Springfield EMP 9mm - anyone own one?

Featured Replies

2 PPs left- gotta use at least one of them.

I was thinking a 1911 in 9mm

and while searching saw the EMP

 

Wondering if anyone had any experience with one...

Looks like it'd be great for ccw

 

if you have any other suggestions I'm all ears...

about $900 is my limit

I think i prefer commander length but that's just from an aesthetics point of view

I never held one, but I'd sure like to.

 

Hear they are sweet.

It's been on my -to shoot- list for a while, get one so I can put some rounds down range!

i guess i'm gonna have to seriously consider it for the sake of you guys...

I have one. One of my fav 1911s. The frame was designed for 9mm unlike others so the grip is shorter(fore/aft) and thinner which fits better. Has a 5+lb trigger but it's very crisp. It's very accurate and shoots like a much bigger gun. The recoil is quite snappy though for a 9mm.

 

It has a tighter chamber so it doesn't really like reloads but has no problems with factory ammo.

 

Only gripe I have is the front sight. It is almost impossible to pick up in an indoor range. Needs a white surround around the tritium vial.

held the 40 today at njfg

apparently the 9mm is hard to find out there and if it is in stock it doesn't stay that way for long

i might have to go the gunbroker route if that's the case

unless paul or one of our vendors can get one on their hands

i did a price request here and none but paul have responded so things look bleek

 

one thing i didn't expect about this little piece is its heft.

pretty heavy considering its size

but then all i've held prior were all polymer

 

auto if ur ever in an nj range with said pistol and are feeling generous i'd like to shoot it

that is if i don't sell myself first
