This Emissary pairs a blued, tri-top slide with polished flats to a matte stainless forged frame for a purposeful two-tone look. The slide adds 40 LPI flat-top serrations, front and rear cocking serrations, and a lowered and flared ejection port. The combination emphasizes clean lines and smooth handling while retaining classic 1911 ergonomics.
The 4.25-inch bushingless bull barrel is forged stainless, match-grade, and features a fully supported ramp and flush crown. A 1:16 twist and the barrel hood marked "S.A. 45AUTO." underscore the .45 ACP chambering and attention to detail. Listed weight is 38.5 oz with an overall length of 7.75 in and height of 5.25 in.
U-Dot night sights include a tritium/luminescent front dot and a Tactical Rack U-Notch rear, both dovetailed. The flat, solid trigger and single-action, short-recoil operation deliver the familiar 1911 feel. Safety features include a beavertail grip safety with memory bump and a manual thumb safety.
Control surfaces are thoughtfully executed: a squared trigger guard, grenade-pattern texture on the front strap and mainspring housing, and VZ thin-line G10 grenade-pattern grips provide a positive hold. The magwell is lightly beveled for efficient reloads. A standard-length dust cover with no accessory rail maintains the Emissary's clean profile.
This Commander-length, full-size 1911 ships with two 8-round magazines for a 8+1 capacity and includes the Springfield Armory soft case and owner’s manual. It is the PX9218L variant, made in the USA, and reflects the Emissary series design language throughout.
