Kinda like the TRP Operator with a full rail. That would be trick.

Question. What is the advantage of a full rail? Never had a 1911 with a rail at all but am contemplating it.

I have a DW Specialist which has the partial rail as in the Springfield video above. For me it's plenty of real estate for mounting a weapon light. The full rail gives you more mounting flexibility for light/laser accessories with the (IMHO) aesthetics trade-off. I prefer the look of the partial rail to maintain the scalloped profile of the slide/frame fitment.

So far I have not encountered any mounting disadvantages with the partial-length rail.



But this is America, and choices are a great thing.

1st it’s just bad ass.
2nd the weapons light of choice and
3rd there is a noticeable nose weight. At least to me there is.
4th what a wonderful bludgeon it is when properly deployed

Well this offering is worth the response.
about 2 months ago I and AllenM started what I What would be my last custom build as life and assortment of other issue were changing. All the parts are paid for just waiting on a damned full rail frame that seems to have vanished to that place the odd sock goes. Over 2 months so far and it’s paid for. And did I mention the parts were paid for months ago.
crazy thing is with the current state of life this absolutely will be it for me. And I am getting pissy about it.

It would be great have this on the bench when I get my feet back under me.

Hilton Yam of 10-8 giving a detailed breakdown of the Emissary , apparently his handgun came with a 6# pull yikes. Probably a little bit better of a review than the Shill Supreme Sootch can do IMHO

I get your point about the well known corporate shill. I posted it as a first look vid so others could get a better look at it than just a pic because it's the first one that I came across.

Thanks for posting the HY vid though. I agree with it being a better technical review.

Why yes, yes it is.

I love this Beast, definitely Badass! I believe that the Emissary would only benefit from a full railed dust cover imo.
One of CM and AllenMs creations btw.

Forgot to add, its a 10mm.

Between all the full rail pics and THE MOUSE'S points, I may be readjusting my grail list

I have an older Springfield Target model and don't really need another 1911 right now. Still, this one has me rethinking that. View attachment 151555

Did you end up buying it?

Why do 1911s rarely have lanyard loops anymore.. Of course that goes for most pistols. Which reminds me I need to probably get another 1911, but i keep getting Beretta instead.
