you'll sell me one for $599, then we have a deal.....

sanglant · « **Reply #38 on:** May 05, 2010, 10:54:32 PM »

wish i could, i'd like to have one.

i have been hoping someone(i would like to see springfield do it) would make a basic model of a xmp for around 500(less metal than a full size 1911, and i can't see where there would be extra tooling.

), but i know it'll never happen.

Fly320s · « **Reply #39 on:** May 05, 2010, 11:56:28 PM »

I have a 9mm EMP. It is a fun little pistol, but it will never replace any of my normal-size 1911s. The reduced size is nice, but I prefer the fit of a full size to my hands. And for a small increase in size I can have a .45 instead of a 9mm with about the same capacity and recoil.

As to the cost, we'll never see a $600 EMP; it has too many proprietary parts. Those itty-bitty parts require special tooling that just costs too much to be amortized over the few number of guns sold. If the EMP should suddenly become as popular as 1911s, then we will see the price come down.

And there's the rub....as long as the price stays above $1K, it won't ever be as popular as the 1911's and Glocks. But I'd settle for a compact Commander-sized pistol using full-sized parts, which shouldn't be too expensive. So explain why none of the current 1911 makers can't do that for less than $600?....

A quality 9mm lightweight Commander is on my "break open the piggy bank" list. Para and Kimber are the only options I'm aware of, and they each have quality issues or characteristics I don't want.

makattak · « **Reply #42 on:** May 06, 2010, 09:04:36 AM »

I don't yet have a 1911 in my collection. Should the R1 turn out to be quality, maybe I'll make this a Christmas wish item.

I've always heard good things about the Rock Islands for cheap 1911's meownself.

Others have covered the Colt implementation, but S&W did the drop-safety the right way by disengaging it with the grip safety, not the trigger.

Quote from: seeker_two on May 05, 2010, 07:19:02 PM

If Remington (or Ruger or any other company coming into the 1911-clone business) wanted to make a big splash, they'd bring out a Lightweight Commander or Officer's Model in 9mm for $600 or less.....THAT would be a big splash....

Springfield Armory had the Ultra Carry LtWt 1911. Officer-ACP-sized (3.5"bbl), aluminum frame. It could be had in 9mm and I bought one for my wife for $750 or so a few years back. It carries like a dream.

I've got an RI compact version that shoots pretty good. It isn't polished up or pretty, but it has functioned very well.

I like mine. Ate hollow points right out of the box and has worked quite nice for me so far. Only been able to afford to put a few hundred rounds through it though.

I've got a RIA Tactical and so far it's a pretty serious boomstick. Left it in Texas for the move, can't wait to hit the range and put a couple hundred more rounds through it...
