It\u2019s a crisp and clean 1911 that many shooters feel is a custom-grade machine that shoots like a dream. The 1911 TRP achieves accuracy that makes an average shooter feel like a professional.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><picture decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-41737\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/trp-vs-emissary-1911.jpg.webp 1370w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/trp-vs-emissary-1911-800x542.jpg.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/trp-vs-emissary-1911-400x271.jpg.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/trp-vs-emissary-1911-768x521.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/trp-vs-emissary-1911-600x407.jpg.webp 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1370px) 100vw, 1370px\"\/>\n<\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Springfield Armory offers many variations of the classic 1911 design. Here are the TRP (left) and the Emissary (right) that the author is\u00a0comparing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In 2021, Springfield introduced the 1911 Emissary. The <a class=\"ajax-article\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/first-look-springfield-armory-emissary-1911-review\/\">1911 Emissary<\/a> took modern features on a 1911 pistol to a whole new level. Everything from the look of the pistol to the sights to the build construction gave shooters a very unique 1911.<\/p>\n<p>For me, the 1911 Emissary shoots as accurately as the 1911 TRP. So basically, we have an older and incredibly refined 1911 Tactical Response Pistol and a beautiful newer 1911 Emissary with modern features to choose from. How about we break down and compare these two 1911 pistols?\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get a Grip<\/h2>\n<p>The Springfield 1911 TRP has \u201cgrippy\u201d 20-line-per inch checkering on the frontstrap. The 1911 Emissary\u2019s grip is like nothing I have seen before. It uses thin G-10 grips with \u201cgrenade pattern\u201d checkering that matches the texturing on the frontstrap and the flat mainspring housing.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><picture decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-41738\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/springfield-trp-vs-emissary-1911.jpg.webp 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/springfield-trp-vs-emissary-1911-800x480.jpg.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/springfield-trp-vs-emissary-1911-400x240.jpg.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/springfield-trp-vs-emissary-1911-768x461.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/springfield-trp-vs-emissary-1911-600x360.jpg.webp 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1400\" height=\"840\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/springfield-trp-vs-emissary-1911.jpg\" alt=\"springfield trp vs emissary 1911\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/springfield-trp-vs-emissary-1911.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/springfield-trp-vs-emissary-1911-800x480.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/springfield-trp-vs-emissary-1911-400x240.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/springfield-trp-vs-emissary-1911-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/springfield-trp-vs-emissary-1911-600x360.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/>\n<\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Springfield Armory gave the Emissary a sleek, modern look complete with updated combat sights, accessory rail and great\u00a0grips.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Each of these offer a solid grip purchase however, if I had to choose one, I personally am going with the consistent grip texture on the 1911 Emissary.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Feeding the Beasts<\/h2>\n<p>Both the TRP and Emissary ship with two .45 ACP magazines. The 1911 TRP magazines are built strong and carry seven rounds. The 1911 Emissary ships with two eight-round MecGar magazines.

The 1911 TRP has, what Springfield Armory calls, a blended magwell. This is an extended and flared magwell that aids in magazine insertion. The \u201cblend\u201d also appears with the magazine baseplate and the base of the magwell creating a one-piece-looking design.<\/p>\n<p>I think it looks super cool, therefore I am giving the nod to the TRP for the \u201cblended\u201d feature.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Triggering<\/h2>\n<p>When discussing 1911 triggers, many shooters get hung up on the trigger pull poundage, so let\u2019s get this out of the way right now. Both the TRP and Emissary have trigger weights that break at 4.25 lbs.<\/p>\n<div class=\"newsletter inline\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: none;\" class=\"logo-tal-icon\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/themes\/thearmorylife\/img\/logo-tal-tm-icon.svg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Live The Armory Life.<\/strong> The latest content straight to your inbox plus an automatic entry to each of our <a class=\"ajax-giveaways\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/giveaways\/\"><strong>monthly gun\u00a0giveaways!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Now, let\u2019s get to the differences. The 1911 TRP has a traditional aluminum trigger that is standard with many Springfield 1911 pistols. Shooters love the crisp pull and short trigger reset. The engineers at Springfield created a full-body flat trigger on the Emissary. We are living in the days of a \u201cflat trigger\u201d nation, and shooters dig \u2019em.<\/p>\n<p>Being that the Emissary is a \u201cmodern-featured\u201d 1911, it stands to reason it uses a modern flat-faced trigger. Both perform well; however, I am choosing the Emissary for that flat-face trigger.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Slide on Over<\/h2>\n<p>The slide and frame on the 1911 TRP are Cerakoted black with a slight shine. It also has an ambidextrous thumb safety that suits left-handed shooters quite well. \u201cTactical\u201d is engraved on the frame and \u201cTRP \u201d is engraved on the rear of the slide above the thumb safety. It uses traditional angle cut slide serrations on the front and rear of the slide. Nice.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><picture decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-41740\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/slide-differences.jpg.webp 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/slide-differences-800x560.jpg.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/slide-differences-400x280.jpg.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/slide-differences-768x538.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/slide-differences-600x420.jpg.webp 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1400\" height=\"980\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/slide-differences.jpg\" alt=\"slide differences\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/slide-differences.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/slide-differences-800x560.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/slide-differences-400x280.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/slide-differences-768x538.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/slide-differences-600x420.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/>\n<\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The differences between the two 1911 pistols are apparent when comparing the slides. They have different finishes and slide\u00a0shapes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The modern Emissary slide is a work of art. The side of the slide is a high-gloss shiny black and the top strap is matte black. Springfield Armory calls the wide cut forward serrations and build of the slide \u201cTri-Top.\u201d The overall look of the Emissary slide is beautifully elegant.<\/p>\n<p>Having said that, my traditional side is choosing the slide on the TRP. I love the consistent heavy black Cerakote.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I See You<\/h2>\n<p>The 1911 Tactical Response Pistol is equipped with three-dot tritium night sights.

It features a large tritium front sight with a white luminescent ring surrounding the tritium. The rear sight has a bright \u201cU\u201d creating a <a class=\"ajax-article\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/understanding-the-hellcat-u-dot\/\"><span class=\"nowrap\">U-Dot<\/span> system<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The 1911 Emissary sight picture is familiar to me due to my experience with the Hellcat and <span class=\"nowrap\">XD-M<\/span> Elite models. It points so naturally with shots on target. Therefore, I am going with the sights on the Emissary because they are a modern feature that helps me shoot more accurately.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Internal Build<\/h2>\n<p>Both the 1911 TRP and Emissary have 5\u201d match grade barrels. However, the 1911 Emissary is available with shorter barrels. The Emissary uses a bushingless bull barrel.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full flush\"><picture decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-41742\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/grip-differences.jpg.webp 1050w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/grip-differences-656x800.jpg.webp 656w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/grip-differences-328x400.jpg.webp 328w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/grip-differences-768x936.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/grip-differences-600x731.jpg.webp 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1050px) 100vw, 1050px\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1050\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/grip-differences.jpg\" alt=\"grip differences\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/grip-differences.jpg 1050w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/grip-differences-656x800.jpg 656w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/grip-differences-328x400.jpg 328w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/grip-differences-768x936.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/grip-differences-600x731.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1050px) 100vw, 1050px\"\/>\n<\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The grenade pattern texture used on the G10 grips of the Emissary (front) is visually distinctive and very functional. It helps to lock the pistol in the\u00a0hand.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The 1911 TRP has a more traditional barrel system, However, there\u2019s a catch. The 1911 TRP has a two-piece, full-length guide rod. The 1911 Emissary has a one-piece, full-length guide. The main difference here is the disassembly process. Due to the somewhat complexity of the differences, I am going to refer you to the attached video that will explain the disassembly process better than I can write in words.<\/p>\n<p>Both systems work well for each 1911 pistol, but this one is a draw. I am choosing the bull barrel Emissary because it offers reduced recoil when shooting. I am choosing the 1911 TRP due to the simplicity of the disassembly process.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>The 1911 Emissary\u2019s MSRP is $1,378. With a quick search, the Emissary can be purchased between $1,100-$1,200. The 1911 TRP\u2019s MSRP is $1,732. The street price falls between $1,300-$1,400.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><picture decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-41743\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/comparing-the-1911-pistols.jpg.webp 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/comparing-the-1911-pistols-800x447.jpg.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/comparing-the-1911-pistols-400x223.jpg.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/comparing-the-1911-pistols-768x429.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/comparing-the-1911-pistols-600x335.jpg.webp 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1400\" height=\"782\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/comparing-the-1911-pistols.jpg\" alt=\"comparing the 1911 pistols\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/comparing-the-1911-pistols.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/comparing-the-1911-pistols-800x447.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/comparing-the-1911-pistols-400x223.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/comparing-the-1911-pistols-768x429.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/comparing-the-1911-pistols-600x335.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/>\n<\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Both the TRP and the Emissary are excellent pistols. Choosing one over the other will come down to your specific needs and\u00a0wants.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If you have experience with the Springfield Armory line of 1911\u2019s, then you understand that they all fire incredibly accurately and are built with match grade components. Basically, you cannot make a poor decision when going with a Springfield 1911.<\/p>\n<p>The 1911 TRP and 1911 Emissary are first-class 1911 pistols. They are both loaded with features that make range time a pleasurable experience. In the video, I mentioned there is not a great shooting difference and I stand by that. Both perform exactly as Springfield Armory intended them to. I appreciate the craftsmanship and detail they each offer.<\/p>\n<p>Having said that, if I had to choose only one, as hard as that would be, I would choose the 1911 Tactical Response Pistol.
