Innovation can take many forms. Sometimes it's a brand new idea, like the XD®. Other times innovation is the fine-tuning of a classic, like the EMP®. How could the enduring design that is the 1911 be improved? Springfield Armory® answered that question in 2007 with the introduction of the Enhanced Micro Pistol™. The EMP® changes what a compact 1911 can be. The action of the EMP® is 1/8 inch shorter than that of the original 1911. This translates into several concrete advantages for the shooter. The shorter grip radius produces a shockingly comfortable shooting experience. You have to shoot the EMP® to believe how controllable it is. The shorter dimensions also work to increase reliability, something that's crucial in a concealed carry pistol. And of course, the overall dimensions are one of the smallest 1911s out there. The good news doesn't stop with the innovative design. The EMP® comes loaded with all the features you expect in a 1911 of this class like low profile 3-Dot tritium combat sights and a match grade fully supported and ramped barrel. And with 9+1 rounds of 9mm, the EMP® packs an amazing amount of punch in one of the smallest 1911s ever. If you're looking for a 1911 to carry with you every day, look no further than the Springfield Armory® EMP®. Sometimes innovation changes everything.
