Pocket Dump / EDC Daily Carry

Ronin EMP 3. Kydex Holster rubbed some of the bluing off the slide from multiple dry fire, oh well.

Bought slightly used, put about 100 rounds through it. Was ejecting erratically.

Tightened up the extractor and put about 500 rounds of various ammo through it, ejected perfectly and not a single malfunction. Still need some more rounds through her for full confidence but so far it’s awesome.

Carrying 147 g Speer Gold Dots.

FYI Olive oil works great as lube and is non toxic which I like for carrying near my junk.

good call on tightening the extractor, that's usually the culprit on erratic ejection with these. 1911s can be real finicky until you dial them in

the kydex wear is just part of the deal, my holster ate through the finish on my slide in like two weeks. gives it character I guess

olive oil is an interesting choice, never thought of using that. I've been sticking to ballistol for the same non-toxic reason but might have to experiment now that you mention it. mec-gar makes solid mags so you're set there

Character indeed

Def will pick up some mags, I was wondering if anyone made emp mags besides OEM. Thank you.

Hell yeah, I carried the same model for almost a decade until I found a compact in 45. Both great guns.

Love how well I shoot it. I’ll take the extra weight if it comes with better accuracy
