Overview

The Emissary is chambered in .45 ACP with an 8+1 capacity and a 5″ match-grade bull barrel. Its construction relies on forged steel for the barrel, slide, and frame, delivering mass and rigidity that improve accuracy and reduce felt recoil. The two-tone presentation—salt-blued carbon steel slide paired with a stainless-steel frame—features a serrated, Tri-Top cut slide for reduced glare and a refined profile.

Barrel, Sights, and Ballistics

The 5″ stainless match-grade bull barrel and 1:16″ twist rate are tuned for .45 ACP loads, aiding consistent groups and reliable expansion with modern defensive rounds. Springfield Armory’s U-Dot sight system pairs a tritium front with a U-notch rear for fast, instinctive acquisition in daylight and low light. The heavier profile barrel also helps tame recoil impulse for faster follow-up shots.

Ergonomics and Controls

Frame features include a forged stainless-steel frame with a beavertail, squared trigger guard, and an integrated Picatinny rail that accepts lights or lasers. Controls are crisp: a skeletonized hammer for fast lock time, a slimline black VZ Thin-Line G10 grip for traction and comfort, and a grenade-pattern texture on the mainspring housing and front strap for sure purchase under stress. The package ships with one quality 8-round stainless magazine with base pad.
