John and Curt sit down to talk about the new Springfield Emissary 4.25" in 9mm.

Combining compact dimensions with qualities inspired by custom-grade 1911 pistols, the Emissary 4.25” in 9mm is ready for everyday carry. Its Tri-Top slide features light-diffusing 40 line-per-inch serrations along the sighting plane, and a heavy-profile forged stainless steel bull barrel ensures maximum accuracy. With a forged hot salt blued slide and forged stainless steel frame with squared trigger guard and grenade-pattern checkering, you get a pistol ready for display or defense
