My emp 3 is from 2007. I am third owner. Free work on feed ramp, sights and free shipping back and forth. I love this company. Fast response. I emailed CZ two weeks ago with no reply yet.

I haven’t shot mine CA version yet but initially I was trying to put all 9 rd in, and if the slide wasn’t locked back, it’s like I need to slam the mag into the gun, and then I tried to let the slide in slowly, it cause the critical defense dive nose and jammed, and I must have either using the slide release or pull the slide all the way to the back so it feeds. And I saw many saying they can’t put all 9 rds in with the closed slide unless slamming the pad

Just got my emp today. Went to the range. Love the way it shoots. I like it more than the hellcat pro. But the ammo jammed multiple times during my first 50 round with federal ammo 115 grain. I can recall at least 5 times. And only 8 rounds for my 9 round mag 😂

I would say it is an ammo issue. 9mm 1911s sometimes require longer rounds, think something like 147 grain versus 115. Now, not all higher grains are longer bullets. Wilson for instance suggests heavier grain bullets since those cartridges are longer. Longer rounds don't get hung up on the frame.

Ronin full size is a steel frame gun. That’s why they have the feed ramp on the frame. A feed ramp on an aluminum frame (ronin Emp) will be more likely to get damaged from hollow points. The barrel on the Emp is not aluminum. Which is why they have a feed ramp on the barrel instead of the frame.

I have 2 Ronin 3in and the 4in and both have been sent back for warranty work. The first was the 4in after I got it back it took it to the range and wow it is a totally different shooter now so much better but I havent taken the 3in back to the range yet. The 3in was supposed to be my EDC so glad I took it to the range before I carried it and it not function. Both had the same problem would no take hollow points at all and all the feed jams. The 3in was by far the worse failure to extract the spent round and trying to feed the next. T he 3in would even push the factory mag back out after the first shot. Springfield customer service has been awesome but I dont think this should be happening to a gun that has been produced by a manufacturer that has been making them for as long as they have

My EMP 3 (not a Ronin) older model is very finicky about ammo. Feeds and shoots flawlessly with Winchester 124 grain NATO. FTF with many 115 grains.

You will be Fine .long as you are the Frist buyer of the gun. U probably have to ship it back for warranty repair. Wild they (SA) have it if you have the money let them do the upgrades like Magwell front checkering and NIGHT SIGHTS like on the TRP

Beautiful gun and shoot great. Just too many reliability issues to be a carry gun.

EMP has some issues for sure. Loved the looks but had to let it go...

Whenever I purchase a new pistol of any type I do not load the mags fully. Springs need to break in. They wear from use. Simply leaving them loaded doesn’t matter. Springs need to be sprung and unsprung for wear. I’ll load until I feel resistance then stop. Usually after a few mags of shooting I can fully load them. I’m not saying this was your issue, just a habit I’ve picked up over the years. That ledge between the barrel and ramp would concern me too. Springfield will do you right.
