Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main difference between the Springfield Armory Emissary and the Emissary AOS?

The primary difference is the addition of the Agency Optic System (AOS) on the Emissary AOS. This system provides a dedicated, secure optic cut on the slide, designed with a hinge mechanism for flush and stable mounting of red dot sights.

How does the AOS optic mounting system work?

The AOS system uses a hinge-like design. An optic plate is first hinged into the slide cut, then secured with screws. This method is intended to provide greater stability and a more integrated fit for various red dot optics.

The Springfield Armory Emissary AOS is available in both 9mm and .45 ACP. The reviewer notes that the 9mm version generally offers softer recoil than the .45 ACP variant.

What are the key features of the Springfield Armory Emissary AOS slide and frame?

The slide features pronounced serrations, a tritium front sight, and a blacked-out rear sight. The frame includes a 1913 accessory rail, G10 'grenade' grips, and a manual safety on the left side.
