I absolutely love my 5 inch 45ACP Emissary and feel it’s the best looking and shooting gun I own. Even in 45 shooting the gun is effortless and target results show how easy it is produce great groupings.

I actually had one in my hand the other day. Very nice looking firearm. I really would have purchased one if I was in the market for another 1911.

I couldn't agree more! It is always a great day at the range with mine.

That’s really nice but too rich for my blood… and wallet. Maybe some day. Most likely not though.

Interesting that the Emissary 4.25” keeps the steel frame…
Wish they’d done that with the Ronin instead of switching to aluminum for 4.25 bbl. I prefer a bit of weight in my .45s.

It’s too bad they cut the slide the way they did, those sharp right angle cuts aren’t needed and look like a hang up point for both ways in and out of a holster.

The smooth sleek lines of a classic 1911 are part of the aesthetic appeal of a timeless design. I own two SA classic 1911’s, both are .45 caliber. Me thinks sales will be less than stellar simply because of the slide.

Do you know if you can get a threaded barrel for this gun?

Make it with an aluminum frame, TRADITIONAL trigger guard, and stainless slide and I'll buy one.

Will SA install Emissary sights on my Ronin Operator?

Then it wouldn’t be an Emissary 1911.

Then it wouldn’t be an Emissary 1911.

But it WOULD be more comfortable to carry and it WOULD be easier to find holsters for.

To each his own.
