Springfield 1911 EMP 40 S&W Centerfire Pistol with G-10 Grips

Overview

Built for the discerning shooter who demands compact power without sacrificing the classic 1911 platform, the Springfield 1911 EMP 40 S&W Centerfire Pistol with G-10 Grips delivers a refined balance of concealability and stopping force. Chambered in .40 S&W, this Enhanced Micro Pistol (EMP) series handgun reduces the overall frame size while retaining the full grip circumference necessary for control. The lightweight forged aluminum frame and 3-inch bull barrel make it a prime choice for daily carry, while the G-10 grips provide a secure purchase under recoil. Each pistol is assembled in the United States by Springfield Armory and undergoes a rigorous 5,000-round reliability test before leaving the factory.
