Yes, i agree with you about wanting a cadillac. I have a inexpensive CCW 9mm, its a polymer gun, i have had nothing but bad luck with it. I have sent it back three time already in the last two months, so i do not trust it. One was for a cracked frame, one was a broken ejector, another for the front site falling off. I am not shooting any +P type ammo, just regular store bought, GDHP, WIN, SPEER stuff.If you want one because you simply want one, go for it. They're handsome guns, feel great in the hand, conceal well. Spotty Internet reputation to be sure. If you want one because you are looking for a CCW, there are less expensive, more reliable options out there. People generally don't buy a Cadilac because they need a car. They buy one because they like the car. Single-stack 9mm.....Sig 239, PPS, Sheild, XDs, HK P7 all would be great reliable choices.
I started a second thread on THR where i am comparing the SA EMP with the SIG P938 and CZ P-01 or PCR.
I am really set on a all metal CCW capability in 9mm. I know "you get what you pay for" but I also expect to "get what i Paid for" so it is interesting to see that all guns have problems. I am hopeing to find that happy medium of price and quality (reliability).
