You get behind wheel, familiarize yourself with the controls, and take it for a spin.
Yes, Id buy the car.
But this isnt a gun intended for polite use.
Picking the gun up out of the box the most noticeable feature was how light the gun is.
Weighing in at 31 oz.
unloaded, this aluminum-frame gun wins high marks in the featherweight division.
The grip itself has a Posi-Lock front strap grip texture but smooth wooden grip plates.
While some prefer this smooth classic wooden plate style, I personally prefer a more aggressive texture.
For a concealed carry pistol this is a feature that I look for out of the gate.
An easy and quick change based on your anticipated needs and personal preference.
While usually an upgrade for most 1911s, the EMP-4 comes standard with an ambidextrous safety.
A vital component, in my opinion, to any contemporary 1911 concealed carry pistol.
This is an extremely wearable gun.
Initial observations of the sights proved true at the range.
Nor did I find the fiber optic to be too delicate for every day carry and hard use training.
TheOn Targettest sample came from Springfield perfectly zeroed out of the box.
The EMP 4 comes with three top-quality MEC-GAR 10-round magazines equipped with Slam Pad base plates.
These were surprisingly fantastic!
No issues and arguably the best combination of gun/mag that Ive run yet.
Ultimately, the best feature of this firearm is its versatility.
Its a very user-friendly firearm for new shooters and an easily customizable gun for experienced and picky ones.
