I know it's a long shot, but looking for one of these:

Would prefer like new, local FTF sale - maybe you don't like yours after you bought it or know someone that doesn't.
Thanks!

Negative, that's the original 3" EMP.
Looking for new 4" EMP. Thanks.

Not local, but GunsAmerica has several in case you want to expand your search parameters.

If you find one please post a review on it. I am looking at the same pistol, considering getting one.

ive been looking for one local to fondle a bit, no one seems to have them in stock.
just fyi, i've read a lot of issues on the 1911 forum requiring them to be sent back to have the ejector pinned.

Saw that, apparently someone thought it would be a good idea to 'glue' the ejector in (probably the bean counters).
Not sure that loose ejectors were always the reason they went back, but I do know that Springfield is pinning the ejector on every pistol that goes back.... as a matter of course.

AR had a good story on them in this month's issue...

I wrote Springfield C/S this morning inquiring if newly manufactured EMP4 pistols will the leave factory with pinned ejectors or if they even consider this a 'problem'. I do know that they are pinning every pistol that goes back to them (for any reason).
Hopefully, I will receive a reply in the coming days.
