Springer EMP

I have been debating on picking one up if I can source one. Was wanting some feedback from anyone that owns or have owned one. Thanks JC

SA EMP 9mm is my carry weapon, aluminum alloy receiver, steel slide, cross-cannons cocobolo grips. Mine is named "Sting." Small, tight, reliable, accurate & form-follows-function beautiful. So watch-like tight when new it needs about 200 rounds through it to loosen it up. If you don't do that and send it to the factory, they polish the feed-ramp, give it a kiss and promptly send it back to you all good-to-go. Did I mention it's beautiful?

my story is similar to QuietDan's.  SA EMP9, my carry weapon.  Same model as his.  Had it for a little over a year now.  It is a beautiful and tight pistol.  I have over 600 rounds through mine with zero issues.  It is incredibly accurate, and fun and easy to shoot.  short, single action trigger, very nice. 

Definitely needs the break-in period and needs to stay well lubed.  Most of the feedramps are coming polished now, but if you have feeding issues, SA will help clean those up as well.

found that mine shoots just about any FMJ ammo and I run Speer Gold Dot 147gr hollow points. 

 

Great investment if you like a compact 1911 style platform.  Oh, by the way, the EMP is not just a scaled down 1911, it was specifically designed around the 9mm cartridge and has 15 newly engineered parts to help make it ultra reliable for that shell.

I've had my EMP40 for almost 2years. It's been accurate and dependable.

Love my 9mm EMP.  Mine had feeding issues with hollow points after a 600 round break-in, so back to Springfield it went.  After they polished the feed ramp and opened up the chamber, it runs like a Glock.  I wore it today in a kydex IWB holster while running a weed eater for three hours while helping my friend mow his boss' 20 acre yard.  Probably the best carry gun I've ever owned, and I've had a few.

Love mine. For all the above reasons.
