If you want a decent CC weapon that's small enough for an ankle holster but still hits like Tyson with his grudge on then I'd recommend this.

The Springfield 1911 Enhanced Micro Pistol is a semi-automatic medium-frame pistol chambered in 9mm and .40 S&W.

Common enough ammo. Easy on the recoil. All around great workmanship and design.

No, it's from the Kimber Custom Shop, IIRC.

Marketing gimmick.. it stands for "Enhanced Micro Pistol" They started to make them in 9 mm and 40 caliber to make it a little smaller than the 45 acp..

FYI the serial Number will be on the Body.. Kimber of Oregon may be on the body as pictured or maybe on the slide.. Also do not publish the serial number on the net...

Oh, I was told there was regular size, commander, and officer. This one is a a commander size, IIRC.
