If the barrel lengths match up, it should.

 

Is it just the frame is reduced in size, or isn't the entire gun shrunk?

I would have thought an EMP would be loose in a regular 1911 holster, but I don't really know.

For instance, Tucker lists the EMP as a separate model in their availability list.

My EMP 4" fits snugly in a kydex designed for a 4" 1911.
Commander slide and EMP slide are 0.915" wide.
Both frames are 0.755 ± 0.002" in front of the trigger guard. The guns look identical from the magazine catch forward. I think all the dimensional differences are in the butt.

 

I think all the dimensional differences are in the butt.

Thanks.

 

My EMP4 fits all my 1911 holster (full size and Commander) however, the holsters are about 1/2” to 1” too long depending on the holster. I just ordered at 1791 gunleather holster made for the 4” EMP. Hasn’t arrived as yet, so I can’t say how well it fits.

 

Thanks guys.

Edit: Forget to say it’s 9mm. Does that make a difference?

Thank you.

 

No. The external dimensions of the slide and forward part of the frame are about the same. The changes were in the internal dimensions of the magazine well and grip. I carry mine (3" 9mm version) in standard 1911 holsters without any trouble.

 

My 3” EMP 40 fits my 3” 1911 holsters like it was made for it.

Although my 3” 1911 holsters IWB, this could be a mitigating factor.
And for an FYI the EMP fits great in my ancient, Askins Avenger holster too, and that is a belt slide style holster.

 

I remember seeing that thread and I think I responded to it. Not seeing that other thread now either. Basically all I said was that the EMP we have does seem to fit the full size 1911 holsters well. The ambi safety was my biggest concern since the EMP is the only gun we own that has an ambi safety. The 3 holsters i tried kept the safety in the locked position and i wasnt able to flick it off on the ambi side at all.

That being said, I did buy a couple of holsters made specifically for the EMP and its shorter 3" barrel.

 

Any 1911 holster will work for the barrel length listed, and an EMP 3 has a 3" barrel and an EMP 4 has a 4" barrel so they are not interchangeable. The holster selected must match.

Just for kicks. I think I found the other post! [emoji6]

I have a 4” EMP in .40 and it fits in all my Commander sized holsters just fine. As a side note, this was going to be my EDC until my dear wife tried it and her eyes lit up and she said, “I really like this one!”
