1911 Emissary By Springfield Armory First Mag Review
About this video
Colion reviews the Springfield Armory Emissary 1911 chambered in 9mm with a 4.25-inch barrel. He emphasizes his appreciation for the gun’s aesthetics, trigger quality, grip texture, and shooting experience, which he describes as highly satisfying due to minimal recoil and excellent sight alignment. Colion notes the primary drawback is the limited 9-round magazine capacity typical of single-stack 1911s, though he argues the shooting experience compensates for this limitation.
Key takeaways
- Colion praises the Emissary’s shooting characteristics, describing the trigger as smooth with a short reset and the recoil management as exceptional for a 9mm 1911
- According to Colion, the aggressive grip texture and U-notch sights with a bright green front sight contribute to an accurate and satisfying shooting experience
- Colion identifies the 9-round capacity as the gun’s main weakness, limiting extended shooting sessions despite the gun making shooters want to continue firing
