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 delivers a refined balance of concealability and stopping power. Built on Springfield Armory’s proprietary EMP (Enhanced Micro Pistol) platform, this compact 1911 is engineered specifically around the .40 S&W cartridge, offering a shorter overall length and reduced grip circumference without sacrificing the classic 1911 controls. The combination of a forged carbon steel slide, a lightweight aluminum frame, and premium cocobolo wood grips makes this pistol a reliable choice for daily carry or range work.

Features & Specs

This Springfield 1911 EMP 40 S&W Compact Centerfire Pistol with Cocobolo Grips is constructed with a forged stainless steel barrel and a match-grade bushing, ensuring consistent accuracy round after round. The cocobolo grips provide a secure hold while adding a traditional aesthetic. The pistol includes a lowered and flared ejection port for reliable feeding, a skeletonized hammer, and a beavertail grip safety with a memory bump for positive engagement.

• Caliber: .40 S&W; magazine capacity: 9+1 rounds with flush-fit magazines
• Barrel length: 3.0 inches; overall length: 6.6 inches; weight: 28 ounces unloaded
• Sights: Tritium front sight and low-profile combat rear sight for rapid target acquisition
• Frame: Lightweight aluminum alloy with a flat mainspring housing for reduced felt recoil

The EMP platform features a ramped barrel and a fully supported feed ramp, which is especially beneficial for .40 S&W loads. The trigger is a forged aluminum, long-shoe skeletonized design with a factory pull weight of approximately 5 to 6 pounds.

Who It’s For

The Springfield 1911 EMP 40 S&W Compact Centerfire Pistol with Cocobolo Grips is suited for experienced shooters who prefer the 1911 platform but require a smaller frame for concealed carry. It is also an excellent option for law enforcement officers seeking a backup weapon or for civilian owners who want a compact pistol with manageable recoil and proven reliability. The short trigger reach and reduced grip circumference make it particularly comfortable for shooters with smaller hands, while the .40 S&W caliber offers a balance of capacity and terminal performance.

• Concealed carriers who need a slim, lightweight 1911 in .40 S&W
• Collectors and enthusiasts of the Springfield Armory EMP series
• Shooters upgrading from a subcompact polymer pistol to a steel-frame 1911

This pistol is not recommended for novice shooters unfamiliar with single-action triggers or the manual safety protocol typical of the 1911 design.
