The pistol operates on a standard 1911 recoil system with a full-length guide rod, calibrated specifically for the .40 S&W cartridge. The EMP designation denotes a shortened grip frame and slide length, resulting in a 3-inch barrel and a overall height of 4.5 inches, making it suitable for concealed carry or duty backup roles.
