 Springfield Armory emissary first shot. Hey there friends, thanks for checking in today We're looking at a new release from Springfield Armory called the emissary It's a 1911 That is a beautiful looking 1911, but what it has are modern features We're going to talk about that check out that g10 grip They're very thin and the mainspring housing has a texturing there that mimics the same feel as The g10 grips same with the front strap. So when you grip this it just feels real firm a Very nice ergonomic feel to it Gray frame forged steel Glossy blue slide see how glossy it is and picking up my my camera lights there But on top it is matte black So it'll cut down on the glare it does have some serrations there to cut down on the glare You can see the rear serrations there deep cut as well as forward serrations On top of the slide for those press checks Right there it does come with two eight round magazines a Rail a pick rail there and a sight system that is very familiar to me those who have the Hellcat It's a very familiar sight system. You see that you right there It does have the ledge there to charge off a boot or a table if you need to and a tritium Front dot with a luminous it's around so you're getting a nice bright sight picture and the reason I said it's a familiar sight pictures because they offer the same one on the Hellcat and I really like it I settled into it right away at the range right out of the case you just put that tritium front dot in that half circle and It's pretty dead nuts right out of the case. Just love it made the 45 feel like nothing It's also on the xdm elite models All right, so they're using that same sight picture and I I I like it. It just it just works for me immediately Let's check out that trigger. We already showed clear they came out with a flat face trigger I'm measuring right at four and a half pounds and that's what we're looking at This is why people love 1911 check this out right there a very smooth shooter and if you look at some of the ejections that just Fired out there to the right with a very nice ejection pattern it does have the Thumb safety on the left side of the pistol not on the right side of the pistol But the MSRP on this is 12 79 and if you go with the emissary you'll get two eight round magazines a soft case Along with the paperwork in the case and everything else and right here This is a little pin I'm going to show this because if we look at the business end of this We'll see that it has a bull barrel with a recessed crown, but it is bushing list so the disassemble is a little bit different. I Just fell in love with it the first time I took it out and it just shot so nice So let's roll through some of that footage. We'll come back and talk more about this new 1911 eight rounds 230 grain self-defense loads Let's take a look at some of the Modern features that the emissary offers and we're going to compare it with the para USA expert initially You can see that the emissary is two-tone. It's got that glossy slide there Take a look at the grips. We've got rubber on the left with the para G10 with the emissary Looking at the mainspring housing already showed that texturing that is very nice Serrated vertical lines and then the front strap we can see that same texturing with the emissary on the right No texturing on the para there. It does have a pick rail For any accessories to be added does not offer that there We take a look at the trigger a flat face trigger versus a trigger very common on 1911's okay Springfield stepped away with that Flat face trigger we look at the serrations on top forward serrations And then the rear serrations okay deep cut with the emissary in the back there and then the sites We can see you know the u-dot Tritium front dot and here. We've got a fiber optic front sight, but I tell you I do so well with This sight picture that it just makes shooting enjoyable at the range I mentioned that this assembles a bit different. Okay, bushing list bull barrel So let's go ahead and show how that works. We'll start with the slide lock back You can see that the emissary uses a full-length guide rod and in that guide rod. There is a little hole right there See that hole and it comes with this pin Now if you happen to lose the pin You can form fit a paper clip in there, but you want to put the pin The tip of the pin in like that so that That is looking just like that see the pin All right, and that will compress the spring which will give the slide well once I release it It'll give the slide More access to move real easily I'll take the pin and just push it through and remove the pin and then just take the slide off of the frame and There you have it Now we're going to move the barrel all the way back Push the link down so I can remove the recoil spring and full-length guide rod and Then just push that barrel forward And there it is completely disassembled There's a look at the frame and the upper Now I was shooting this so I'm gonna go ahead and clean it up and we'll put it back together We'll go ahead and reinsert the barrel and then take your compressed recoil spring and guide rod place it in there should fit nice and snug and then we'll put the Slide back onto the frame of course we'll look for that Link and there it is Once we do we'll put the slide stop pin And there and we're going to avoid the dummy scratch once again easy to move the slide because that spring is compressed and Then we're going to avoid the dummy scratch by moving this Upward and just like that that pin is inserted You can see all the way through and then at this point We'll make sure that the slide is all the way locked back and then we'll remove that pin Just like that The emissary This assembled and reassembled so there is Springfield Armory emissary Offering the modern features that shooters love while keeping the long-standing and outstanding Mechanics of a 1911 that so many people love the accuracy is amazing the overall feel Fit and function is great, and I think This one is going to do very well for Springfield Armory if you like videos like this, please subscribe and share I always appreciate thumbs up button.
