If you’ve been around 1911’s long enough, the Springfield Armory TRP needs no introduction. It is well regarded as one of the best production-quality... Continue reading at www.thearmoryl...
I doubt the "hand-select" claim of the frame and slide. The frames and slides nowadays are built oversized and are fitted with very tight tolerances which could work against the pistol's original design. Too tight a slide to frame fit might have reliability problems due to poor lubrication and if the pistol is dirty. A somewhat generous tolerance to the slide and frame fit is better. What matters most is the barrel fit. A sloppy barrel fit won't give you the desired accuracy. But wait. We are talking here of a combat pistol, not a bullseye pistol.
It's nice but. They should have used a one piece g.i. guide rod and an aluminum frame on the 4.25 model. Let's not forget that Dan wesson tcp is a 4" lightweight with a rail and forged parts for less money.
@DemocratsPartyofSatan well, as an LEO, I've seen parts sheer off because of MIM and I will not put my life at risk bybusimg them. Dan Wesson is a good one to check out, NO MIM and close to same price👍
@TheRealZJE313 doesn't need to "sink in" when I've seen them shear off safeties in the line of duty. I won't use them when life is on line. Check out Dan Wesson, close to same price w NO MIM parts👍
@@willraven7 I hear ya, but the TRP specifically was used in military situations, and in law enforcement …what gun hasn’t had an issue in law enforcement? I’m sure multiple Glocks have jammed that didn’t mean they are over all untrustworthy
They would’ve been better of offering the prodigy in different calibers hell they gave the Echelon multi optics options and the price of the prodigy Aos plates are double the price now didn’t need a new pistol needed better options for the pistols you just came out with
It still gets the job done 112 Years later, and they are Freaking Cool!!! I have caught the sickness 30 times so far. 😂😎👍🇺🇸. I do own 12 Glocks, Sigs, HK, and 6 or 7 Beretta 92/96. My point… options are good to have, and the ability to hand out these pistols in case of a crisis/invasion etc. Is a good thing. Stay safe to all of you. Beretta Sr.
It’s 2024, no optics cut? Fail. I saw somebody from Springfield called this a working man’s 1911, at $2000? Springfield missed the boat on this big time, completely toned, deaf and clueless as to options and price for such a pistol in 2024.
The frames at Springfield are outsourced and made in viva la meheco. 🇲🇽🌯🌮. Sorry but I’d rather bathe in gasoline and light a cigarette than support that freedom hatting company. Rock island makes a great 1911 for entry level guys and if you’re gonna spend a grand or more I’d recommend Ed brown or Wilson. Pilot mountain arms for a serious do all gun.
The Tisas is not bad, but they are not a Springfield Armory 1911! Not a Springfield Operator, or even a Springfield Garrison IMO. Buy what you want! Best to ya, Beretta Sr.
