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. This compact pistol delivers the proven reliability and ergonomics of a full-size 1911 in a carry-friendly package. The Enhanced Micro Pistol (EMP) series from Springfield Armory reduces the overall dimensions of the frame and slide without sacrificing the accuracy or trigger feel that defines the 1911 design. The inclusion of premium Cocobolo grips adds both aesthetic refinement and a secure purchase for the shooter.

Who It’s For

The Springfield 1911 EMP 40 S&W Compact Centerfire Pistol with Cocobolo Grips is designed for the experienced shooter who demands a compact 1911 that retains the handling characteristics of a full-sized platform. It is well-suited for concealed carry professionals, law enforcement officers seeking a backup or off-duty pistol, and competitive shooters who prefer the .40 S&W cartridge in a shorter barrel. The reduced grip circumference and shorter trigger reach make this model particularly effective for shooters with smaller hands who do not want to compromise on magazine capacity or caliber performance. This pistol also appeals to collectors who value the combination of modern manufacturing tolerances with traditional Cocobolo wood aesthetics.

• 1911 enthusiasts seeking a factory-compact version with a proven track record from Springfield Armory
