The EMP(R) line captured audiences with ideal concealed carry proportions in a slim single-stack design" silky-smooth short action" and enhanced ergonomic features. This series is set apart from the competition by the reduced dimensions of the grip frame. Due to it being designed originally around the 9mm cartridge" Springfield's engineers were able to reduce the diameter and front-to-rear dimensions of the grip frame by 0.26 and 0.14 inches" respectively. This is immediately evident when you pick up an EMP(R)" especially when you factor in the extra-thin G-10 grip panels. Compressing the traditional 1911 .45ACP grip to fit the 9mm and .40 caliber cartridges takes more than you might think. In fact" nine different components were redesigned to produce the EMP(R)" including the frame" slide" extractor" trigger bow" trigger mechanism" firing pin" firing pin spring" plunger tube and spring. Includes three 8-round magazines.
