About the Gun

The Springfield 1911-A1 series of pistols are faithful adaptations of the original 45 Auto Colt-Browning design. The short-action Enhanced Micro Pistol is the first production 1911 made from the ground up to shoot short cartridges like the 9mm and .40 S&W. The result is a small and very concealable 1911 style pistol.

About the Cartridge

This cartridge was developed as a joint venture between Winchester and Smith & Wesson. It was an effort to to create a cartridge with the same power as the 10mm Norma round that the FBI had just started using, but in a shorter case. The shorter cartridge would facilitate accuracy and allow use of a smaller, more comfortable grip frame. The .40 S&W has become the cartridge of choice for many law enforcement agencies in the United States.
