- Case
The EMP architecture shortens the 1911 action and grip circumference specifically for the 9mm cartridge, resulting in a compact, controllable platform with 9+1 capacity. This Lightweight Champion variant pairs that format with a forged aluminum alloy frame finished in black hardcoat anodizing and a matte stainless slide for a durable two-tone presentation.
Its 4 inch stainless steel match-grade bull barrel is bushingless and features a fully supported feed ramp, full-length guide rod, and reverse plug for consistent lockup and smooth cycling. The slide wears rear cocking serrations and houses a red fiber-optic front sight with a low-profile two-dot white rear for fast sight acquisition.
Controls and ergonomics are classic single-action 1911, including a skeletonized Commander-style hammer, a long skeletonized trigger with lightening ports, a standard magazine release, and both thumb and grip safeties. Thinline checkered Cocobolo wood grips with Springfield Armory medallions provide a slim, secure hold.
Made in the USA, this EMP4 carries clean, clear markings: EMP4 and 9MM on the slide, Springfield Armory on the slide, Springfield Inc Geneseo, IL USA on the frame, and S.A. 9MM on the barrel hood. The dust cover is smooth with no accessory rail. Overall length is approximately 7.5 inches, with weight around 31 oz.
