Springfield EMP 40 S&W The Good? The Bad?

[Herndon's Gun & Ammo]

Any advise or points of interest from someone with experience with this small handgun.

I have the 9mm. I LOVE IT! I never thought I would say that about a 9. But it's nice to have a smaller 1911 to carry now and then. I would think the .40 would be a little more snappy, but if it's not your first trip to the rodeo, you won't mind a bit.

Subscribing: Those are interesting little guns.

I carry one daily. It is snappier than the 9, but not bad. Great gun. I carry in a Crossbreed Supertuck or Galco Stinger. The 40 is heavier, due to the steel frame. The 9 has an alloy frame. Nice sites. Good trigger. Reliable. Accurate for a 3" barrel. I like mine.

I shot the 9mm and not only could I get better groups than my glock 19, it had less recoil too.

I love to hear that...I just ordered the Crossbreed Super Tuck the same time I ordered the Pistol...Is the Holster comfortable???

Most comfortable holster I have ever owned. I buy them for every gun I intend to carry.

I think you'll be happy with both. Let us know when you get them.

I have always carried a Colt Combat Commander (approximately 10 years) in paddle holster. Love the thing to death! Looking forward to this little thing hope it turns out to be better than expected. Thanks for the input!

I carried a Kimber Pro Tactical in a Galco Summer Comfort IWB for about 4 years. I went to the EMP in a crossbreed and have been very happy.

Out of curiosity, why are you making the change?

I own a gun store ( sorry not suppose to say that here...) but...I see alot of stuff if you know what I mean. After getting a little fatter and doing more driving, I thought this would be a good replacement for my old faithfull, and maybe even more comfortable.
