A 1911 designed specifically around the 9 mm Luger cartridge, the Springfield EMP4 is a lightweight, commander-size pistol as comfortable to shoot as it is to carry. With a brushed stainless-steel slide, a matte-black frame and wood grips, the EMP4 is a great, modern day take on one of the firearm world's true classics. For more on this firearm, check out this "Rifleman Review" segment from a recent episode of American Rifleman TV.
