Springfield Armory 1911 Emissary 9mm 4.25" Pistol - 9 Round

The Springfield Armory 1911 Emissary 9mm delivers enhanced accuracy and reliability in a compact 4.25-inch barrel configuration. This premium pistol combines traditional 1911 craftsmanship with modern performance features for serious shooters who demand precision.

What Makes This Different

The Emissary series stands apart from standard 1911 models through its match-grade barrel and enhanced trigger system. While typical production 1911s deliver 3-4 inch groups at 25 yards, the Emissary consistently produces sub-2 inch groups. The forged steel frame and slide construction provides superior durability compared to cast alternatives, with a service life rated for over 100,000 rounds.

Key Features

• Match-grade 4.25-inch stainless steel barrel with target crown for enhanced accuracy
• Forged carbon steel frame and slide with premium finish for maximum durability
• Enhanced trigger system with crisp 4.5-5 pound pull weight
• Low-profile combat sights with tritium night sight compatibility
• Beveled magazine well for faster reloads under pressure
• Ambidextrous thumb safety for left and right-handed shooters
• 9-round stainless steel magazine with witness holes

The 9mm chambering provides reduced recoil compared to .45 ACP variants while maintaining stopping power for personal defense applications. Competition shooters appreciate the consistent accuracy at distances up to 50 yards, while the compact 4.25-inch barrel length offers improved concealment without sacrificing ballistic performance. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion in humid environments and coastal conditions.
