I hate .40 cal. I seriously do.

However, yesterday I looked at a brand new EMP 3-inch in .40 with the G10 grips and fell in love.

I got to doing some more research, and it seems that the EMPs, specifically those in 9mm had issues. The .40 seems like they had a lot less issues.

I'd go for the 9mm, but I don't want an aluminum frame, and prefer the solid feel of the steel frame on the .40 S&W.

And I guess I should have at least one .40 cal gun, as all I run is 9 and 45.

I guess I'm just trying to find out if the issues have been worked out of the newer EMPs. ......specifically those in. 40 cal.

What issues are they having with the 9mm?  With SA having the CS they do and the warranty they offer I would still get the 9mm over the 10mm Kurz.

I have a 9mm EMP and have had ZERO issues with it. The 40's recoil a bit.

Wait for the 4" to come out.

There are a LOT of threads on 1911Forum of people bitching about them jamming and such.

I've never had any hiccups with my EMP 9. Not a single one.

Looking at the 4 inch now. I REALLY like it. Especially the front strap golf ball texture.

It'd be damn near perfect if they put night sights on it, rather than the fiber optics........or at least do a solid black rear and fiber optic front, instead of the white dot rear/fiber optic front.

My wife bought a EMP .40 about 3 years ago.  We have never had any problems with it other than not running 100% with some reloads that I had made for a different gun.  With factory ammo and my newer reloads it runs 100%.  She even shot a couple of USPSA matches with it just for fun.
