Oddly enough our MP battalion carried them til 1996. The BC hated 9mm and kept them until the Army refused to give more 45 for training. We actually limited training to bare minimum to keep them longer, even ordering Springfield slides after the colts weren't available for parts. After they made us switch, the bc switched us all to concealed status and issued Sig's. When I retired in 2013 after being wounded in Afghanistan I was given the option to purchase my pistol. I was surprised by the armorer when he tracked down my original m11. It's not an a1 or a2 model and has an Army arsenal marking and made in West Germany stamped on it. Definitely, like me a relic.

We reviewed this Emissary last week and we’re very pleased with the features and functionality of this gun! Great review!

Beautiful 1911 a classic with a modern makeover an great review 👌🏻 as always ..

One of the most thorough reviews I have seen. Thank you!

Been looking everywhere for a disassemble review on this pistol very helpful thank you. Also love this gun in .45 my favorite gun to shoot at the range 👍

Beautiful machine work an angle cuts, the serrations lined up with a grip are aesthetically beautiful everything about this peace is beautiful.

Sootch is, a straight-talking shooter. I say this without any BS or attempt at being a smart a r s e. This review is to the point and his takedown explanation is the best I have seen. Thank you Sootch, I just ordered a Springfield Emissary in 45 ACP based on your excellent video.

Picked one up earlier this week - $1319 well worth the price. 2nd gun I’ve bought this year after watching one of your reviews. Best gun review channel on KZread.

Super sweet. I like the Novak improvements, the sights and the trigger guard. I’m running Springfield Armory 1911A1’s. Loved them for years. Thanks for the review.

Been shooting 1911 's for 45 years and i tell you this is the best looking 1911 so far. Price is high but i can save to purchase it . Perfect review Don .

Loved it! Great video. Thanks for this in-depth review.

Man..that's one good looking 1911 with a bull barrel & crowned too! That grip looks awesome & very effective in controlling recoil. Well done.

Great review Sir. I really appreciate you. Not only do I feel more confident with the safety of the firearm, but I also trust in the accuracy and quality of it. This was all so helpful for me as I’m new to the 1911, first time I now own one. So again thank you so much, I really appreciate you.

Thank you for the thorough review! My Springfield 1911 is a Trophy Match, manufactured in 2013. I love everything about it, EXCEPT that it was manufactured with a totally black front sight and back sight. I have no idea whatsoever why a pistol made for accuracy would come with black sights.

*i bought my Jericho 941F thx to sootch review video...awesome gun*

Thanks for another great one Mr Sootch

I own a Springfield GI 1911 in .45, 10+1. Great weapon--totally get the hype over the 1911. Apples and oranges and a step above my CZ-75 IMO.

Thanks Sootch. Great job. Good info.

Very nice gun👍Nice review,thank you.

Great review as always. Thank you.

As soon as they release a 9mm, I'll be chasing it. Nothing wrong w 45 or 10mm, but everything I own is 9, so no issues with ammo or even my other 9mm mags.

Excellent video. You made my purchase decision easier!!!

Outstanding review. Thanks.

OK i just found my next 1911! Great review!

Good, detailed presentation as usual.

How did you like it?

Handled one at the gunshop and was impressed with the extremely high quality and feature rich design. Zero play in slide, frame barrel, trigger so wonder if long break in will be needed and if possibly too tight for combat conditions. Not a fan of the squared trigger guard and forward serrations on top of the slide and not on the sides but not a deal breaker. Great grip. I have several books on 1911 gunsmithing and enjoy accurizing and customizing 1911's. I feel like I really couldn't do anything to improve or customize this pistol, so a lower level Springfield might be better for me. If you want custom quality at a sub custom price this might be the perfect 1911 for you.

Sweet grouping there Sooth!

Beautiful 1911, I like the bull barrel. Going to add Emissary to my collection.

That is one beautiful pistol. Awesome review👍🏼

Scoot has, you are the best; excellent delivery and excellent video. You have wonderful delivery. Keep up the great work. Gog bless the Repulic, the

Fantastic video, Sootch! I tried to get one after watching another video and no such luck. By the way, there is thin protective tool called “the idiot scratch prevention tool” and it works PERFECTLY. I highly recommend it!

Outstanding. I love my TRP

Got dang that is a beautiful piece!!! 😳😍👍🏻

Wow, im in love with this handgun. Its gourgous. I don't currently own a 1911, and am interested in one. I've shot them, just never owned one. But yeah, it's a nice one.

💥💥💥LOVE YOUR VIDEOS, SOOTCH!!!💥💥💥

bull barrel is nice. I have a TRP full rail and it really is the softest recoiling 1911 I own.

I first saw & read about the Emissary in the American Rifleman. After seeing this video, I want one! I love it in a 6" slide also. In my day bull barrels were only custom competition accessory. The crowning feature is great preventing barrel end damage. Love the bull barrel & the grip design. I hate checkering, my taste. My favorite dressing is a 2 tone look. In the service I always qualified expert with a 1911. This video has me willing to deal with NYC bullshit paperwork to own one. Vid does a great job showcasing & show the firing range tests.

Absolutely stunning! Damn! Springfield, bring out a 10mm option please. They will sell! Thanks for the awesome review

Sir, you are the best gun reviewer on KZread.

This is a cool one, the gun no one knew was coming. Pretty slick. I did a bull barrel on my Bul Armory... kinda regret it though. Looks cool, but the biggest pain in the ass for takedown. The greenade checkering and some of the cuts, sights, trigger on this thing is hot.

Great review. Mr Browning would be proud.

Sweet piece!

Man that’s a beauty for sure.

I saw many months ago on one of the WWII videos the casualty list had no reports of injuries from 45 cal. I think it was related to using 30 cal carbine. It implied there were no 1911 pistol wounds. I don't recall those being issued to regular troops, just officers.

LONG LIVE THE REPUBLIK, STRENGTH AND HONOR! 🎖 Precise focal and trigger skills and targetting.

1911s were still in the active U.S. Army inventory in mechanized Infantry units in Germany through the early 1990s. I carried an Army issue Springfield 1911 during PG1.

Another great video

Can never go wrong with a 1911

That is a really good looking pistol!

Love it i want one Springfield Armory I'm starting a wish list

How sweet it is!

I love a really sweet Springfield 1911

Have 1 on order hopefully it gets here soon .

About time this channel shoots something besides 9mm. One thing of note about ambidextrous safteys....if you can't flick off that safety with your left-handed hold, you may not be able to save your life if you've been disabled the use of the right arm. For that reason I'd prefer an ambi saftey on the 1911.

I think I'm in love again lol!!

Wanted a 1911 for so long was super PO'd when the 1911 Long-Slide I wanted went out of stock, no back-order or restock. Managed to nab a new one a few days ago that I've fallen in love with since I held it.

I had to watch this. Now I want one

Damn that is one good looking pistol!

Awesome 911 never seen one like that before I have the TRP OPERATOR so I have to get that emissary new model the price is not too bad for all the custom accessories it has built in.

That's a good looking firearm.💯

Aaahhh! You reassembled without greasing it!! breathe ... breathe ... whew ... OK I'm fine. Whew. Woosah.

Man that’s a great looking piece As always great review God bless America long live the republic!

that trigger guard is a lot like detective Mills (brad pitt) 1911 in the movie se7en. one of my favorite movie guns!

Best review of this pistol on the Internet. Always love your videos because you are so thorough. Keep up the Great videos. Already ordered mine from my local gun shop.

I'd love to have one of these. Great job on the video. Great job Springfield. God bless all here.
