Just in for review work is Springfield Armory's latest 1911 model, the
Emissary, for an upcoming issue of
Shooting Illustrated. 5" bull barrel, stainless railed frame, blued carbon steel slide, .45ACP chambering, two mags in the box.
Some unusual stylistic and functional choices in this gun. It's not a gamer gun, but there are some things that are off the beaten path for a CCW piece, too.
Oh well, I'd best get to shootin' it...
