Built Specifically for the Springfield 1911 EMP 9mm
The PI6070 isn’t a generic single-stack 1911 mag—it’s engineered around the shortened EMP frame and 9mm geometry. The EMP line uses a slightly downsized 1911 platform, so standard Government or Commander mags won’t give you the same perfect fit and function.
This EMP-specific magazine is designed to:
Lock positively into the EMP magwell
Engage the magazine catch at the right height
Provide reliable slide lock on empty
Feed 9mm rounds smoothly into the EMP’s dedicated 9mm feed ramp
If you want the same performance as the mag that shipped with your EMP, PI6070 is the one to get.
9-Round Capacity – Balanced for Concealment and Control
With a 9-round capacity, this magazine offers a great balance between carry comfort and on-board ammunition:
Ample capacity for concealed carry / EDC on a compact 1911
Minimal extension from the grip for easier concealment under light cover garments
A natural fit for range work, drills, and defensive training
For many shooters, rotating several 9-round EMP mags like the PI6070 makes training and carry setups simpler and more consistent.
Stainless Steel Body for Durability and Smooth Feeding
The PI6070 uses a stainless steel body that stands up to hard use, repeated loading, and daily carry. Stainless steel is an ideal choice for a defensive pistol magazine because it offers:
Excellent structural rigidity – resists bending and denting under normal conditions
Corrosion resistance – important for carry mags exposed to sweat, humidity, and environmental moisture
A smooth surface that helps rounds move cleanly under spring tension
Pair this with quality internal springs and a properly shaped follower, and you get the kind of reliable feeding Springfield EMP pistols are known for.
Low-Profile Base Plate – Made for Concealed Carry
Unlike large extended magazines, the Springfield EMP 9-round PI6070 typically features a flush or low-profile base that keeps the grip short and snag-free. This benefits you by:
Making the pistol easier to conceal against the body
Reducing the chance of printing through light clothing
Keeping a clean draw stroke from IWB/OWB holsters without catching on the cover garment
It’s the right choice if your EMP is primarily a concealed carry or backup gun and you want to maintain its compact footprint.
Factory OEM Reliability You Can Trust
Because this magazine is an official Springfield Armory product, it’s built to the same quality standards as the rest of your EMP pistol. That means:
Proper tolerances and heat treatment on the body
A reliable follower and spring combo tuned for 9mm EMP feeding
Consistent performance with quality factory or defensive ammunition
Using OEM mags like the PI6070 is one of the easiest ways to avoid the kinds of feeding and lockback problems that sometimes occur with off-brand magazines.
Ideal Uses – Carry, Training, and Spare Magazines
The Springfield Armory 1911 EMP 9mm 9-Round Stainless Magazine PI6070 is an excellent choice for:
Everyday carry: Primary magazine or spare carry mag for your EMP 9mm
Home defense: Keep additional factory mags loaded and staged (where safe and legal)
Range practice: Run several mags for reload drills and live-fire training
Competition or defensive courses: Ensure your EMP functions smoothly under time and stress
Many shooters keep a dedicated set of “carry” mags plus additional “training” mags and rotate them to extend service life.
Basic Care & Maintenance Tips
To get maximum reliability and lifespan from your Springfield EMP magazine:
Periodically disassemble and clean the mag body, follower, and spring, especially after dusty or dirty range sessions.
Inspect feed lips and base plate for dents, cracks, or bending—replace any magazine that shows significant damage.
Avoid leaving magazines fully loaded for extremely long periods if you’re not using them; rotate carry mags occasionally.
With proper care, the Springfield Armory 1911 EMP Magazine 9mm Luger Stainless Steel 9/rd PI6070 can provide years of dependable performance in your EMP pistol.
