Review: Stan Chen Customized 1911 EMP

It's a beautiful piece, but no way I'd carry it. Why? Never carry any weapon you aren't willing to lose. If, God forbid, you are in a shootout your weapon will be confiscated. It will be treated like crap, and when it is finally released back to you it will be dinged, gouged and rusty. Not to mention it only has 9 rounds compared to 15 in most pocket striker fired pieces.
 
As a retired person on a small fixed budget, I can ill-afford the new "better mouse trap" whenever it shows up. Several years ago, i bought a used Colt M1991A1 "Commander" in .45ACP. I've never regretted it. it's heavier than my wife's .380auto, but I think it has less recoil. I'm 85y.o., wear bifocals, and can still put 8-out-of-10 inside the "8" ring in a "B" target at 75 feet. I see now reason to change. BTW" I'm a Nam vet and a former LEO.

As I’ve said whenever this comes up:

That makes as much sense as having a Hellcat (or Corvette, or Ferrari—whatever floats your boat) and never driving it because you might get in an accident.

Except, of course, you’re exponentially more likely to have an auto accident than get in a gunfight, and even with insurance, you’ll likely be out a lot more fixing/replacing the car than you’ll have in the firearm.

Additionally, if I use a firearm to save my life, it’s paid for itself a million times over, even if I never see it again.

It’s no reason to justify carrying a cheap, sub-par weapon.

Carry what you like.
 
I have an EMP ( not a Ronin) from 2007. I may go for the Chen Mag release. I do not carry this weapon, it is my bedside piece. Loves 124 grain and higher ammo only. Flat shooter. Replaced night sights recently because the tritium expired. This gun makes me very happy.

Nothing wrong with driving a Bugatti. Daily driving one would be beyond stupid.
