The Springfield 1911 EMP 40 S&W Compact Centerfire Pistol with Cocobolo Grips comes complete with essential parts as described: Springfield 1911 EMP 40 S&W Compact Centerfire Pistol with Cocobolo Grips Overview The Springfield 1911 EMP 40 S&W Compact Centerfire Pistol with Cocobolo Grips represents a precision-engineered evolution of the classic 1911 platform, scaled specifically for the .40 S&W cartridge. Designed by Springfield Armory, this compact pistol reduces overall dimensions without compromising the proven single-action trigger and locked-breech system that defines the 1911 lineage. The EMP (Enhanced Micro Pistol) series utilizes a shortened frame and slide profile, paired with a ramped bull barrel, to achieve reliable feeding and extraction in a concealable package. The inclusion of genuine cocobolo wood grips adds a traditional aesthetic to this modern defensive tool, making the springfield 1911 emp 40 s&w compact centerfire pistol with cocobolo grips a distinctive choice for shooters who demand both form and function. Features & Specs This pistol is built around a forged carbon steel slide and a lightweight aluminum alloy frame, reducing carry weight while maintaining structural integrity. The 3-inch bull barrel is ramped and fully supported, optimized for the higher pressure of .40 S&W ammunition. The single-action trigger breaks at approximately 5 to 6 pounds with minimal overtravel, consistent with Springfield Armory's manufacturing tolerances. The cocobolo grips are hand-fitted to the frame and feature a double-diamond checkering pattern for positive purchase. Sights consist of a low-profile three-dot system with a dovetailed front post and a Novak-style rear, both secured by set screws. Caliber: .40 S&W; magazine capacity: 9+1 rounds; overall length: 6.6 inches; weight: 27.5 ounces unloaded Barrel: 3-inch forged stainless steel ramped bull barrel with a 1:16 left-hand twist; fully supported feed ramp Frame: Lightweight 7075-T6 aluminum alloy, anodized black; slide: forged carbon steel with a blued finish The springfield 1911 emp 40 s&w compact centerfire pistol with cocobolo grips includes one flush-fit magazine and a second extended magazine with a grip collar for improved purchase. Each magazine features a polymer basepad and a steel body with a blued finish. The pistol is equipped with a standard grip safety, a manual thumb safety, and a firing pin block, all meeting the manufacturer's specifications for defensive reliability. The ejection port is lowered and flared to ensure consistent extraction across various .40 S&W loads. Who It's For This compact 1911 is intended for the experienced shooter who requires a smaller-frame pistol chambered in .40 S&W for concealed carry or duty backup. The reduced grip circumference and shorter trigger reach accommodate shooters with smaller hands, while the aluminum frame keeps the overall weight manageable for all-day carry. The traditional 1911 manual of arms will be familiar to those already trained on full-size variants, and the cocobolo grips provide a non-slip surface without the bulk of tactical rubber. The springfield 1911 emp 40 s&w compact centerfire pistol with cocobolo grips is also suitable for collectors who appreciate the combination of modern manufacturing with classic wood furniture. This is not a beginner pistol; it demands proficiency with the single-action trigger and a commitment to regular maintenance.
