Thread requested for ongoing EMP discussions...
Nope. No cup and saucer the mag spring would have ended up through my hand. The EMP isn't a pocket pistol like my p238 Mustang clone, but with a thumbs forward grip, the heel of my left hand hangs off the grip. That's what got bruised and blackened.@igun
Wow, that's pretty crazy. Just curious, but does enough of your hands hang off the bottom of the EMP for your hand to be bruised when the mag blew out?? Never held one, wondering how small it really is...
Hopefully you're not using the Jack Bauer "Cup and saucer" technique, lol, j/k.
Was your ruptured .45 case a hand load? I was under the impression that .45 loads are relatively low pressure, so not likely to kB unless it's an accidental double charge.I just had a case explode like that in my TRP! But i have never had any issues in my EMP's! I like the pics for comparison between EMP(non supported vs. HK's (fully supported).
I don't find the recoil to be harsh at all. No problem firing controlled pairs even with one hand. I really like my EMP .40, and find myself shooting it more than any of my other guns. It just feels right.Originally Posted by rangemeister
Hey WellArmed, what is the recoil like on the 40 EMP? I had a 9 and now am looking at a 40. Is the recoil excessive? Thanks.
I don't think the recoil si bad at all. The frame on the 40 is steel instead of aluminum, so that helps some. I also put grip tape on the front strap, which helps keep the grip from squirming on me.
