johnsons1480 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I don't see any commercially available, but is anyone making a 10 round mag for the 9mm Springfield EMP? As long as it runs, I don't care if it's someone welding tubes together in their garage and telling me which springs and followers to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quack Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 You can ask "logman" on the 1911 forum. He's been making them flush, which requires welding, but is the added cost (2 mags + labor) really worth it to get 1 extra round in the mag?

I guess that would depend on how many 10-round mags the extra mag could make. If it would require two 9-round mags for every one 10-round mag, then no. But if I can get six 10-round mags out of eight 9-round mags, then maybe. I guess I would have to talk to him. Do you have an email address? You can PM it to me if you do. I'm not a member at the 1911 forum, but I suppose I can sign up if you don't have any contact info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnsons1480 Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 I signed up on the 1911 forum and sent him a message. Thank you for pointing me in his direction! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatJones Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Why do you need 10 round mags? Are you planning on using it for single stack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsons1480 Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 Why do you need 10 round mags? Are you planning on using it for single stack? I was hoping to. He doesn't do 10 round mags, just in case someone stumbles on this later and tries to go down the same road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRick Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Apparently Springfield makes a a 10 round mag that will fit the EMP. http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/showthread.php?t=1147835 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quack Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Would you look at that. I haven't had an EMP in years, so haven't looked at them since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsons1480 Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 I called Springfield twice yesterday and spoke to two different people who denied the existence of a 10 round, 9mm EMP magazine. I called MecGar and left a message, but didn't receive a call back. If anyone knows about these things, they're certainly holding it close to their chest. I did sign up for the Gear Up and Go promotion, so maybe I'll end up with a couple of 10 rounders through that program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quack Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Looks like that 10rd mag is actually from the new EMP 4 "For over 100 years, the 1911 pistol design has earned high praise for its near-perfect ergonomics, reliability, and effectiveness. Springfield Armory® engineered the original EMP® with an all-new patented short action. Seventeen re-designed parts later, the EMP® came out a smaller, more comfortable, and more concealable package optimized for the smaller 9MM and .40SW calibers. Among the community of those who know, it has earned a reputation as one of the most shootable compact pistols ever. The all-new 4" Lightweight Champion™ offers a longer four-inch barrel that presents increased sight radius and more practical accuracy. Let's not forget the extra velocity the longer barrel adds to any given cartridge. Better yet, the EMP® 4" offers an extra half inch of height, providing plenty of room for a strong and positive grip. The EMP® 4" is loaded with extras like a fiber optic front sight and two-dot, low-profile combat rear sight for effortless target acquisition. Ambidextrous safety levers, a match-grade barrel, and Posi-Lock™ grip texture to the front strap add extra high value benefits for the serious shooter. Not only is the new EMP® 4" a controllable gun, it packs ten rounds (in 9mm) plus one more in the chamber. That's in a slender single stack pistol, not a thicker double stack design. In fact, the new EMP® 4" offers the same reduced grip circumference that made the original so successful. Looks aren't everything, but the Cocobolo wood grips and two-tone forged stainless steel slide and black anodized aluminum (9MM) or Carbon Steel Black Armory Kote™ (.40SW) frame make the EMP® a looker sure to turn heads at the range. But you know it's what's under the covers that counts. While the EMP® 4" might be the perfect carry gun, it's new size makes it ideal for home defense, concealed carry or a little fun at the range. Pick one up at your local gun store. You'll feel the difference." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsons1480 Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 Saw that this morning. That must have been why they were denying the 10 round mag's existence. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
