Who It’s For

Whether you are a competitive shooter in USPSA Single Stack division, a defensive pistol owner seeking a full-size platform for home defense, or a collector who values Springfield Armory’s manufacturing heritage, the Emissary delivers. The VZ G10 grips provide the texture needed for rapid follow-up shots without glove wear, and the full-length guide rod reduces muzzle flip during sustained fire. Ohio residents carrying under a CHL will appreciate the slim profile and 7+1 capacity of the .45 ACP cartridge.
