Fans of the 1911 platform have reason to rejoice this Cyber Monday as Springfield Armory has just announced the introduction of their all-new concealed carry-focused Springfield Armory 1911 Ronin EMP. The new pistol will feature a two-tone alloy construction, enhanced concealed carry features, and of course the classic reliability and construction quality you’ve come to expect from Springfield’s 1911 pistols.
Introducing Springfield Armory’s New Ronin EMP 1911 Pistol
The EMP has long been a popular CCW pistol for 1911 fans, due to its incredible ergonomics and easily concealable dimensions,” explains Steve Kramer, Vice President of Marketing for Springfield Armory. “And now with the new Ronin EMP, shooters get one with all the benefits and features of the Ronin series of 1911 pistols.
The new EMP will be offered in two different variants including one 4-inch barreled version with a 10+1 magazine capacity and an ultra-compact, 3-inch model with a 9+1 capacity. Both pistols will come with a unique two-tone finish, wood grips to complement the aesthetics, and an intuitive sight picture made up of a high-visibility fiber optic front sight and a Tactical Rack rear sight with white dots and light-diffusing serrations. The Ronin EMP is designed around and for everyday concealed carry and a lifetime of range use.
If you’re interested in picking up one of the new Ronin EMP pistols they can be ordered through your local FFL for $849 for either the 3″ or 4″ versions. More information can be found here.
The patented EMP stands apart in the 1911 market, having been specifically engineered around the 9mm cartridge and its overall shorter length than rounds such as the .45 ACP and 10mm. Rather than simply shortening the barrel and slide like most compact 1911 pistols, the EMP also shortens the frame of the pistol fore to aft. As a result, the pistol is not only shorter and more compact, but also has a reduced grip radius for both enhanced comfort and concealability.
