Features & Specs

The springfield 1911 emp 4.0 lightweight champion 9mm gear up package with 5 mags integrates several performance-driven features that distinguish it from standard 1911s. The shortened grip frame and flush-fit magazine allow for a more concealable profile while retaining a full firing grip. The forged aluminum frame reduces carry fatigue, and the loaded chamber indicator provides visual and tactile confirmation of a round in the chamber.
