This 1911 EMP 9mm Bi-Tone Pistol is part of Springfield's Instant Gear Up promotion. Included in this package is 5 total magazines, a holster, mag pouch, range bag and a hard case.
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.
I spent months looking at all the 9mm 1911 pistols available in my sub 1500 dollar price range and after quite a bit of back and forth I bought this little fellow. I am completely happy with my purchase and have had it out a number of times now with no issues so far which makes me feel warm and fuzzy.
I have tried different types and weights as well as brands of ammunition and the pistol just keeps me smiling as it is easy on my old carpal tunnel syndrome wrist and I can hit my target well enough to avoid making excuses. Another plus with this one is that it also looks good, which never hurts.
