So something else happened yesterday...

Is it easy to rack like the EZ ?

Yes it is. It is virtually the same gun in most ways. This one came with a thumb safety, which I can learn to live with (my EZ does not). The Equalizer comes with an Uplula mag loader right in the box also.

I have a Shield in .40 with a thumb safety. I will say it's placed perfectly for disengagement on the draw, but mine is never engaged.

The Equalizer fits in the holster I have for the EZ perfectly. Audible click and everything. I don't engage the safety either. It has the grip safety and I'm always conscious where my fingers are.

Someone here, possibly Belt Fed, posted a link to a book called Shooting To live. Written in the 1940s by some old grandfathers of the combat pistol. They actually encourage instructors to disable the safeties. Of course they also stress that your gun should be carried with no round chambered, but...

It is an insightful book and illustrates the usefulness of point shooting. The training they prescribe involves close distance and not looking at the sights.

Very nice! Congratulations!

Now that's a deal and a half! I know you'll enjoy it. Please let us know how it shoots. All of these members here posting pictures of new guns is going to cause me to come down with a case of new gun fever.

I’m in the same boat here, members getting FN’s, S&W’s, Springfield’s and our @Belt Fed and his yeets, as soon as I get my co-payment on my stress test paid, I’m going shopping…..

So there I was, minding my own business (recovering from the gas price shock), and well, to borrow a phrase from another member here... this followed me home.

I have been looking at it for a while, and with my hands aching as often as they do now, it seemed like a great deal. It came with three mags (10, 13 and 15 round) and an awesome little bag. Was $100 off the listed price for the gun alone so, yeah, I gave it a home. Looks like I will have to squeeze in a range trip on my way home from work this week View attachment 43448View attachment 43449View attachment 43450

I’ve been wanting one of these for some time - eventually my tinge of arthur-itis is going to be too much for 1911s.

I too am awaiting a range report !

PS - what kind of sights?

White dots. I am going to swap them out for night sights. Eventually I may add an optic, as the gun is optic ready.
