The Springfield Armory EMP was purpose-built from the ground up as a scaled-down 1911 around shorter cartridges, and that means it uses its own proprietary magazine, not standard 1911 mags. If you have the 3-inch compact EMP in .40 S&W, this is the correct factory replacement, part number PI6071. It fits the EMP platform only, so it is worth being clear on that before you buy.
The magazine is manufactured by Mec-Gar in Italy for Springfield Armory, which should give you confidence right out of the gate. Mec-Gar makes magazines for some of the most respected names in the industry, and the quality shows. The body is stainless steel, the follower is stainless steel, and the spring is high-tensile steel, all working together to deliver consistent, reliable feeding round after round. The baseplate is impact-resistant polymer and removes easily if you need to clean or inspect the internals.
The slam pad on the bottom serves a practical purpose beyond just aesthetics. It gives you something to push against when seating the magazine firmly, and it cushions the impact so you are not battering the frame or your hand during a fast reload. On a tight-fitting compact 1911 like the EMP, that extra surface area matters. The stainless finish also matches the OEM look of the EMP's slide, so it keeps things looking right alongside the pistol.
At 8 rounds of .40 S&W, you are getting the full factory capacity for this platform. Whether you are adding a second spare to your carry setup or building out your range kit, these magazines are the most reliable option for this specific gun. Springfield backs them with a limited lifetime warranty.
No, this magazine is designed exclusively for the Springfield Armory 1911 EMP platform in .40 S&W and will not work in a standard 1911. The EMP was engineered from scratch around smaller cartridges, which required a completely proprietary magazine that is shorter front-to-back than a typical 1911 mag. Make sure your pistol is the EMP model, not the EMP4, before ordering.
Yes, the PI6071 includes a polymer slam pad on the baseplate. On a tight-fitting compact like the EMP, the slam pad helps ensure the magazine seats firmly and gives you a solid surface to push against during a reload. It also adds a small amount of protection to the baseplate if you drop the magazine on a hard surface.
This magazine is manufactured by Mec-Gar in Italy under contract for Springfield Armory. Mec-Gar is one of the most well-regarded magazine makers in the world and produces OEM magazines for numerous major firearm brands. You are getting a true factory-spec magazine, not a generic aftermarket product.
Yes, this is completely normal for any quality magazine with a new, stiff spring. It typically takes a break-in period of regular loading and unloading cycles before the spring loosens up and loading to full capacity becomes easier. Running the magazine through a few range sessions will smooth things out considerably.
No. The EMP4 has a 4-inch barrel and uses a different magazine than the original 3-inch EMP. The PI6071 is specifically for the original 3-inch compact frame EMP chambered in .40 S&W. Double-check your model before purchasing to make sure you get the correct magazine.
Yes, the polymer baseplate is removable, which makes it straightforward to disassemble the magazine for cleaning and inspection. Regular maintenance of your magazines, including cleaning the interior and checking the spring and follower, is a good habit that helps keep them running reliably over time.
