Springfield Operator TRP

[parabelum]

Picking it up tomorrow, slightly used but looks to be in great shape.

I was looking for something in the 1911 range that wouldn't brake the bank, be reliable (sorry, I'm a Glock guy), and not too fancy to occasionally carry (my Gold Cup is way to pretty).

Anyone has and carries one? Your thoughts?

I'll post some pics tomorrow.

I carry a MC Operator and a Champion. Love them both. Springfield makes a fine weapon.

I have a Springfield Champion that their custom shop did a little bit of work on, and I love it. I'm considering one of the new 4" EMP carry models in 9mm.

Yeah, it's just a plain ol' TRP. We define "fancy" differently but I must say- you picked a fine example!!

Finally got it home, and took some pictures. Only thing I've added is TLR1 light.





Next stop, range...as soon as it dries up a little.

A TRP with a TLR that's too many initials for me to digest all at once!!

Seriously, congrats that's a good looking gun.

I love my TRP so much that sadly it's become a safe queen. While my 10mm Sig P220R SAO is pretty with its Kryptek camo, there's just a refined elegance about the TRP.

I just got email from Springfield about the new 1911 TRP Operator in Tactical Gray. Looks nice.

I decided that for once in my life, I will carry, on occasion, something other than my trusty Glock

I'm looking forward to getting this one onto my hip. I'm prepared to suffer the emotional distress of watching the nice finish rub off, life's too short .

Those are nice 1911's. Have a good friend who had one in the green color and it was a sweet gun. If your glock gets lonely It's more than welcome to get some range time with me :)

A pistol with a worn finish is like the laugh-lines and crow's feet on the face of a beautiful woman.

That's a great analogy!

Funny thing - just the other day I was actually thinking that the finish on my STI is holding up so well that it doesn't look like it gets carried much!
