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 delivers a compact, high-performance platform for shooters who demand the iconic 1911 ergonomics in a more concealable form factor. Built on Springfield Armory’s proven Enhanced Micro Pistol (EMP) frame, this model chambers the .40 S&W cartridge and comes equipped with aggressive G-10 grips for positive control. Whether for personal defense or range use, this pistol offers a reliable, accurate shooting experience in a smaller package.

Overview

The Springfield 1911 EMP 40 S&W Centerfire Pistol with G-10 Grips represents a purposeful evolution of the classic 1911 design. Springfield Armory shortened and thinned the grip frame to accommodate the shorter .40 S&W cartridge while retaining the full 1911 trigger feel and single-action operation. This pistol is chambered specifically for .40 S&W, offering a balance of magazine capacity and terminal performance. The G-10 grips provide a secure, non-slip surface in all conditions, and the forged steel slide and frame ensure long-term durability. This is a factory-built, purpose-designed pistol, not a cut-down version of a full-size 1911.

Who It’s For

The Springfield 1911 EMP 40 S&W Centerfire Pistol with G-10 Grips is designed for the experienced shooter who prefers the 1911 platform but needs a more compact pistol for daily carry. It suits the individual who values the single-action trigger, the slim profile, and the proven reliability of the 1911 design in a .40 S&W chambering.
