The Emissary bridges the defensive and custom pistol worlds to offer shooters a pistol that makes for a bold and capable addition to the Springfield Armory family of 1911's. Combining forged steel construction for durability with a beautiful two-tone finish. Both pistols feature grenade-pattern checkering on their stainless steel grip frames and G10 grips, as well as a Tri-Top cut to their carbon steel slides, giving them custom-grade styling. In addition, a heavy-profile stainless steel forged bull barrel delivers maximum accuracy and reduces felt recoil.
