  • I know some may take issue with my title of "new". However, is you have been or are the 1911 pistol, and you wear your "Boomer" Badge proudly. Then you will agree the "new" 1911's coming out of Springfield Armory for 2024 are a vibe, as the kids say these days.

    This in a Double Stack and Optic Cut. Also a 4.25 threaded DS Version.

      Agree. I don’t mind 9mm but I feel there’s better guns for 9mm.

      I’m not sure they could get the money out of a 13 round 1911 double stack. There is a reason it’s not being done. I get there are guys who like 45’ but I bet if there was a poll. The capacity of the 9mm would win

    It’s cool, but 9mm 1911’s don’t make a lot of sense to me. It’s .45 or 10mm for me. My CZ Shadow 2 SA costs and weights about the same, has a nicer trigger and twice the capacity. It’s a looker, though.

      @@rogerwarren7908 I used to think we got tuned guns. Or marketing samples that had been “inspected”. So when the 1911 DS prodigy’s came out. I bought the 4” locally and got the 5” from Springfield. Both guns are 2k rounds To date,
      9mm single stack guns can have issues. The operator model that I purchased. Which we did a review on. Worked great zero issues. Other than the rear size dove tail being too large for the actual sight. But the pistol performance was spot on.
      Drop me a link on the other reviewers who had issues. I’m always watching and looking to see if it was pistol or shooter. There are a lot of content creators on the 1911 platform who have basic 1911 grip issues.

    Still no ambi thumb safety and they still aren’t fitting the extractor. That is why it sticks out from the rear of the slide. That is just lazy. Also this thing needs a magwell and an optic cut. It’s 2024.

    Tell the great “guys” at Springfield Marketing to stop spreading the love (BS) and let their engineering team redesign this pistol with an optics ready slide. No Optics = “No” purchase. Springfield needs to grow up and stop marketing to old geezers. I’m old too, but I expect and demand more for my money, and we should just say no to these manufacturers that are coming out with a less than product. This is a money grab without delivering value to the consumer! Didn’t bother wasting my time watching this review for a pistol made for the last century.

      A National Association of Sporting Goods Wholesalers and National Shooting Sports Foundation report released this month found most enthusiasts purchasing a new pistol either want a red-dot optic on the gun or the ability to mount an aftermarket version easily.

    I have the original Emissary, and I love it. I'm a Springfield Armory 1911 fan. However, I bought a Prodigy last month. It was a failure. It's at Springfield Armory now. Since its introduction, you'd think Springfield Armory would have these issues straight now. Before Springfield Armory considers making an Emissary double stack, etc, they better do some serious QC testing.
