Is This the Best 1911 for Concealed Carry? Springfield’s Ronin EMP 3-inch Review

About this video

Colion reviews the Springfield 1911 Ronin EMP, a compact 9mm pistol he describes as the smallest true 1911 on the market. He covers the gun’s design features, shooting performance, and practical applications, arguing it’s an ideal choice for those who want a slim, concealable 1911 for everyday carry. Colion emphasizes the gun’s shootability, natural ergonomics, and deep concealability compared to bulkier double-stack alternatives.

Key takeaways

  • Colion explains the Ronin EMP offers traditional 1911 benefits (grip angle, trigger quality, slim profile) in a compact 3-inch barrel package weighing 24 ounces
  • According to Colion, the gun performs well at practical distances up to 25 yards, with manageable recoil and fast shooting capability despite its small size
  • Colion argues the single-stack design makes deep concealment easier than thicker double-stack options, while still allowing 9+1 capacity plus an easily pocketed spare magazine
