The Springfield Armory 1911 Emissary pistol in 9mm with a 9+1 capacity and blacked-out finish (brand part no. PX9229L) blends custom 1911-style features into a serious defensive pistol. Springfield Armory forges the slide and frame from steel for strength and durability, and a Tri-Top cut with 40 LPI flat-top serrations diffuses light along the slide. The heavy-profile, fully supported bull barrel is forged from match-grade stainless steel with a 1-in-16-inch twist, and tritium front sights pair with a tactical rack U-notch rear for fast, precise aiming. Thin-line G10 grips and a one-piece full-length guide rod round out the package, with two 9-round magazines included. Among custom-grade semi-auto handguns, this 1911 Emissary configuration favors defensive-minded 1911 shooters.
