Description
This is the magazine that ships with every Springfield Armory 1911 EMP pistol. It's the right choice if you want to guarantee perfect fit, function, and reliability with your compact 1911. Built from stainless steel, this magazine resists corrosion and maintains its finish through years of use and holster carry.
Springfield EMP Magazine Build and Function
Manufactured by Mec-Gar, these magazines are built to tight tolerances that match your EMP perfectly. The stainless steel body and components provide both strength and dependable performance whether you're training at the range or carrying daily. The steel spring and follower work together to feed rounds smoothly and consistently. You'll notice the magazine seats and releases cleanly, without the stiffness that sometimes plagues new magazines. Users report they feed flawlessly from day one without any break-in period.
Why Go OEM for Your EMP
The 1911 EMP was engineered around the 9mm cartridge with a compact 3-inch frame. This magazine is specifically designed for that platform, which means it feeds reliably with both standard velocity and high-performance rounds. The stainless construction holds up to the demanding environments where compact carry guns spend their time: duty belts, concealment holsters, vehicles, and range bags. A few spare mags ensure you always have a reload ready for training sessions or when a magazine eventually needs retirement after years of service.
What to Expect
Capacity is 9 rounds. The magazine is compact enough for the EMP's small grip frame, but doesn't sacrifice capacity. This is a bare magazine with no packaging or accessories included. It's made to the same specifications as the ones that came in the box with your pistol, so compatibility and performance are guaranteed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this magazine work in other 1911 pistols?
This magazine is designed specifically for the Springfield Armory 1911 EMP 3-inch compact frame and fits that model perfectly. Because the EMP was engineered around the 9mm cartridge with its own compact geometry, this magazine is optimized for that platform. Other 1911 models in different frame sizes may not work reliably with it.
Is this an original factory magazine?
Yes, this is the genuine OEM magazine that comes standard with new Springfield 1911 EMP pistols. It's manufactured by Mec-Gar and built to Springfield's specifications for reliable feeding and durability.
Do I need more than one magazine for my EMP?
Most owners carry at least two magazines total: one in the gun and one as a backup. If you shoot regularly or train frequently, a third or fourth magazine gives you more flexibility and lets mags rest between use. Extra magazines are also practical insurance in case one gets damaged or you misplace one.
What's the difference between the stainless and blued versions?
Both versions hold 9 rounds and function identically. Stainless steel offers superior corrosion resistance and works well for carry guns or humid environments. Blued steel requires slightly more maintenance but appeals to some shooters who prefer the traditional look. Either choice from Springfield is reliable.
