I use to have a plain Jane EMP40 that I didn't do anything to. But I have seen a lot of really awesome looking customized EMPs. If you've done any cosmetic work or modifications to your EMP, let's see some pics!

Looks great so far. I see a wider magwell, grips, trigger and hammer. What all have you done to it?

Smith and Alexander Magwell. Had to open up the mouth with a dremel and hand work to get the mags to seat.

What the blazes! Looks nice. Did you have to disable the built in lock in the backstrap? Or here's a better question: does anybody use the built in lock on an EMP. (I forget mine has one )

It is one piece - mainspring housing and magwell. Replaces the factory housing with the lock.

All these so called modifications/improvements and they in the end count for what? Does the pistol shoot straighter? Further? More reliably? I don't think so. I usually change out the recoil spring, factory usually 16-18lbs, a 14lb or even 12 makes it shoot without all the recoil or muzzle flip. Change out the mainspring to reduce the trigger pull. At the distance for CCW a red dot on such a short barrel is money down the drain. Actually a better choice is an striker fire pistol. Lots of practice and the best 9mm ammunition for self defense carries a great deal or weight, cost little.

the best thing I ever did for my Emp and my M&P core .

I shoot the EMP way faster and more accurately and can maintain a single focal point view no more front sight rear sight target... 3 point focal points ..

My EMP is a tack driver when my eyes were younger the RMRcc has made my tired eyes fall back in love with the EMP.

Also why I moved to open division in USPSA.
