Features & Specs

Springfield Armory built the Emissary with attention to details that matter. The slide features a unique top serration pattern for positive manipulation, while the forged frame offers a solid foundation for accuracy. The 5-inch barrel is hammer-forged and match-grade, contributing to the tight lockup you expect from a premium 1911. The VZ G10 grips are a standout feature: they provide a secure purchase even with sweaty hands, and their slim profile reduces bulk without sacrificing control. The pistol also includes a skeletonized hammer, a beavertail grip safety with a memory bump, and a low-profile three-dot sight system. Magazine capacity is 8+1 rounds of .45 ACP, and the gun ships with two magazines. The finish is a durable Cerakote over stainless steel, resistant to corrosion and wear. All these elements come together in the Springfield 1911 Emissary 45 ACP Full-Size Pistol with VZ G10 Grips, giving you a firearm that feels ready for anything.

• 5-inch hammer-forged stainless steel barrel with match-grade chamber
