Hello Fellows, I've been lwatching and waiting for a new stainless 1911 compact 9mm pistol that had been out long enough to have the bugs worked out and was receiving 99% positive reviews from it's owners. Well----Springfield Armory's new EMP (Enhanced Micro Pistol) appears to have succeeded in their quest to design a real 1911 compact pistol.
When the guys at the gunshop showed ti to me I knew it was mine so I now have a beautiful brand new EMP 9mm compact pistol. It was a little pricy --$1050+tax--, but what the he**** I'm retired and can afford it.
Anyway, I went back to the range immediately and after 100 rounds of Winchester 115 gr, FMJ's I tell you it was a delight. The little pistol performed flawlessly. It was very accurate, recoil was very soft and the trigger was very good. As a matter of fact I believe I'll let my wife try this little beauty as she is a very small woman only 5', 112 lbs and has very hands. She is conscious of the recoils of my other guns except the Walther P22 which she kinda likes to shoot. I've tried the 380's with no luck ----even the Colt gov which has a breech lock recoil system just like the big boys and has in my opinion as soft a recoil as you'll find in a center pistol. THAT IS---UNTIL NOW--- This gun has a very, very soft recoil. I compaired it to my M&P 9c and the EAA Witness Elite Limited 9mm which has an extremely light recoil but is too large and heavy for my wife, but now I'm anxious to have her try the Springfield EMP.
Any other EMP owners out their?
