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

When precision meets concealability, the Springfield 1911 EMP 40 S&W Centerfire Pistol with G-10 Grips delivers a compact 1911 platform engineered for the serious shooter. Chambered in the proven .40 S&W cartridge, this pistol combines the classic 1911 ergonomics with a shortened grip frame and slide designed specifically for concealed carry. Springfield Armory’s Enhanced Micro Pistol (EMP) series reduces the overall dimensions without compromising the legendary 1911 trigger feel or accuracy. Whether for personal defense or range performance, this firearm stands as a purpose-built tool for those who demand reliability in a smaller package.

Overview

The Springfield 1911 EMP 40 S&W Centerfire Pistol with G-10 Grips is a premium single-action semi-automatic pistol built on a forged stainless steel frame and slide. Unlike standard subcompact 1911s that merely shorten the grip, the EMP features a fully redesigned short-frame architecture that reduces the grip circumference and slide length. The result is a natural point of aim, reduced recoil impulse, and a flush-fitting 9-round magazine. The pistol includes tritium front and rear sights for low-light acquisition, a skeletonized aluminum trigger, and an integral locking system. This is a firearm that respects the 1911 heritage while adapting it to modern carry requirements.

Who It’s For

This pistol is built for the armed citizen who values the 1911 platform but requires a more concealable package.
