Just bought a 9mm Springfield EMP - Any words of wisdom

[bonnellt]

I just bought a 9mm Springfield EMP because of loved the way the gun looked and felt. Any words of wisdom on from any other owners.

I also like the way it looks. When I graduate out of the $500-$600 range of guns it is on my list. Springfield makes great guns, enjoy.

Total POS. I'll gladly take it off your hands.

I have no experience other than admiring them. Beautiful pistol!
Enjoy!!

Very nice gun, conceal great, almost I forgot to give it back to my friend at the range.

They are great guns, just make sure you run several mags of your self defense rounds through them. The EMP is the only Springfield I've shot that was somewhat finicky on the ammo ate.

Yeah: Buy a set of Horned Lizard grips from Larry Davidson. Lazza's Monkey Grips | Custom Grips by Larry Davidson

Buy several extra mags.

And beware of unintended double taps...

Did you just hit the lottery?

A high cut, non ILS MSH and 20lpi checkering makes it about perfect. Logman magazine mods and some HDC internals and slide stop for personnel taste. The double sided thumb safety also has to go IMO. Watch the SA website... magazines go on sale 3-4 times a year. Mine has eaten any and all ammo I feed it. I prefer Federal HST, Ranger T or TAP ammo and it shoots all accurately and reliably. Mine came with a glued ejector and came loose and bound the slide around 3500'ish rounds. Sent back and had pinned. Newer models I believe are now pinned from factory as should have been.

I seen lots of positive feedback but don't have one, I hope you really enjoy yours.

Thanks to everyone for sharing their knowledge/thoughts. I did a lot of research and spent a bundle on this beauty. She looks and feels better than I had anticipated. Can't wait to shoot her and will post about the results.

The EMP is my favorite 9mm handgun. Definitely high on my list to purchase! I have yet to shoot a SA I didn't love.

 

[bonnellt]

I agree. I am fairly new to the gun scene and very new to this forum. Have fell in love with the 1911s and this EMP particularly.

 

[DFM914]

Sweet gun! I am jealous.

 

[Colt556]

Welp, somebody has to say it....

 

[Ottboys3]

Have one in my sights! I like to keep similar chambers so right now no 9's, but I'm eventually gonna inherit a beautiful Belgium Browning Hi-Power from my pops and I want the wife to get an edc in 9, really loved my buddies springfield emp in 9mm!

 

[Indy_Guy_77]

Also, my formerly owned EMP didn't like Wolf steel cased ammo...

 

[rugertoter]

Congratulations on your new EMP! Wish I had the cash for one, but my wife would probably shoot me with it if I came home with one.
