The Berettaprofessor broke down and purchased a brand-new Springfield EMP 9 that his eye has been on for some period of time. The loving feel if it in his hand and the solid weight at extension was finally too much to turn aside. But, after shooting today, I've got a couple of questions.
The first mag was a stovepipe almost every round...no round chambered on recoil. The second and third mags were not much better. At the 4th, it ran flawlessly and continued for 2 more mags. I was using cheap AE FMJ 115's. Is this common to the EMP pistols? I guess I've been a little spoiled by the Berettas. It shoots, by the way, very very accurately, no complaints there, and I love the trigger and feel.
Second question: I've read two different conflicting ideas; that the mags are 9+1 (from the manual) and that the mags are 8+1 (from the website). They do insert a little easier with 8+1; need to be really slapped in place at 9+1. What is correct for the factory mags? Thanks.
