They rock - if you are coming down to Vacaville and want to come a bit farther you can shoot mine. PM me for info.

better than my price in 2010...

How much does midway sell them for on sale? They are like $19.50 each with the loaded coupon, I still need to get some more

I paid $20.69 each back in September 2010. I remember that as a sale price at the time.

I had two mags modified to be flush fit, I think it's much better than that darn plastic pad sticking out. I replaced the ambi thumb safety with a Nighthawk single sided, excellent quality and the finish matches. My EMP had to be returned to SA due to primer flow plugging the firing pin hole. The fix was a steel FP and slightly reduced power FP spring.

If you've ever done IDPA or other competition and had a reload not work 'cause the mag was flush and didn't 'slam home', you appreciate a little extra pad. The same principle applies to SD.

I really like the flush mag also...but be aware that if you mag gets stuck in the gun during a reload, or during a double feed stoppage, the won't be a lot of mag to grab to rip it out of the magwell

True, but I see no need for the pad on the mag carried in the gun. I have extras with the pad still attached.

Two thumbs up on the EMP's!!
Every new shooter my wife & I introduce to guns they like the EMP 9 the best, such an accurate gun in a thin, small package.

I liked the nine so much I got the 40 too!

The reason people do the flush mag is for concealability, thats the whole reason for this gun, accurate & concealable in one, and they are!!

As far as getting a stuck mag out the front tang is still there to use & I doubt it'll stick- man those suckers launch out (ok guess if your rolling around in the dirt YMMV)

There's a long thread on them at 1911 forum under the Springfield category.

Sent my EMP40 in for custom work;
single sided safety (flatter fit at 4 oclock)
loose the locking main spring housing
front strap checkering
undercut the trigger guard
round butt (now who doesn't like those huh?
old eyes front sight (painting a white ring around the night sight)
heavy carry bevel for that bar of soap feel
custom trigger job

Man I'm jonesing to get her back!!! 8 more weeks!!

one of my best buds carries one everyday, while I prefer my Colt Commander, I really like his cute little EMP, Springfield hit a home run with that thing

I was eyein the Colt Com when I stumbled across the EMP, I knew little about the EMPs & went home & read everything I could on-em that night & the next day went back to the store & bought it heh heh.

I have a feeling that when you do shoot one, your consideration will end and you'll buy it. That's how it went down for me. It's very accurate, well made, and smooth shooting. Recoil is less than what you might expect. You could pay less and get a great gun, but you would not regret purchasing an EMP.

This was my exact experience..

I shot it for accuracy.. Dead on..
I shot it at speed.. The recoil is normal, but it recovers MUCH faster than you would expect. Double, triple taps were center mass.

Its a great pistol and if I had a CCW, the EMP would definitely be on the list of candidates..
