The Springfield Armory EMP is a semi-automatic pistol based on the classic M1911 design and manufactured by Springfield Armory, Inc. Whereas the M1911 uses the .45 ACP cartridge, the EMP uses smaller 9×19mm Parabellum or .40 S&W cartridges. It has been reengineered to make it smaller and lighter than its parent firearm, and is marketed as a "short-action 1911".{{cite web |url=http://www.shootingtimes.com/handgun_reviews/spemp_010807/ |title= Shooting Springfield's New Enhanced Micro 1911 |first=Jim |last=Wilson |website=Shooting Times |accessdate=15 December 2010 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071021035327/http://www.shootingtimes.com/handgun_reviews/spemp_010807/ |archivedate=October 21, 2007 |via=Wayback Machine}} EMP stands for "Enhanced Micro Pistol".{{cite web |url=https://ezine.m1911.org/SAemp.htm |title=Springfield Armory Enhanced Micro Pistol (EMP) |first=Harwood |last=Loomis |publisher=m1911.org |date=Fall 2006 |accessdate=March 20, 2020}} It is similar to the Colt Defender and Para-Ordnance Slim Hawg.
