I have had my EMP 40 for five years, now, and I like it as much as my Colt 45. Both guns are beautiful and shoot great.
This little gun is … in a word, beautiful.
I have just recently, 2 1/2 months ago, purchased the EMP 40 and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!! It has the nicest “feel” of any larger caliber pistol I have ever had the pleasure of firing. I have never trusted a gun to be my EDC gun without putting at least 500 rounds through it……that is until now. I realize many people will tell me I’m “stupid” and/or “crazy” for trusting a firearm that I haven’t put enough rounds through yet because any gun can have issues but it just has a “feel” to it that I can’t explain. I trust it and hopefully I will never have to trust my life to it but if I do, again hopefully, I will have over 500 rounds through it by then but even if I don’t, I have little to no doubt that it will fire and feed exactly as I expect. This gun is crisp, the slide cycles so quickly and completely that there is just no way I can see it having any issues feeding. I have yet to try other types of ammo but so far the Winchester 180gr FMJ and Hornady Critical Duty 175gr has fired flawlessly. I have a Sig Sauer P938 that I love and even that doesn’t cycle as smoothly or give me the same level of trust as the EMP does. I paid more for this than any of my other pistols and I would pay double what I paid for this level of trust this gun gives me. Being a combat Veteran(Iraq) I know that trust in your equipment and your abilities gives you the confidence needed to enter the battle and KNOW you can win. I can’t say enough good about this firearm. I’ve said a lot already but I’ll end with this; if you are looking for a compact pistol, a pistol to carry everyday, open or concealed, you won’t go wrong with this firearm. This is just my personal opinion but I think this is the PERFECT firearm for me and I’m sure most everyone that has ever fired this firearm will agree.
I just bought a emp4 contour in 40. I thought I would like it but I shot 200 rounds of fmj and I couldn’t fire 5 shots without a failure to feed.
Intimidated and don’t know where to start with radio? This book is the perfect guide to what options you have i.e. GMRS, CB, to ham and basic communication topics.
