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

The Springfield 1911 EMP 40 S&W Centerfire Pistol with G-10 Grips combines a compact carry profile with the proven stopping power of the .40 S&W cartridge. Built on Springfield Armory’s proprietary Enhanced Micro Pistol frame, this model reduces the grip circumference and overall dimensions of a classic 1911 while maintaining full caliber performance. Each pistol is assembled in the USA and finished with durable G-10 grips for a secure purchase in adverse conditions.

Overview

Springfield Armory designed the EMP series to address the need for a reliable, concealable 1911 without sacrificing capacity or controllability. The 40 S&W variant delivers a balance of velocity and energy suited for personal defense and duty carry. The shortened slide and bobbed mainspring housing reduce snag points, while the forged stainless steel frame and slide ensure longevity. This is a factory-tuned pistol ready for immediate use.

Who It’s For

This pistol is intended for experienced shooters who want a compact 1911 chambered in 40 S&W for concealed carry or home defense. The reduced grip size accommodates shooters with smaller hands who struggle with standard 1911 frames, without compromising on magazine capacity or sight radius. It is also suitable for law enforcement officers seeking a backup or off-duty sidearm that matches their primary 1911 manual of arms. The Springfield 1911 EMP 40 S&W Centerfire Pistol with G-10 Grips is not a beginner firearm; it demands familiarity with the 1911 platform and proper handling of the 40 S&W cartridge’s recoil impulse.

• Concealed carry license holders who prioritize a slim, lightweight pistol with a proven manual of arms.
• Shooters who prefer the 40 S&W cartridge for its balance of capacity and terminal performance.
• Those who require a reliable handgun that fits smaller hand sizes without aftermarket modifications.
