NEW 9mm Springfield Emissary 1911 in All Black

[@lenholt7419]

I own Springfields. They are all beautiful when new. I don't think the manufacturing approach using MIM justifies cost. Some will vehemently argue this point. It is a modern take on a 100+ year old design. I have been watching the New Refresh of their 1911 model line. It looks like for this model. Black(Salt Bluing)/White(Stainless), Now Black Cerakote. (Sarcasm) I can hardly wait for FDE and Stainless. Oh... they offer that on other models. I may have missed, But the Square Trigger Guard is a unique approach on this model. I guess next year we might see an optics cut similar to the Echelon. Maybe we will get a one piece magwell that will be offered in a few more years. An alloy frame would be outstanding. For me the Emissary is a direct competitor to Dan Wesson TCP model however lacking in some features. I applaud the marketing of the refresh. Savvy, however limited. I guess that is to drive some business to their custom shop. I too appreciate the U notch and Bright front sight approach. My personal taste is the rear U notch to be blacked out. Great discussion and more data on this model. Good Vid.

"Smoothlessly" ... a new adjective (6:21) But that's not the only reason I love your videos.

[@riju2294]

LOL! Went to the comments to see If I was the only one that caught that.😂

[@alvolante4164]

❤ like en also. Simple reviews and kind of brief. Everyone else makes 20 ++ minutes and are redundant.

[@toddparsons2980]

That is an extremely good looking pistol 👍

Just bought the 5” 9mm… I have 3 Wilson’s and now that companies like Wilson have jacked prices to over $4,000, my Operator is a steal at less than $1,000. Springfield is catering to 1911 fans - not many US companies are and their products are outstanding!

You can lock the slide back, stick the "paper clip" through the guide rod, then slowly release the slide. Now the spring is captured and you can do the takedown and/or reassembly without needing to fight the spring. Maybe it isn't a big deal with the light spring in the 9mm gun but makes it a lot easier with the heavier spring in the .45ACP gun.

The slide looks like a Springfield prodigy

[@b.c.731]

This is a nice model. Really like it. Looks awesome. Great review.

[@dexternorman6283]

Awesome video just purchased firearm now u got me wanting another one awesome video keep up the great work 👍

[@jbernard5399]

Love this channel, best reviews on KZbin! Can you do a PSA Dagger review?

[@joefuentez7232]

The first time I saw this gun I thought how ugly! But now the more I see it I realize it’s basically a 1911 with an updated sexy look to it and it’s grown on me, a lot! And YES, the rail looks like it belongs! Any other 1911 with the rail just doesn’t look right to me because I’m more of a 1911 purist. I like my 1911s to be clean but the rail on this works!!!

[@williamscott3444]

It's a handsome edgy looking pistol. Love the bull barrel,frag grips, square trigger guard. Can't wait to see one in person. Thanks for the video....good stuff.

[@drivvinofficial]

Beautiful piece.

[@hopethisoneworksman]

That shred of daylight left at the top of the trigger reminds me of the DDH9 I’m sure it’s fine, it just don’t sit right with me optically

[@steven3379]

Takes down just like my Sig P938 Legion! Except for the guide rod.

[@randomdudeyoudontknow]

Beautiful gun, very good review 👍

[@ilovejesus973]

Great video.

[@charlesscioli5268]

Great job on the video! Great looking gun! What is the trigger made of?

[@MOOCH180]

Nice looking pistol

[@dougsmith6433]

Why don’t they put optic cuts on from the factory?

[@billj5645]

1. extra cost, 2. maybe they think 1911 buyers are traditional and don't want them. Springfield Prodigy does have optic cuts.

[@Chris-pw3ev]

They just made them with optics cut as of recent for no extra cost

[@justusbryant7366]

This or the new TRP?

[@adamkaminski]

Beauty 😍

[@knastera]

Question: Why does Springfield continue to use right hand only safeties on many of their 1911 models? I'm a lefty and I can't use guns like this in condition one.

[@chrismolina2513]

Operator comes ambi

[@traeucity6087]

Because most people are right-handed and many right-handed shooters don't want the drawbacks of an ambi-safety.

[@johnbuntin7188]

Loaded models come ambidextrous.

[@traeucity6087]

Feature wise, this pistol is comparable to the Dan Wesson TCP.

[@hondasaurusrex6998]

Looks like someone almost shot out the center of the target.

[@saltsea9499]

and still no optics option🤨

[@Fjohnnnn]

Really, the texturing? I never held a gun where the grips tore up my hand . Some are slightly more aggressive than others. Is it really a selling point?

[@johndilday1846]

Sure thing. But it’s not your hand you should be concerned with. Really rough textured guns tear up your skin when holstered against the body. That’s what killed Glock’s RTF2 finish on some grips in early Gen 4 guns.

[@crabbyturtle1594]

👍👍🇺🇸

[@robertallen8841]

Springfield should pick a guide rod system and stick to it. They have the clingiest take downs. Pass…

[@buckeye2246]

You don't need to use the word "literally" every time that you mention how much something costs. It is literally annoying. See what I mean? ​@deltapapashootingexperience

[@howardkahn4330]

weighs 40 oz. not optics ready.....

[@dawidurbanski9977]

Recently Springfield presented an optics ready version of some of their 1911s (Ronin AOS, Operator AOS, EMISSARY AOS). AOS - Agency Optics System.

[@kzyt87]

SA copy sig , make a new color = a new model lol
