I've looked at the Rugers but have never had the chance to fire one, yet.

I'm looking forward to seeing it, Hal.
I wouldn't buy into the "feminine" thing, but I'm old. I could care less. I'm guessing that when someone is looking at that thing pointed at their face, the last thing that might cross their mind is "Oh, brother. I'm about to get shot in the face with a pink gun with sparkly rhinestone grips that say "Baby Phat"."

The 6 round mag has never hung up, and I've dumped a lot of cheap russian ammo through that gun.
That's not to say magguts wouldn't work perfectly, but I figure if I can't hit my target in 6 shots, it's not my day. Plus, I can always throw the gun at my target if I missed with the first 6, that's just like 7 rounds.

Or grab the next magazine from your belt carrier...

1911 magazines can be fickle things. (Maybe that's the "feminine" part of these guns.

)

The compact variants, seemingly more so than full sized counterparts and their magazines. One classic example I had was a Colt Defender that ran just fine with every six or seven flush-fit mag, EXCEPT for the one that came with the gun. It also did fine with the longer, Government model magazines, regardless of brand. Never did figure that out.

Just picked up a pocket holster for my P938 today.

Pretty comfortable and seems to work as intended.

Anyone partake in the BMG? Looked at a wide range of manufacturers over the years and keep leaning towards EDM. Never shot any of them so it makes it difficult to decide based off internet forums and appearance. Sure a M107A would do but I ain't trying to spend $13k and still have to buy optics.

Way back when, I had an opportunity to buy one of the first (a single shot bolt) models. I'm kinda kicking myself for not doing it. It would be fun to have one sometimes.

The EDM breaks down and you can also buy other barrels for it which makes it nice. Not sure if it compares to a McMillan but I like them.

^^^yeah they ain't cheap and they ain't cheap to shoot either.

But the real question is...can you get Bling Bullets for them?

I'm not sure why Kimber went with Blue for that summer collection stuff.
They have some camo-ish stuff that doesn't look bad.
I'm all about the stainless and rosewood, myself.
I'd carry that blue thing up until I could trade it in on a gun that doesn't have a vagina. But that's just me.
