GENESEO, ILL. (11\/04\/21) \u2013 <\/strong>Springfield Armory\u00ae is proud to announce two new additions to its Emissary 1911 pistol line<\/a>. Bridging the gap between duty and custom handguns, the Emissary delivers a bold and capable 1911 pistol with defense-minded features intended for serious use. The new 4.25\u201d .45 ACP<\/a> and 5\u201d 9mm<\/a> versions continue this tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Emissary blends form and function seamlessly in a firearm built for defense and loaded with custom-grade features. It\u2019s constructed with a forged stainless steel frame and forged carbon steel slide, with a beautiful two-tone finish. The blued carbon steel slide pairs with a stainless steel frame, featuring a distinctive squared triggerguard with additional room for ease of operation with a gloved hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The slide\u2019s \u201cTri-Top\u201d cut gives the Emissary custom styling, while a flattened top strap is finished with 40 LPI serrations to diffuse light and reduce glare. On top, the tritium and luminescent front sight on the Emissary pairs with a Tactical Rack U-Dot\u2122 rear sight for easy target acquisition in all lighting conditions.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inside the slide, the bushingless heavy stainless steel 4.25\u201d or 5\u201d bull barrel delivers maximum accuracy while reducing felt recoil and muzzle flip. In addition, the Emissary\u2019s skeletonized hammer delivers ultra-fast lock times and combines with a solid-body, flat-faced trigger for top-end performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The forged stainless frame\u2019s front strap and mainspring housing are wrapped in a grenade-pattern texture for firm engagement in adverse conditions. This is matched with slim line grip panels by VZ Grips\u00ae machined from G10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each pistol comes with two top-quality 8-round stainless steel magazines with base pads. MSRP for each is $1,279.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese newest additions to the Emissary line provide shooters with great options for a self-defense pistol with an additional measure of refinement,\u201d says Steve Kramer, Vice President of Marketing for Springfield Armory. \u201cWith either the more compact 4.25\u201d .45 ACP or the 5\u201d 9mm, these new Emissary pistols are a must-have for 1911 enthusiasts who demand the best.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
