I have been looking for a small 9mm that I really liked for a carry gun. I have tried a Diamondback, Taurus 709 Slim, Glock 26, Sig P938 (still have it), Sig P228, Glock 19, Sig P250 sub compact, and now have a M&P Shield. I asked my dealer to get me either the Shield or an XDs, whichever came in first. I really like the shield, but it's trigger pull sucks. ( I know you can put an Apex trigger in it and help that out). It's accuracy also suffers low and to the left. I took it to a shop today to have night sights put on it. They showed me a target of a shield that came in yesterday doing the same thing. Enough of that. I am thinking on an EMP 9mm next. For those of you that have one, how do you like it? Function, Accuracy, Etc.?
Thank You, Mark |

Second tacked post at top of this forum ("Picked one up....") has a pretty lengthy discussion.
Some people had some reliability issues (I am one) many others have found them flawless. Great overall pistol, but I don't use mine for CCW since reliability issues (appear fixed now) don't give me the "warm fuzzy" feeling of absolute trust I get from my Walther PPS or Sig p229. Walther PPS is a fantastic gun, surprisingly accurate, extremely reliable. I am VERY happy with it (and if you read up on it on the Walther section you will see almost universal agreement) |
| EMP 9mm owner here. I love mine. Crisp trigger, very accurate, just feels good overall. Mine eats just about any ammo. There are reports of some HP ammo having FTF issues with a dirty feed ramp, but I haven't personally experienced those issues. Great gun and my friends always want to shoot it when I bring it to the range. |

I've owned three EMP 40's and sold the snot out of the 9's, and I've not heard any negative feedback from my customers. I do, however, read quite often that the pistol may need a trip back to the mothership prior to running 100%, though mine have been great. Finding leather can be a little difficult as it's smaller than your traditional officers model. Accuracy is retarded good.
My shield shot low-left..... Until I let someone else shoot it. I was pulling a glock and yanking it. I would advise spending more trigger time with thee shield prior to abandoning ship. |
