The blacked-out Emissary is looking better and heading in the right direction but it's not so much a game changer. Come on Springfield, make it a DS in 10mm and you just might make a lot of sales, I'll be in for one. I mean, it already looks the part, lets just follow through!

Grenade grip surface, square trigger guard, choppy cuts on top of slide, bull barrel and rail.
I do like the sights and possibly the trigger. Call me traditional, just not late for dinner.

Ok, how does your mileage may vary have anything to do with my post that’s it’s available in .45? I’m old here I don’t do this social media slangs……

Your mileage may vary.
In other words, you may like this. It doesn't appeal to me, that's all.

Ok, just not used to these slang terms, had to look it up, lol….there not my cup of tea either, but at least now it’s in a different caliber, not a fan of the two piece design, meaning mostly all steel with a polymer grip, if I wanted a double stack .45, I would have bought a Para Ordnance when they were out, plus the all black barrel and such means very little, just me I guess

I think you may be mixing up the Echelon with this Emissary 1911 single stack which I believe is all metal frame. I also believe they added the 9mm to this model line (started with the 45 acp?), but could be wrong.
But don't fret Anni, when I got the email on this announcement this morning, I thought the same "hmm, the Echelon now in 45 acp, interesting
).old but still kicking

As a guy who only has a Colt LW Commander & shot maybe 1/2 dozen 45s that are 1911s my whole life, ( so I lived under a rock most of my life ) why are bull barrels bad ?? Harder to fieldstrip someone said. Gotta be honest, I thought it looked pretty cool - whether it shoots well is a different story maybe, but it made me look & say, hhhhmmm 
Curious what y’all think

Like the song by Joe Walsh, I'm just a "Ordinary Average Guy." For a 1911, I like a normal interpretation like SA Garrison or Ruger SR1911. I'm no gun snob, just certain ones appeal to be more than others.
