Features & Specs

Springfield Armory designed the Emissary series to offer enhanced ergonomics and durability without drifting into gimmick territory. The full-size steel frame and 5-inch barrel give you a balanced feel that tames the 45 ACP round, while the bull barrel setup improves accuracy potential. The trigger is a solid aluminum match-grade unit with an adjustable trigger stop, and the skeletonized hammer offers a crisp, consistent break. You also get a lowered and flared ejection port for reliable cycling, plus a dovetailed front sight with a red fiber optic and a tactical rack U-notch rear sight for quick target acquisition.

The springfield 1911 emissary 45 acp full-size pistol with vz g10 grips comes with two 7-round magazines and a fitted carrying case. Every Emissary undergoes a functional test at the factory, so you can expect a pistol that runs from the first round. The magazine well is subtly beveled to aid reloads, and the slide features front and rear serrations for positive manipulation regardless of conditions.

Who It’s For

This pistol is for the shooter who wants a no-compromise 1911 without stepping into full custom pricing. If you are a competitive shooter in single-stack divisions, the bull barrel and trigger give you an edge without requiring smith work. For the enthusiast who appreciates fit and finish, the polished flats and sharp line work on the slide speak to Springfield’s attention to detail. It is also a strong choice for anyone looking to step up from a basic GI-style 1911 to something with modern sight options, better ergonomics, and a trigger that rewards careful shooting. The VZ G10 grips are a standout addition—they provide a secure purchase even with sweaty hands, so you can focus on your grip and sight alignment rather than fighting the pistol.

• Ideal for range use, USPSA single-stack, and defensive carry
• Suited for shooters who prefer a full-size steel frame for recoil control
• Great for those who want a factory 1911 with custom-level features
