Is there some reason why the same people always have to recommend $1000 weapons because "they" don't like something if they didn't choose it? Several of my friends have the EMP, and ALL of them are having reliability problems with the little beastie. They were bought as they showed up on the shelves, early models. Seeing the problems that they've had, I couldn't honestly recommend the EMP as a self-defense weapon, unless you were going to use it as a bludgeon. A $1000 bludgeon.
I have a P11, and the trigger is a bear. However, if I find myself in a shoot-out that requires a couple of hundred rounds, there's other things to worry about. Like, where am I going to get the couple of hundred rounds? I shoot it 50 rounds at a sitting, and have so far avoided "palsy" with my soon to be 60-year-old hands. I'm still hitting the target at 15 yards, as well.
I also own a P32, and the trigger is MUCH lighter than my P11. It's small, light, and disappears into a pocket. Never missed a lick when shooting. I have found that I can also group quite well at 15 yards, now that I've practiced, and 50 rounds is quite easily fired, one after another.
I have a K-frame Model 10 from the late 1960s that has a trigger that feels like 10 miles of bad road. It's a factory trigger, right from S&W. I'd rather be shooting my P11 than that particular pistol. "Glass-Smooth", HAH!!
My suggestion is to try one out before buying anything. If you can afford an EMP, and can find one that's reliable out of the box, have at it. Same with the Kahr. Same with the Kel-Tec. One of the reasons that companies stay in business is because not everyone agrees on the worth of a particular handgun. Fit, and pointability are personal traits that are determined by physical properties, and not by listening to someone else glorify their choice.
and will only go down to $350
