The EMP is over $1000 so I expect it to be a cut above standard 1911s. I wasn’t disappointed. The two-tone version with wooden grips is a beauty to behold. No discolorations or machining cuts I could see. And although it’s sub-compact with an aluminum frame (27 oz)…it feels super solidin your hands. The grip is only slightly grippy so it won’t snag...
Sub-compact guns aren’t very fun to shoot. But sub-compact guns with a nice aluminum frame AND in 9mm are a blast. It’s snappier than a full-sized gun. But with some heft at 27 oz (compared to 30 oz of a loaded Glock 19)…the EMP is super controllable and it’s easy to shoot through a bunch of mags. Quick mag segue…these mags from Mec-Gar feel really...
With 3″ of barrel…even a bull one…you’re not looking at laser like accuracy at 25 yards. We kept most of our shooting to CCW distances but still managed to hit a 100 yard IPSC torso sized plate around 30-40%. It’s a standard 3-dot sight system. And I’m glad it comes factory installed with night sights. We did the majority of our shooting with some ...
Smaller framed 1911s have the reputation of being unreliable. I’m really glad the EMP was 100% reliable with all 500 various rounds and mags we fed it. For a true carry gun I’d run it to the 1000 round count without malfunctions. But it’s well on its way.
Oh yes…I love upgrades. But for a carry gun I wouldn’t do anything to the gun itself…and not that it needs anything. If it’s more of a fun gun…I’d point you to my 1911 gunsmithing series: 1. 1911 Lowering Trigger Pull 2. 1911 Frame & Slide Break-In 3. 1911 Trigger Job Otherwise…there’s still a great option for lights with the Streamlight TLR-6. Thi...
You can’t forget holsters…especially if the EMP is likely going to be your CCW gun! We tested a couple of our go-to holster brands (Best Concealed Carry Holsters). Our favorite was the Hidden Hybrid Holsterappendix carry model. It took a little while to adjust retention of the gun, but worked great afterwards. Our normal go-to Crossbreed brand had ...

The Springfield EMP in 9mm is a reliable and beautiful 3″ 1911 but may be eclipsed by other CCW options for it’s capacity, weight, and high price. However the weight and caliber make it soft-shooting and fun at the range. But regardless…you can tell I like the Springfield EMP. So much so that I bought it after this test. It’s familiar to 1911 lover...

Jul 23, 2019 · It looks like something that the Army Marksmanship Unit turned out for Camp Perry: a no-nonsense, fully set-up target pistol that has everything you need to knock down steel or shoot bullseyes, and no silly additional window dressing. The Range Officer comes with an excellent adjustable rear sight… Courtesy Austin Knudsen.
