I just bought the EMP 4 in the Concealed Carry Contour version. And it is just a great pistol which I wanted ever since they came to the gunshops.
It is a scaled-down 1911. They reduced many dimensions yet kept the basic 1911 design, to include the swinging link under the barrel. And it all works. It is an easy gun to shoot, the recoil is not bad, and it shoots more accurately than I will ever do.
Here is the mystery: When I pull back the hammer manually, I get 3 clicks. Not 2 clicks like every 1911 ever made. It has two clicks and two hammer positions before getting to full cock. The full-cock position is click number 3.
The diagram in the manual is not for this version of the EMP, as I can tell by the fact that pistol doesn't have a built-in lock, yet the diagram shows it. It may be that the other EMP versions do have this lock.
So, comrades in 9mm shooting, I ask if your EMP versions (3-inch barrel, or the 4-inch which is not the CCC) have three hammer positions.
