The Springfield Armory 1911 EMP delivers full-size 1911 performance in a compact frame specifically engineered for shorter cartridges. This stainless steel pistol combines traditional 1911 reliability with modern manufacturing precision for concealed carry and duty applications.
What Makes This Different
The EMP (Enhanced Micro Pistol) features a scaled-down frame proportioned specifically for 40 S&W cartridges, unlike standard 1911s adapted from 45 ACP dimensions. The stainless steel construction provides superior corrosion resistance compared to carbon steel alternatives. Springfield's proprietary forging process creates a frame 0.125 inches narrower than standard 1911s while maintaining structural integrity rated for +P ammunition.Key Features
