Springfield 1911 EMP 4.0 Lightweight Champion 9mm Gear Up Package With 5 Mags

Overview

When you pick up the Springfield 1911 EMP 4.0 Lightweight Champion 9mm Gear Up Package with 5 Mags, the first thing you notice is the balance. This is a 1911 built for the shooter who wants the classic platform in a more compact, carry-friendly format without giving up on capacity. The EMP (Enhanced Micro Pistol) series has been a staple for Springfield Armory, and the 4.0 Lightweight Champion version brings a forged aluminum frame and a 4-inch barrel to the table. It chambers 9mm, which means softer shooting and faster follow-ups compared to its .45 ACP cousins. The Gear Up Package sweetens the deal with five magazines, a soft case, and a magazine loader right in the box. If you have been eyeing a 1911 that handles like a full-size but conceals like a compact, this package is hard to beat.

Features & Specs

The Springfield 1911 EMP 4.0 Lightweight Champion 9mm Gear Up Package with 5 Mags keeps the classic 1911 ergonomics you expect but trims the weight significantly. The forged aluminum frame drops the heft without sacrificing strength, and the bull barrel design improves accuracy by eliminating the barrel bushing. You get a fiber optic front sight for quick target acquisition and a low-profile combat rear sight that won’t snag on your cover garment. The trigger is a solid 1911-style with a short reset, and the grip safety, thumb safety, and beavertail all work together for a secure hold. Here is a quick look at what comes in the box and what you can expect from the build.

• Forged aluminum frame paired with a forged carbon steel slide, both finished in a durable black armor coating
• One 9-round flush-fit magazine and four 9-round extended magazines for a total of five magazines in the package
• 4-inch bull barrel with a fully supported ramp, fiber optic front sight, and a low-profile combat rear sight

This configuration gives you a 1911 that weighs about 27 ounces unloaded, making it one of the lighter 1911 options in 9mm. The overall length is 7.6 inches, and the height with the flush magazine is just over 5 inches. Springfield Armory designed the EMP series with a shorter grip frame and a ramped barrel to feed 9mm reliably, so you get the 1911 feel with modern caliber performance.

Who It’s For

This Springfield 1911 EMP 4.0 Lightweight Champion 9mm Gear Up Package with 5 Mags is built for the shooter who wants a 1911 that pulls double duty. If you carry concealed but also hit the range regularly, the lightweight frame and five-magazine setup mean you can practice without constantly buying extra gear. The 9mm chambering keeps ammo costs manageable and recoil manageable for newer shooters, while the 1911 platform gives experienced hands that familiar grip angle and trigger feel. It also works well for shooters with smaller hands who find full-size 1911 grips a little too blocky, since the EMP grip is slightly shorter and contoured. Whether you are looking for a reliable carry piece, a fun range toy, or a backup for competition, this package covers a lot of ground.

• Ideal for concealed carriers who want a slim, single-stack 1911 in a lighter package
• Great for shooters transitioning from polymer pistols to a steel-frame 1911 without the weight penalty
• Perfect for those who want a complete setup out of the box with five magazines and a carrying case
