I like the EMPs but wish they had a model with a shorter grip, either with the current barrel or a longer one. I'm surprised there aren't more scaled down 9mm 1911s out there. I wish there were. I guess the manufacturers don't think they will sell well.

IIRC, the frame and slide of the GI Model 1911 was made in Brazil. I remember when Springfield had a bunch of made in Brazil 1911s. They were inexpensive, though not all ran well. One models I read about only ran well with ball ammo.

The XD models have good reps. I guess they just didn't sell well.

I never heard of the VHS 2.
