what caliber are you referencing? ive never seen .40 loads in the 14X range and ive never seen 9mm in 150+ grains. i dont know how to respond because i dont know what caliber youre referencing. in 9mm, 147 grains is the load to have. in .40 its 180 grains.

I've owned a 9mm EMP for a few months now, and I love it. The people who are comparing it to a Glock are comparing apples to oranges. They aren't even close. I own a Glock. I carry a glock as my primary duty weapon. It is a reliable weapon, but it has its limitations.

The EMP comes extremely "tight" from the factory. Like all 1911s it requires a break in period. Yes, you may have a few issues while getting through the break in period, but when you do it's worth it. The level of accuracy is amazing for a weapon with a 3 inch barrel. It shoots as well or better than my full size glock.

It's not for everyone. It is expensive. But is is in a different class than all of the polymer guns.

I would LOVE to get one but the cost is ridiculously high.
