About this product

<h1>Springfield 1911 EMP 40 S&amp;W Compact Centerfire Pistol With Cocobolo Grips</h1> <h2>Overview</h2> <p>The Springfield 1911 EMP 40 S&amp;W Compact Centerfire Pistol with Cocobolo Grips delivers a purpose-built concealed carry platform in a proven defensive caliber. Designed around the Efficient Machine Pistol concept, this 1911 variant reduces overall dimensions without compromising reliability or accuracy. The frame is machined from a single billet of aluminum, while the slide is forged from carbon steel, providing a weight savings that enhances daily carry comfort. The Cocobolo grips add a classic aesthetic while offering positive texture for a secure hold. Whether you are upgrading your personal defense setup or adding a compact 1911 to your collection, this pistol represents a refined balance of size, power, and craftsmanship.</p> <h2>Features &amp; Specs</h2> <p>Built for the shooter who demands both performance and compact dimensions, the Springfield 1911 EMP 40 S&amp;W Compact Centerfire Pistol with Cocobolo Grips incorporates engineering refinements unique to the EMP series. The shortened slide and frame reduce overall length, while the full-length guide rod and bull barrel contribute to consistent lockup and accuracy. The forged slide features forward cocking serrations for positive manipulation, and the low-profile combat sights allow for rapid target acquisition. The Cocobolo grips are hand-fitted to the frame and provide a natural point of aim.</p> <ul> <li>Caliber: 40 S&amp;W; magazine capacity: 7+1 rounds with flush-fit magazine</li> <li>Barrel length: 3.0 inches; overall length: 6.6 inches; weight: 27 ounces</li> <li>Frame: lightweight aluminum alloy; slide: forged carbon steel with black Armory Kote finish</li> <li>Sights: dovetailed front and rear, low-profile combat style with white dot front</li> <li>Grips: checkered Cocobolo wood; includes one additional magazine and a padded zippered case</li> </ul> <h2>Who It's For</h2> <p>This pistol is designed for the experienced shooter who values the 1911 platform but requires a more concealable package. The Springfield 1911 EMP 40 S&amp;W Compact Centerfire Pistol with Cocobolo Grips is an ideal choice for concealed carry permit holders who prefer a single-action trigger and a slim profile.
