Springfield 1911 EMP 4.0 9mm Concealed Carry Contour Pistol with Tactical Gray Finish

Overview

The Springfield 1911 EMP 4.0 9mm Concealed Carry Contour Pistol with Tactical Gray Finish represents a focused evolution in the 1911 platform for the modern defensive shooter. Built on Springfield Armory’s proprietary Enhanced Micro Pistol frame, this 4.0-inch barreled variant delivers full-size 1911 ergonomics in a package purpose-designed for concealed carry. The tactical gray Cerakote finish provides corrosion resistance while reducing glare, and the Contour profile ensures snag-free presentation from a holster. Chambered in 9mm, this pistol offers reduced recoil impulse and increased magazine capacity compared to traditional .45 ACP 1911s, making it a practical choice for daily carry without sacrificing the classic 1911 trigger and controls.

Features & Specs
