Nice - I was surprised to see 9+1 though, I thought 10+1 was the 9mm bump up from .45 in 1911's.
(Though I am no expert on 9mm 1911's)
I was looking at an EMP 4" in a local place and I thought I remember a 10 round mag in a pretty small 1911.

You can just get a 10 rd. Mag from Wilson or CMC. "IF" the mags aren't Proprietary. to Springfield.

Hmm, textured front strap, flat trigger, checks off a lot of boxes for me. I would be interested depending on the price.

Not sure if they were from SO, by my Range Officer (bought used) came with 9 round mags, I replaced them with Tripp and Mec Gar.

Hmm.. Google says: "

MSRP
$1,349" https://www.springfield-armory.com/...sary-handguns/1911-emissary-4-25-9mm-handgun/"

I would be curious what internals are used in the gun. SA might be on to something if they are using quality internals.

I believe the BUL 1911 commander in 9mm has even better features,
and at least the same (or better) level of workmanship, at a much more attractive price.
