This past week Springfield Armory released a new 1911, the 1911 Emissary .45 ACP Handgun. This new .45 caliber pistol boasts a stainless/blued finish, square trigger guard, and a custom milled slide. The Emissary’s price is about mid-tier for 1911s. Learn more about The Emissary below.

Overview
“The Emissary is a serious defensive pistol loaded with features inspired by custom 1911’s. The “Tri-Top” cut to the slide and light diffusing 40 LPI flat top serrations give the pistol custom-grade styling, while a heavy-profile bull barrel delivers maximum accuracy and reduced muzzle flip. With a forged slide and stainless steel frame the Emissary blends form and function seamlessly in a defensive-minded firearm loaded with custom-grade features.”
