The forged build is the foundation of this pistol. It features a forged carbon-steel slide over a forged stainless-steel frame, both finished in black Cerakote for a uniform, all-black presentation. The slide uses a tri-top profile with a flat, serrated top rib and diagonal front and rear grasp serrations for confident manipulation.
A 4.25-inch, match-grade, forged stainless-steel bull barrel sits at the core. It is nitride-treated, bushingless, and includes a fully supported feed ramp with a 1:16 twist. A Commander-length recoil system complements the single-action 1911 platform to complete this compact 9mm configuration.
Controls and ergonomics include a squared trigger guard, beavertail grip safety with a raised memory pad, a left-side thumb safety, and a skeletonized rowel hammer. The front strap and mainspring housing carry grenade-pattern texturing, and the thin-line VZ Grips G10 panels provide a slim hold. A flared and beveled magazine well speeds reloads.
The full-length dust cover integrates a 5-slot Picatinny accessory rail for mounting compatible lights or accessories. Sights consist of a tritium front with a white outline and luminescent dot, paired with a black ledge-style Tactical Rack U-Notch rear for a clear, practical sight picture.
Dimensions and capacity are well-specified: overall length is 7.75 inches, height is 5.25 inches, and unloaded weight is 42 ounces. The pistol is chambered in 9mm Luger with a 9+1 capacity and ships with two 9-round magazines. This all-black Emissary configuration was announced March 21, 2024, and is made in the United States.
