After watching and debating for some time I finally jumped and bought myself a birthday present for my 75th BD last week. I am a long time 1911 fan in any caliber it can be had in. I already had two RIAs in .40 and one high end custom job on a RemSport frame. I have developed a real affinity for the .40SW round. The new EMP is great. I am a lefty and found the ambi safety to be too small to hit reliably with my left thumb on a draw so I had my Smithy install a Cylinder and Slide Wide Ambi-safety, works great. The more I shoot it the better I like it, the trigger is very good and if I do my part it is a very accurate pistol. I am certainly not the shot I once was but after a little familiarization I can keep all my shots in the A zone of an IPSC target at 25 yards and on my 9" gong at the same distance. It is fast becoming my EDC. If anyone is debating the purchase of the 4" EMP my advice is do it. Keep shootin' and check six.
