Springfield Armory

The Springfield Armory Enhanced Micro Pistol (EMP) translates the benefits of the full-size 1911 into a smaller platform perfectly suited for today's most popular defense caliber. Easy carrying and smooth shooting, the EMP is built with a forged frame and slide to last a lifetime. To capitalize on the smaller caliber refinements, the EMP features a shortened frame and action compared to its full-size counterpart. The reduced grip radius produces a remarkably comfortable shooting experience and makes the pistol a concealable and confident side arm. The forged steel slide of the EMP is both rugged and practically indestructible, while a patented forged aluminum alloy frame keeps the gun lightweight and packable. The EMP offers an ambidextrous thumb safety and comes standard with three magazines replete with slam pads. The 1911 EMP Champion offers a mid-size 4" barrel length in a lightweight concealed carry platform. The flat wire spring and full-length guide rod keep recoil in check. Three-dot iron sights are low profile and snag-free with a fiber optic light pipe up front. The Gen 2 trigger further improves on this superb single-action classic. Posi-Lock checkering on the frontstrap combines with thin-line Cross-Cannon Double Diamond Cocobolo grips to create an exceptionally tight shooting foundation.
