The Emissary bridges defensive and custom pistols delivering a bold and capable addition to the Springfield Armory family of 1911s. Durable foundation of forged steel in its barrel, slide and frame, the Emissary offers a defensive pistol with an air of custom refinement. The pistol has a beautiful two-tone or all-black finish, with squared trigger guard. A Tri-Top cut to the slide gives the pistol custom-grade styling, while a heavy-profile bull barrel delivers maximum accuracy and reduces felt recoil.The Emissary blends form and function seamlessly in a defensive-minded firearm loaded with custom-grade features.
