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

Overview

The Springfield 1911 EMP 40 S&W Centerfire Pistol with G-10 Grips delivers a compact, high-performance platform for shooters who demand reliability in a smaller frame. Chambered in .40 S&W, this pistol is built on Springfield Armory’s Enhanced Micro Pistol (EMP) design, which reduces the grip circumference and overall profile without sacrificing magazine capacity or control. The G-10 grips provide a secure, non-slip surface under recoil, making this a practical choice for those who carry or compete. The springfield 1911 emp 40 s&w centerfire pistol with g-10 grips is a factory-tuned firearm that balances concealability with the proven 1911 action.

Features & Specs

This pistol combines classic 1911 engineering with modern refinements. The lightweight forged alloy frame and 3-inch bull barrel reduce weight while maintaining accuracy. The G-10 grips are textured for positive purchase in wet or dry conditions, and the low-profile Novak-style sights offer a clear sight picture. Below are the core specifications.

• Caliber: .40 S&W, centerfire, with a 9+1 round magazine capacity
• Barrel length: 3 inches, stainless steel, fully supported ramp
• Overall length: 7 inches, weight empty approximately 27 ounces
• Frame: Forged aluminum alloy with integral ramped barrel bed
• Grips: Factory-installed VZ G-10, textured black
• Sights: Novak-style low mount, dovetailed front and rear

The springfield 1911 emp 40 s&w centerfire pistol with g-10 grips includes one flush-fit magazine and a standard 1911 thumb safety and grip safety. The trigger is factory-tuned to a crisp 4.5 to 5.0 pound pull.

Who It’s For

This pistol is suited for concealed carry permit holders who prefer the 1911 platform but need a more compact grip and shorter barrel. It also serves shooters who want a .40 S&W option in a reliable, single-action package for defensive use or range training. The reduced grip size accommodates smaller hands or those who find standard 1911 frames too large. Law enforcement officers or security personnel seeking a backup or off-duty pistol will find the EMP’s dimensions practical. The springfield 1911 emp 40 s&w centerfire pistol with g-10 grips is not a beginner firearm; it is built for experienced users who value manual safeties and a steel-frame lineage.

• Experienced 1911 shooters looking for a compact .40 S&W
• Concealed carriers who need a shorter grip length and lighter weight
• Those who prefer mechanical safeties and a crisp single-action trigger
