    Not a bad price, I paid that about 10 months ago out the door.

    Yeah it is a pretty decent price. I'm in the market for a small 1911 for a CCW, but I'm having a hard time spending over a grand on a 9mm. I'm sure by the time I make up my mind they'll be out of stock anyway!

    Take a look on forum.m1911.org there are quite a number of satisfied EMP owners.

    I'm extremely pleased with my EMP. It is a fantastic pistol for what it's designed to be – small, lightweight, easily carried, and a 1911. It’s not much bigger than my Airweight snub, although almost twice the weight.

    I was looking for a compact 1911 for a while and narrowed it down to a Kimber Ultra Aegis or EMP. After seeing the Aegis and EMP side-by-side, the choice was clear. I also considered a Colt Agent 45, but the fit of the EMP or Aegis is so much better.

    When I first field stripped and cleaned it I noticed that the slide has the last three digits of the serial number etched on it, probably indicating that the slide was fitted to this particular frame (later confirmed by Springfield Customer Service).

    Accuracy has been excellent; it shoots better than I do. Recoil was not as bad as I thought it would be considering the 3” barrel. I had no trouble controlling the pistol and felt that recovery was at least as good as my G19.

    I definitely noticed a difference in the smoothness as it breaks in. This is one of the most well fit firearms I’ve ever had the pleasure to handle. If you briskly shake the EMP with the magazine out, there is NO Rattling AT ALL! The fit and finish is fantastic! Again, I'm extremely pleased with the EMP.

    The EMP is a tad smaller, thinner, and lighter. But not by much.
