Yup,
I've got one and it is accurate and has never missed a beat reliability wise, not once. I'm quite happy with it.

I have the EMP4 in 9mm. While they are pricey, they are really great shooting guns. I hear the steel frame of the 40 shoots a lot like the alloy frame of the 9mm.

I have an EMP 3" in 9mm. I like it a lot and carry it often. I thought the .40 may be a little much in a weapon that small and light.
The 9MM EMP has an alloy frame while the 40 S&W EMP has a carbon steel frame and a stainless slide. The 40 is heavier and tames recoil better.
Many years ago my agency tested both when we were considering changing duty guns. They shoot good, but are a bit heavy.

I have an EMP .40 4". It is quickly becoming the answer to the old question "If you could only have one pistol what would it be?" Accurate and reliable without a flaw. I am a lefty and found that the ambi safety was too narrow on the right side and I missed it on a fast out of holster presentation. Called SA, the EMP will take many of the same parts as any 1911. Solution was the installation of a Cylinder and Slide wide ambi safety. It is pretty close to the best pistol I own and I own a good many quality handguns. It gets carried nearly every day.
