Can anyone tell me if the EMP Ronin 9mm pistol takes a special mag? Will the Wilson Combat 47 series mags work in it?

I ask because I saw a video review and the reviewer used the the words “special slim magazines” when he was talking

Thanks

From the Springfield website:

"Rather than simply shortening the barrel and slide like most compact 1911 pistols, the EMP also shortens the frame and action . In fact, the pistol features 11 proprietary parts distinct from a standard 1911 as a result of this adaptation. The end result is a pistol with a reduced grip radius for both enhanced comfort and concealability.​ Proprietary parts include the frame, slide, firing pin, firing pin spring, extractor, ejector, trigger, plunger tube, plunger tube assembly, grips and magazine."

I have a Ronin EMP. Great gun I highly recommend it. It does take a proprietary magazine. Where most all other 1911 9mm single stacks use a "filler" in the back of a full size 1911 magazine the EMP uses a magazine sized for the 9mm. Thus the magazine and the grip are noticeably shorter front to back. Feels great in the hand and shoots like a laser.

How about holster fittment?

I use an old leather Colt Commander holster (that I actually used for an old .40 "Starvel" Firestar. remember them?) with the adjustment screw tightened about all the way down. I THINK it's a Galco. It fits well after I put the pistol in it and left it there while storing it between the mattress/box spring for a month. Read about that on here actually and it worked pretty well.
