Springfield Armory 1911 EMP 9mm 3" CA Compliant Black Cocobolo

The Springfield Armory 1911 EMP CA Compliant delivers full-size 1911 performance in a compact 3-inch package specifically engineered for California's handgun roster. This enhanced micro pistol combines traditional 1911 craftsmanship with modern manufacturing precision for concealed carry applications.

What Makes This Different

The EMP (Enhanced Micro Pistol) features a scaled-down frame and slide proportioned specifically for the 9mm cartridge, unlike standard 1911s adapted from .45 ACP dimensions. The stainless steel slide receives a black hardcoat anodized finish for enhanced corrosion resistance and reduced glare. California compliance includes a loaded chamber indicator and magazine disconnect safety while maintaining the crisp 1911 trigger pull.

Key Features

• 3-inch stainless steel barrel with supported chamber and fully ramped design
• Black hardcoat anodized stainless steel slide with low-profile combat sights
• Crossed Cannon cocobolo wood grips with Springfield Armory logo
• 9+1 capacity with flush-fit magazine and extended magazine option
• Forged aluminum frame with integral accessory rail
• California DOJ approved with loaded chamber indicator
• Dual recoil spring system for reduced felt recoil and faster follow-up shots

The compact dimensions make this pistol suitable for concealed carry while maintaining the accuracy potential of the 1911 platform. The 3-inch barrel provides sufficient velocity for defensive ammunition performance, and the aluminum frame keeps overall weight manageable for all-day carry. Range testing demonstrates consistent accuracy with quality ammunition, and the enhanced trigger system maintains the crisp break characteristic of properly tuned 1911s.
