The 9mm Emissary launched alongside the 45 ACP version, acknowledging that most buyers entering the premium 1911 price range today prefer 9mm for ammo cost and recoil management. The same VZ G10 grips, match-grade barrel, and flat-faced trigger from the 45 ACP version carry over unchanged. Springfield positioned the pair as a choice of caliber, not a hierarchy of quality. Type: Pistol Action: Semi-Automatic Caliber: 9mm Capacity: 9 Year introduced: 2021, USA Weight: 38.5 oz Overall length: 8.75" Status: Active Intended use: Duty, Self-Defense
