Overview

The Springfield 1911 EMP (Enhanced Micro Pistol) is engineered specifically for the .40 S&W cartridge, featuring a shortened slide and a ramped barrel that ensures flawless feeding. The G-10 grips provide a positive, secure purchase, even in wet conditions. This isn’t a scaled-down 9mm frame adapted for a different round; it is a purpose-built firearm that delivers a full-size shooting experience in a package that rides comfortably on your hip or in an IWB holster. The overall fit and finish are typical of Springfield Armory: tight, clean, and ready for the range or daily carry.

Features & Specs

Every aspect of the springfield 1911 emp 40 s&w centerfire pistol with g-10 grips is built with the shooter in mind. From the forged slide to the crisp trigger, this pistol rewards consistent practice. Here are the standout elements:

• Chambering and Barrel: Chambered in .40 S&W with a 3-inch forged stainless steel barrel. The fully supported ramped barrel is a critical feature for reliable feeding with this high-pressure cartridge.
• Grips and Ergonomics: Equipped with aggressive VZ G-10 grips that lock into your hand. The EMP-specific frame has a reduced circumference for smaller hands, but still fits larger paws comfortably due to the slim profile.
• Sights and Controls: Low-profile three-dot sights with a dovetail front and rear. The thumb safety is positive and audible, and the slide release is easy to reach without adjusting your grip.
• Trigger and Action: Single-action trigger with a clean 5-pound break. The short reset allows for fast follow-up shots, making it a highly effective defensive tool.
• Capacity and Weight: Comes with two 9-round magazines. Unloaded weight is approximately 27 ounces, making it heavy enough to tame recoil but light enough for all-day carry.
