Description
The Springfield Armory Emissary AOS is a 1911-style semi-automatic pistol chambered in .45 ACP with a 5″ match-grade bull barrel and an optics-ready Tri-Top slide. Finished in black Cerakote, it pairs a forged slide and frame with VZ Thin-Line G10 grips and a one-piece full-length guide rod for consistent operation.
