Ya i've read good things online about them but wanted to see if anyone had some real time with one. I want to use it as my open carry in the future. Plus it just looks amazing to me. The sights are a huge plus too.I don't have any experience with that particular pistol from SA, I do have lots of experience with many of their firearms over the years. IMO, they make a very reliable and accurate pistol, and especially the 1911's. Hands down, one of my favorite brands of 1911's.
Unfortunately i can only do one. But i'm sure it won't be my last.Buy two!
I don’t buy or shoot Springfield on principle alone. Having said that, the emissary is just another 1911 platform available in 9mm or .45ACP. Go to Nardis or Mission Ridge and rent any of their 1911s and you’ll know if you like the ergos/hand feel or not while saving about $1,350.
I already know the feel of a 1911. And it's never felt more natural. But i'm curious, Why is springfield a no no for you?I don’t buy or shoot Springfield on principle alone.

You couldn’t give me a glock. I have nothing against striker fired guns in general, but glock perfection feels like a brick. Just like the P365; the factory grip module is horrible, but throw a Wilson Combat grip module, the long slide and barrell on, and it’s a completely different gun.$1,350. You can by 5 Glocks for that.
Don't like the feel of glocks. Just doesn't feel right to me. Plus the price isn't a issue, yes it is a lot don't get me wrong. But i feel a grand for a decent 1911 isn't that bad.$1,350. You can by 5 Glocks for that.
Wilsons are amazing. At least their own guns and not just the copies. But i want 45 and anything over 2 grand is a bit much atm.You couldn’t give me a glock.

In case you’re wondering, my edc is a WC X9

Well i'll be damned. Ain't that some bull right there. Can't hide anything anymore, as it should be. People aren't stupid, sometimes.

But then you’d have to take five showers and use five paper bags over your head.$1,350. You can by 5 Glocks for that.
Look at RRA’s response after the news broke:…Seriously, why would an firearms manufacturer donate to a politician's campaign that would directly threaten their business?!?...
Maybe if Mad John ran for office...And honestly, this is Illinois we are talking about here! Is there a pro-gun politician to be found anywhere in that state?!?
That a really solid rebuttal. And i feel ya, there is two sides to every story. So until someone has solid proof its hearsay. Grandpa always told me not to assume, because it makes a ass out of you and me.I'm never bought into the claim that Springfield and RRA directly contributed to anti-gun politicians.
There has to be more to this story than is being reported.
Seriously, why would an firearms manufacturer donate to a politician's campaign that would directly threaten their business?!?
It's the Illinois Firearms Manufacturing Association (IFMA) that's the culprit here!
Pinning that on SA and RRA is like claiming you are responsible for a crime committed by someone you sold a gun to!
And honestly, this is Illinois we are talking about here! Is there a pro-gun politician to be found anywhere in that state?!?
Lastly, despite all the claims that this "scandal" would "harm" Springfield Arms, the company has been doing extremely well ever since which shows there's little credibility to the claims...
@benenglish is Mad John still around and ok? I miss his posts with pieces of his collection.Maybe if Mad John ran for office...
I can see the campaign poster now. You just know it would be him sitting on his front stoop with a transferable AK-47.
