the naked prophet,
I understand your position, but suggest that you do not walk away from the EMP too quickly.
I too am a Glock man... or perhaps a former Glock man... with a history of neglecting my firearms, including my carry Glock 19. Like yourself, I went long periods and many rounds through my Glock without much more than an occasional quick lubrication. And I could do that with confidence that the Glock's reliability would remain 100%. I still have that Glock 19 and two other Glocks as well, but they have not been out of my safe in quite some time.
I now carry and shoot 1911 firearms almost exclusively, and my go-to carry gun (and frequent IDPA gun as well) is the EMP.
True, I have to keep the EMP cleaner and lube it a bit more often, but that extra effort is paid back by the superior feel and performance of the EMP. It is well worth it, at least to me.
Before dismissing the EMP outright, put a few rounds through it and see how it feels on your hip. You might find it worth keeping clean.
