SPRINGFIELD ARMORY 1911 EMP Conceal Carry Contour 9mm 4in 9rd Semi-Automatic Pistol (PI9229Y)

The world's most elegant carry pistol family just added a new member. For those who emphasize extra-discreet concealed carry, they're proud to introduce the SPRINGFIELD ARMORY 1911 EMP Conceal Carry Contour 9mm 4in 9rd Semi-Automatic Pistol (PI9229Y).

Back in 2007, the original Springfield Armory EMP set a new bar for quality, performance, and style. Combining the near-perfect ergonomics of the time-tested 1911 design with a new patented short-action, the original EMP redefined what a carry 1911 could be. Among the community of those who know, it has earned a reputation as one of the most shootable compact pistols ever.

The EMP 4" Lightweight Champion with Concealed Carry Contour model improves on the original by combining a longer barrel with a frame trimmed for ultimate concealment. The new bevel cut on the mainspring housing does a lot more than one might think. The rounded contour molds to the shape of the shooters hand, preventing "palm bite" during fire. For carry, the contoured shape helps to prevent snags during the draw and virtually eliminates the telltale bulge under a cover garment. Now, the EMP is easier than ever to conceal.

The Concealed Carry Contour model features a four-inch, stainless steel, Match-Grade bull barrel with a fully supported feed ramp. The barrel is housed in a forged stainless steel slide with an exquisite satin finish. The slide assembly is complemented by a black hard coat anodized forged aluminum alloy frame. The front fiber optic sight facilities instant sight acquisition while the low-profile combat-style rear sight ensures a smooth draw from concealment.

The EMP Lightweight Champion with Concealed Carry Contour handles even better than it looks. Checkered black G-10 grip panels combine a slip-free hold with incomparable durability. Both front and rear strap frame surfaces feature smooth, but effective, Posi-Lok texturing pattern.
