Mrs Wombat's EMP 9mm doesn't seem to like Speer Gold Dot 124gr +P so we've got a few different HPs to try during our next range visit. In case anyone is interested I've posted photos below. I'll provide an update once we next get back from the range.

 

Left to right in 9mm

  • Speer Gold Dot 124gr +P
  • Corbon 125gr +P
  • Hornady Critical Duty 135gr +P
  • Winchester Ranger Talon 124gr +P
  • Federal HST 124gr +P
  • Black Hills 115gr+P
  • Speer Gold Dot .45 ACP for comparison

Just from looking at the rounds I'd say the Hornady Critical Duty seems the most tapered (i.e. likely to feed most like a FMJ) with the CorBon being the least tapered (i.e. least like a FMJ) and the remaining HPs seeming to be much the same (somewhere in between the other two). At least from a visual inspection.

      Springfield Armory Customer Service (EMP) - GREAT!
      By TheWombat
      As mention in this thread on changing MrsWombat's EMP to a single sided safety she has had some issues with HollowPoints on her 9mm EMP. As the this is no longer about the safety I've started a new thread.
       
      Out of the 133 Hollow Points she tried to shoot at the weekend she had over 110 Failure to Feeds and/or Light Primer Strikes. This was after 724 rounds of FMJ over the last 8 or so months without issue.
       
      We tried a variety of Hollow Points including:
      Speer Gold Dot 9mm: 124gr +P Hollow Point Short Barrel (23611)
      Federal LE Tactical 9mm Luger: 124gr +P HST (P9HST3)
      Federal LE Tactical 9mm Luger: 124gr +P EFMJ (P9CSP1)
      Winchester Ranger Talon 9mm Luger: 124gr +P HP (RA9124TP)
      Black Hills 9mm: 115gr +P Tac-XP (D9N10)
      Corbon 9mm Luger: 125gr +P JHP (SD09125)
      Hornady Critical Duty 9mm Luger: 135gr +P FlexLock (90226)

      I sent an email to Springfield Armory Warranty on Monday 3rd September evening (Labor Day), by 10:11am on the Tuesday I had a response from Springfield Armory seeking to clarify a couple of points and our contact details and by 10:27 I had received a FEDEX shipping label to return the EMP to Springfield Armory to investigate and resolve the issue.
       
      I have to say I am very impressed. Compare to my Sig issue I have to give Springfield Armory an A+ for customer service response (so far) compared to the D- for Sig.
       
      Will post an update once we receive the EMP back.

      Changing an ambi-safety to a single-sided safety on an EMP?
      By TheWombat
      I'm looking to switch the ambi-safety on MrsWombat's EMP to a single-sided safety.
       
      I've never done this before and am new to 1911s. Does anyone have experience on changing 1911 style safeties and how difficult is it? I'd probably use an Ed Brown safety however have read that you need to spend about an hour filing away on the safety? I was thinking of trying it, however another option would be to find a gunsmith.
       
      Otherwise any recommendations on a gun-smith within 45 minutes of the Secaucus, NJ area?
       
      thanks
