I have an EMP in .40 and was wondering how often the recoil spring needs to be replaced? I have heard that small 1911's go through recoil springs quickly. Any other other maintenance or springs/parts replacements I need to do at certain round counts? Any other helpful tips about this gun? Thanks!

-Springers do pretty well, actually. You're GTG for 2-3k, and I've seen some last longer. Some people change the FP spring with the recoil spring
-The EMP is notorious for having its ejector become unglued and jamming up the slide |

If it breaks, SA will replace/pin it under warranty.

I'm not really familiar with it and got mine from a friend who is selling off part of his collection. |

If you get a good one they are great. If not keep sending it back to Springfield till it is.
There is a huge thread above that has all the info you need. Mine is 9mm and runs great. |

A certain girl in CS at SACS uses one as her EDC. That's why I bought mine.

The original owner put about 400 rounds through it and he said he had no problems with factory ammo but the gun didn't like his reloads. I put 200 rounds factory ammo through with no failures at all so it must be good. Hopefully I'll get a chance to get to the range and do some more testing but I feel pretty confident because of this.
