This is my favorite CCW. It has a slim profile and does not print, but is large enough to be shot comfortably. I have also used this pistol at speed shooting competitions without any issues.

Excellent pistol. I had the previous version of the EMP, and this one fits my hand much better. The bobbed off grip makes a big difference. I've shot it with several different types of ammo and it shoots them all well.

Perfect as a carry 1911 style pistol. Very reliable have only fired 50 rds without a problem. Quality firearm. This is my 3rd Springfield 1911 purchase from Buds and won't be my last. Buds is my go to dealer always fast shipping, good prices.

Buds is the best online firearms dealer I have dealt with. Great little carry pistol and I find it hard to resist bobtailed 1911 style pistols. Have somewhere around 500 rounds through it now and no issues. Fit, finish, form and function come together for me in this weapon. This is my carry weapon of choice. There are higher capacity weapons, this one fills me with confidence that if I have to draw it I will hit what I am aiming at and won't need an extra 6 rounds.

I have held in hand many different compact and commander sized 1911's, and find the Springfield EMP4 Concealed Carry Contour model to be the most natural and pleasurable to grip. From the first moment I held one, I had to have it. It fits in my hand perfectly, and I really like the G10 grips. The bob-tail contour helps in grip comfort by eliminating the bite experienced from the grip tail. Fit, finish and machining are exceptional and free from any significant, noticeable flaws. The slide is appropriately tight and without rattle. Thumb safety functions perfectly. Trigger-pull weight subjectively feels a little on the heavier side, but pulls cleanly for the most part and has a crisp breaking point. So far at the range I have put 40 rounds of 124 Grain American Eagle FMJ and 50 rounds of 115 Grain Federal FMJ through it accurately and without any malfunctions. Point of aim matched point of impact. I will be testing various types of self-defense rounds during my next trip to the range. My only criticism so far is the spring capture tool included in the case appears to be a harder metal that can have propensity to scar the 4140 reverse spring/rod plug. I have adapted my method of take down to capture the spring after first removing the slide, and removing the capture tool before returning the slide to the frame. An alternative tool for spring capture made from softer metal, such as a simple clip, or inclusion of a thin nylon washer to protect the spring plug finish may also be worthwhile to try. Overall, the firearm is a beautiful. I am more than satisfied with it and could not be happier.

Ordered on Friday and called on Monday that it was ready to be picked up! Fantastic shipping and response time from Bud’s as always!! The bobtail grip is more comfortable than I thought it would be. It is my second EMP from Springfield. Will continue to do buisness with Bud’s in the future. Always the lowest price I can find and I received the gun in perfect condition!! 5 Star service as usual!

I love this pistol and I am absolutely more accurate with it than all other pistols I own or have shoot. Before I cleaned it the first time I had zero problems after 750 rounds. For self-defense, do not use bullets with a composite (like Hornaday anything) or the gun will jam. Hollow points are fine. The down side is reassembling it after cleaning. The instructions are poor and so are the reviews online skip this step. Trying to hold the male piece back on the safety while inserting the pin back in is difficult but not impossible. Overall this gun is awesome. A near perfect 9mm 1911!

This is an excellent 1911 pistol from Springfield Armory! The accuracy and reliability are superior which is even the more fascinating considering it's a relatively small hand gun. It's actually small enough to fit in my pocket but large enough to be a viable self defense firearm. It will be my primary concealed carry weapon for self defense. I also really like the contour cut or "Bobtail" feature on the handle with the G10 grips. It also has many other upgraded features. In addition, the service and price from Buds Gun shop was excellent. Bud's price was the lowest I could find for this firearm. I highly recommend both!!

First time Bud's customer. Purchasing experience was excellent .. exactly how it should be. Ordered the gun from Bud's on a Wed... it arrived at my FFL dealer the following Mon. Put 200 rounds through the gun one week after ordering it. I highly recommend Bud's and the Springfield 9mm EMP4 Contour Carry.

After purchasing many hand guns from Bud's, I will continue to. Good prices most of the time, and delivery is great. Thanks Bud's.

The first time I laid eyes on this pistol in The Complete Book of the 1911, I knew I had to have it. I don't know why but it just speaks to me. I had already bought the Citadel 1911 in 9mm. I like it a lot. I hope 9mm 1911's haven't spoiled it for my 4 other 1911's in 45acp. There is just something primal, visceral and right about holding and shooting a 1911. The EMP4 with bobtail carry contour has been as rare a beast as a conservative democrat since the beginning of the year. I was on wait list for one on several etail gun stores including this one. I just happened to be up early one morning last week and was checking out Bud's and lo and behold there it was in stock. More than I wanted to pay and probably more than it really is worth but when you have to have something...Had it in my hands in 4 days with a weekend in between ordering and receiving. The pelican style case is a nice touch I guess. Great almost bomb proof way to ship it. Three 9 rnd mags in the case. They have 10rnd mags available thru the SA store (?) Fit and finish on my gun is flawless as it should be for the price. Gun fits my med to large size hands perfectly. The bobtail is a very nice feature for hand fit and CCW carry. I've test fit a 1911 or two to my hands only to have the sharp edge of the pistol grip dig into the meat of my palms. While not a deal breaker it was certainly uncomfortable. No worries about that with this gun. Ran 115gr ball thru all 3 mags w/o any issues. Just starting to work on ladder tests for accuracy loads. It's not a target gun with a 4"bbl and fixed rear sight but I got a 4" group off sand bags at 17yds with a handload. I was hoping for better but like I said just getting started with ammo testing. Not sure of exact weights but it's a lot lighter than the Citadel 5" 1911 in 9mm and that's good and bad. Good for carry and keeping your britches up but bad for recoil control with full house defensive ammo. Trigger is a little heavier than I would ultimately like but breaks clean. No take up or crunchiness. Ambi thumb safeties are a nice touch and a personal requirement for me in considering any defense or competition pistol. The serrations and scalloping look very aggressive but they are there for a purpose and they work well without taking off any skin in the process. Light pipe fiber optic front sight with two white dot rear. Some extra and different color pipes in bag with allen wrench for rear site and another tool that looks like an allen wrench but is actually a pin for capturing the reversing plug and guide rod for take down. This works really well and the pin hole in the guide rod is exactly where it needs to be instead of just being an afterthought. Gun comes with minimal oil inside and out. First shuck of the slide was a little rough. I field stripped the gun, cleaned the bbl which had been test fired. Lubed the rails and locking lugs and the next slide shuck was MUCH BETTER. Smooth like it shoulda been the first time. All in all a very nice gun with impeccable construction, great lines and feel, and runs like a sewing machine.
