I just bought a new EMP in 9mm. I will be taking it to the range shortly this morning. I also have a new M&P 40c I bought a few weeks ago I need to shoot, may take it also. Any comments on the EMP.

Yeah, I have one comment on the EMP; and that is

Congrats on the purchase Skip. They are AWESOME guns. That is my next planned pistol purchase if I can scrape up the $$$.

Let us know how you like it!!!

Thanks Keith. I hear ya about scraping up the money. I just happened to have a little stashed away. I saw it at the Hewitt Gun Shop and watched it for a few days before I bought it.

The people at Hewitt are really nice folks. When I was there in 2007 for the National Balloon Championship I visited them and really enjoyed their company!

And we DOOOOOO need pictures!!

You should see the store now Keith. They expanded it 3 fold. It is by far the nices gun store in my area and they have the largest selection to. Next time your down here for an event let me know and I'll buy lunch. Longhorn I'll try and get some pic's posted tonight. Fixin to leave for the range. I'll give an update this afternoon.

I am interested in the EMP as well. Let us know how it shoots!

Just got back from the range. I am one very happy camper with the EMP I took two other pistol's with me, a S&W 642 and a S&W M&P 40c (compact) I shoot the 642 but didn't get around to the .40. After shooting the EMP I fired a few round's through the 642 and decided to shoot the EMP some more. I really like that gun. It is worth every penny I paid for it. I'm not a new shooter, I've been around a while and have shoot all my life. Two tours in Vietnam and Police work after I got out of the Army. I know guns and I love this EMP. Now I have to go about the business of cleaning them.

I somehow knew you were gonna like it Skip!

Congrats again and give us an update after you've had her for awhile and she is broken in!

Will do bud and when ya get down this way I'll let you shoot it.

Congratulations, Skip, the EMP is a really fine pistol.

Thank you for your report and will be looking forward to the pictures. Keep us updated.

I too love the EMP pistol. I love the idea of a 1911 chambered in 9mm. I don't like the cost or the recoil from the .45acp. I have already done the 1911 thing and I like the way the pistol feels and the controls and everything, just not the .45. Does anyone other than Para and Springer EMP make a 9mm 1911? If so THAT is my next purchase. I know Para makes them, but they are hard to get my hands on, but reasonably priced I think.

Kimber makes a few in 9mm, but they are a bit pricier.

That is what I was afraid of...

And if you want to drool some more over even more expensive pistols, here ya go: http://www.wilsoncombat.com/handgun-index.asp. All of the Wilson 1911s are available in 9mm except the Bill Wilson Carry Pistol and the Hunter.

Nighthawk makes at least one 1911 in 9mm: http://www.nighthawkcustom.com/detail.aspx?ID=160.

STI offers most of their models in 9mm, also: http://www.stiguns.com/.

But closer to earth-like prices, Springfield also offers a full-size model in 9mm. One of the EMP's claims to fame is its almost complete redesign to get it as small as it is. But you can get a sweet Springer Loaded stainless in 9mm (model PI19134LP).
