As a fan of 1911's, I had been looking for something a little less traditional and maybe, a little more tactical. Several weeks ago my dealer called and said he had something I needed to look at. Enter the Springfield Emissary. Bull barrel, tritium front sight, VZ G-10 grips with matching main spring housing and front strap checkering, and an accessory rail had me interested. After holding it a few seconds in the store, I told him I'd take it. Only put a few magazines through it thus far but it does shoot extremely well. Not a big surprise that a 40 ounce, full size 1911 is a soft shooting pistol!
I recently ordered a Nelson Wrangler leather OWB holster for it from James Nelson at Nelson Holsters. Going to be about a 8 week turn around but feel it will be worth the wait.
