Default To trade or not to trade......?
This guy on another forum has a Springfield EMP in 40 cal up for trade. He claims it is unfired and in great condition. I have my Mimber that I can offer up for trade but, I have never had a .40. Does anyone know if this EMP is a good pistol in 40 cal? My Kimber has run flawlessly and is one of my favorite pistols so- its difficult to offer it up. Lol...

Check it out..... http://www.floridaconcealedcarry.com...ox-never-fired

Yeah I am not impressed with .40 either. Straight to 10.

3" 1911's can be problematic
.40's recoil snaps with muzzle flip
recoil springs have to be changed frequently..and there are 2 of them IIRC

Man, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that 's not a fan of the .40. I sold all my .40's except for my P229.
So, to answer your question, I personally wouldn't wouldn't trade.
