Thanks for the insight. I'm looking at one. It fits me well and I was just looking to see what others had to say.
I don't know what grips come on the new ones mine has the g10 grey grips I really like them. I also sent mine back to the custom shop at springfield and had a trigger job, front grip serrations, and a GI safety installed. Really improved the pistol.
Nice to know it can be improved. I look forward to picking mine up. Thanks!
The EMP was the first pistol I bought myself in the Army when I turned 21, and the first pistol I carried as well. I honestly blame the stupid holster I had for "not liking how it felt carrying"....as I didn't know as much back then about carrying and proper holsters.
I loved the gun though. I thought it shot really well, and felt great. Since it was designed from the ground up as a 9mm, it never seemed to have some of the feeding issues that other 9mm 1911's had.
The only thing I can remember was it did NOT like hot rodded Underwood defensive ammo. Had trouble extracting and I think one blew a primer too. That same ammo fired just fine out of my glock.

I been carrying one for years and love it. I carry it OWB in a Wilson Combat sharkskin holster and you honestly cant tell its there. I did add a S&A magwell to mine and i had to make minor mods to the basepads because of it.
Picked mine up and it is pretty sweet. Now to get it out and run s9me thru it...
