Today, the 1911 design has nearly as many variants as there are other types of handguns.
This ranges from size and features to chambering.
Today, were taking a look at two 1911 variants chambered in 9mm thefull-sized Roninand the miniature EMP.
What are the differences in practical use?
Is one more accurate?
workhorse that has, in Springfield Armory fashion, some very nice extras baked in.
I encourage you to read Robert Sadowskisreview of the EMP Concealed Carry Contour9mm pistol.
Both pistols evaluated have a 9+1 capacity with the standard magazine.
The EMP on the other hand, is a much smaller package and weighs much less.
Accuracy is always a topic of interest when comparing a sub-compact pistol to a full-sized duty gun.
I tested both these guns on a CTK Precision pistol rest at 15 yards, using Fiocchi 124 gr.
FMJ and Hornady Critical Duty 135 gr.
This provides a nice contrast in ammunition types.
The EMP preferred the Hornady, with a 2.8 group of 5 and the best 3 at 1.2.
Off-hand shooting at 10 yards made consistent fist-sized groups with both guns and all ammo types used.
The EMP is ideal for deeper concealed carry, while also being excellent for home defense.
The standard night sights make it capable of a sight picture in the near-total darkness of a nighttime emergency.
Its lighter weight and shorter height are two specs that are crucial to CCWs.
