Features & Specs

The Springfield 1911 Emissary 45 ACP full-size pistol with VZ G10 grips comes loaded with details that make a difference on the range. Here is what you can expect from this handgun:

• Forged carbon steel slide with a black Armory Kote finish for corrosion resistance and a subtle, matte look
• 5-inch match-grade bull barrel with a fully supported ramp for consistent accuracy and reliable feeding
• Flat-face trigger with a crisp, short reset that breaks at around 4 to 5 pounds out of the box

Other key specs include a forged stainless steel frame with a two-tone satin finish, a lowered and flared ejection port for positive ejection, and a beavertail grip safety with a memory bump. The dovetailed front sight features a fiber optic insert, while the rear sight is a low-profile tactical unit with a serrated face to reduce glare. Magazines are 7-round stainless steel with a polymer base pad and a bumper that helps with reloads.

Who It Is For

This handgun is built for Alabama shooters who want a full-size 1911 that performs without needing immediate upgrades. It is a strong choice for the shooter who spends weekends at the range working on accuracy, or for the competitor who wants a reliable .45 for local matches. The Springfield 1911 Emissary 45 ACP full-size pistol with VZ G10 grips also suits anyone who prefers a heavier, steel-framed pistol for home defense or as a range companion. The VZ G10 grips provide a textured, non-slip surface even in humid Alabama conditions, and the overall weight of the pistol helps manage recoil, making it easier to stay on target for follow-up shots. If you appreciate a 1911 that feels solid in the hand and shoots as well as it looks, this one checks those boxes.
