Springfield Emissary 5" 1911 45ACP

UNO · May 12, 2024

This is a RAD 1911 chambered in 45ACP that I modified to shoot 45 super. If you don't know what 45 super is, it's a thicker case head than 45acp and uses a heavier powder charge, bringing your muzzle energy to around 650-850 Ft/Lbs. All while still being able to shoot 45acp because they are dimensionally identical. Some of these loads can put 10mm to shame. Very fun caliber.
Gun has less than 500 rounds on it and runs super smooth. Nice and clean. Unfortunately I need cash for car stuff so I'm gonna pass this sweet kit on.

We have a Springfield emissary 45acp with a 5" bull barrel.
Changed to a 26lb recoil spring and a 25lb hammer spring to accommodate the heavy 45 super loads. Also cycles any 45acp load as it should.
White rear sight with tritium yellow dot front.
Really nice grips and very comfortable serrations and ergos. A dream to shoot.
4 8rd mags
2 wilson combat 10rd mags with extra power springs (best for the 45 super)

All together this cost me close to $1450
Looking to get $695 for the gun and all 5 mags NO TRADES PLEASE No Washington sales. Tigard Pawn for more is my ideal FFL but I'm flexible as long as its in Portland.

Reasoning for no WA?

I've had issues with FFLs not wanting to take oregon transfers before, then the wait period etc. If you have a reputable FFL that will take the transfer and as long as I get paid at the time we meet then I'm cool with it. It's just been a pain in the past.
