| I gave my 1911 style 9mm to my oldest son a few years ago. I never took to the 9mm round. However, I do like the .40 S&W and the .45 ACP. Recoil does not bother on the Walther PPS 40 amd Springfield XD-45 Compact. |

Did you chrono any defensive rounds with this pistol?
I was just wondering how much that short barrel lowers velocity.

If I want a slim and "perfect" 9mm, I'll go with the Walther PPS, of course.

| I've had my EMP for over a year and it remains one of my favorites. It's a fun little gun, accurate and easy to conceal on my skinny bod. Bonus for me is my 8 yo son can shoot it and even though my wife hasn't shot it yet it fits her hands well. My other 1911's are all commanders and govt's so this is a nice piece in the stable. |

Sure, it's good looking. 1911's hold a place in just about any gun-lover's heart.
But I want a gun that goes bang every time I pull the trigger. AND...and I don't want to have to send it back in to the company to make it shoot.
I would think for $1200 that it will be a gun that...er um...shoots. 
They should just put in a working model in the box and sell it for $1500. 
I'll stick to my ugly Glock 27, which is a beautiful thing as it only cost me $530...and here's something strange...it shoots.  |

I haven't had any issues feeding FMJ or HP's. I agree, I wouldn't have paid retail at the time I bought mine especially since I didn't have any experience with it. BUT, if I had to replace it for some reason right now, I would pay retail if I had to in order to get another one. I like it that much. Maybe the OP can explain what SA said the issue was with his or what they did to correct it. I would guess polish the feed ramp, top front of the chamber and maybe tweek the mag feed lips.

| despite my initial troubles with my EMP i am still very pleased with it and carry it far more often than i ever expected i would. to date i still have not suffered a single failure since getting it back from springfield. |

That is one sweet looking emp.Reliability is everything in a carry piece.This is why everyone chimes in on their favorites(sig p239 .40 is mine) .If you own a gun
for carry then you must have complete confidence it will go bang.Everytime period.Money can't always buy that.And it will usually take more to correct it. Glocks no matter how fugly seem to achieve this.And at a great price point.I can't talk from experience as I refuse to own one,I believe plastic adds to global warming.So now that you've gotten over your initial disappointment.This gun seems to have fulfilled the confidence part.
And it's a great looker to boot..Nirvana has been achieved...for now...  |
