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 an expertly scaled 1911 platform engineered for the .40 S&W cartridge. Springfield Armory reduced the frame dimensions and slide profile to create a true compact 1911 that cycles with full-size reliability. The extended magazine well and beavertail grip safety integrate seamlessly into the shortened grip frame, while the cocobolo wood grips provide a classic aesthetic with positive texture. This pistol bridges the gap between carry-friendly dimensions and the terminal performance of .40 S&W. For shooters who demand a compact 1911 that does not compromise on fit or function, the springfield 1911 emp 40 s&w compact centerfire pistol with cocobolo grips remains a benchmark design.

Features & Specs

Every element of the springfield 1911 emp 40 s&w compact centerfire pistol with cocobolo grips is built for consistent accuracy and controlled recoil in a compact envelope. The forged stainless steel slide mates to a lightweight aluminum alloy frame to reduce carry weight while maintaining structural integrity. The 3-inch bull barrel with a fully supported feed ramp ensures reliable chambering of .40 S&W loads. Below are the critical specifications and design highlights.

• Caliber: .40 S&W; capacity: 7+1 rounds with flush-fit magazine; overall length: 7.1 inches; barrel length: 3.0 inches; weight: 27.5 ounces unloaded
• Frame: anodized aluminum alloy with integral magazine well; slide: forged stainless steel with low-profile combat sights; trigger: factory-tuned single-action with 5.0-6.0 pound pull

The EMP (Enhanced Micro Pistol) design uses a proprietary short-recoil system tuned specifically for the .40 S&W cartridge. Springfield Armory recontoured the grip circumference to accommodate smaller hand sizes without sacrificing control surface area.

Who It’s For

The springfield 1911 emp 40 s&w compact centerfire pistol with cocobolo grips is suited for the experienced carrier who values the 1911 manual of arms in a concealable package. It is appropriate for concealed carry permit holders who prefer the single-action trigger and thumb safety configuration. The reduced grip circumference and shorter trigger reach make this pistol particularly accessible to shooters with smaller hands who struggle with full-size double-stack frames. It is also a strong option for law enforcement personnel seeking an off-duty or backup pistol that shares the same controls as their primary 1911 sidearm. Collectors and shooters who appreciate traditional materials will find the cocobolo grips and forged steel construction consistent with Springfield Armory’s manufacturing standards.
