~I love my TRP, which is as close as I can get to the Professional Model for under a $2,000 price tag. ~IMO, if you can not afford a Professional Model, the TRP Model or the Operator Model are great values in high grade 1911 Pistols.
I own the longslide 10mm and took 2 whitetail soon as I got it. Pack it in a diamond d chest rig cut for the rmr..inside 50yrds 10mm does great on deer..155gr hornady is about the right speed vs weight projectiles
Sweet, sweet pistol, Yamil. That is one nicely-featured Springfield 1911. I can well understand why this particular one was on your bucket list. And I'm very glad for you that you got to check this one off your bucket list! A fine 1911 is truly a thing of joy. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Thanks, it was fun to finally get this pistol in my hands, it took me a couple of years, but I finally got my hands into one. Very much worth the wait!!
Your a pretty good shot. I love that feeling of getting the gun you always wanted then You shoot it and it's even more than you expected. It's hard to put it down
I carried a Pro Model as a duty pistol for years. The first time, I broke it down to clean it. My finger slipped off recoil spring plug. It came out with such force, the plug broke plastic cover for the light in my laundry room So use caution during disassembly.
i'd recommend taking it apart like a glock or other pistols. first, pull the slide rearward until the takedown notch aligns, then pull out the slide stop, let the slide go forward and hold the spring in the slide with the fingers of the hand on the slide, under the slide. this method is quicker, less wear and tear on the gun, and results in less flying things. also, it's good practice to never rotate the bushing on the bearing surface of the barrel. rather push the barrel forward in the slide so the bushing rotates behind the bearing surface and wont be tight around the barrel. these practices are used on high end, custom bullseye guns. the pro is not a bullseye gun but is a tight, hand fit gun so it applies.
You should do another video since you have tweeked the sights and show the “experts “ how well it shoots.I am glad for you that you got to shoot your bucket list!!!!
I just bought one of these. It’s an absolutely gorgeous 1911. Mine specifically came somewhat covered in finger marks and smudges. Not clean and pristine the way you’d expect a firearm of this price range to arrive. Is that normal? Also any further thoughts at this point of ownership? How would you compare the SA Customs to Wilson Combats? People seem to put the Pro down due to its MIM parts and say for what you’re paying you’d be better off with a Nighhawk or Wilson Combat. Any validity to this? Thanks!
On the fingerprints, unless you have an FFL, and Springfield sent this directly to you, most likely scenario is that the Gun Store staff opened it to verify the Serial Number and they fondled it thoroughly before selling it to you!! The first thing I would do is "BREAK IT IN", which means, shoot it!! This pistol is tight from the factory and should be shot a lot, I would say from 200-500 rounds, it breaks in and you get used to the way it shoots!! This is a Custom Made gun, it compares very nicely to all Custom made guns out there, MIM is a good technology, there is nothing wrong with it, as long as they use good MIM, which they do!!
Had one and loved it. Had to sell it for money issues. Word of warning for potential buyer: This pistol is a time capsule. It is Tactical 1911 circa 2004. As such, the trigger is heavier than current Tac 1911s, you might want to change out the MIM Slide Stop and Mag Button, and odds are you'll want to trash the Novak sights for something like Wilson Battlesights or Trijicon HDs since these sights are black except at night. The only options you have is do you want 9mm and/or a rail? As long as you don't want to change anything, it's great, but changing it to your tastes can get overly pricy.
Let’s be clear! I have NO PROBLEM with Gun Sight! I have said in the past FRONT SIGHT has a manual that teaches antiquated position and grips in their manual! Never have I said anything about Gun Sight. Gun Sight is a great training academy that has adapted with the times over the years. Also I have seen videos of people and instructors shooting at Front Sight and they are NOT doing what they print in the manual. That is a problem. Again Gun Sight not an issue with AT ALL!
Do you think you can mill a RMRcc on top of one of these? Really I want Springfield to make 2011 with a optic cut I think they would make one that would give STI a run for there money!🤯🔫🧨
Shooting too the left is NORMALLY because of your trigger pull, right? Pull the trigger, on an empty mag, and FREEZE right after you pull. Are you still on target, or did you pull a tiny bit to the left? Yes, I'm a lefty, so I pulled to the right. It was only an inch or two off of the bullseye, but it was still OFF.
I ransom rested this pistol, It shot a bit to the left, like my Wilson Vickers Elite, I adjusted the front and rear sights to perfection and the issue was over. I saw another manufacturers gun shot 7" to the left at five yards, when we ransom rested it, the issue was worse, he had to send it back!! This time the issue was the sights were a little off, but NOT by much!!
@@BigChiefTomTom53 No apologies necessary, These things happen, the pistols are tested and then shipped and not everyone holds a pistol the same way and we all have different eyes too!! Now I use Monovision Glasses due to old eyes and some dominance problems, but this pistol just needed a little nudge in the sights to meet my eyes. I have to admit that I did have a few bad habits before I took my first Gunsite class, but thanks to them, I got my issues resolved!! I owe them a whole lot, they fixed my issues
@@yrsued Jesus... I love how calm you are and just willing to help. So many guys on here are sooooo cocky, too! You're all like, YAMIL 8:32 Not every child of God will hold the boom stick the same way, because different eyes; we all have.
Not to knock what the Professional is but....really....how different is it from e.g. the TRPÉÉ :) In terms of `shootablity`. One gun as few MIM parts the other none. . One is a few hundred dollars cheaper..... Both has ben used be LEéòpertors`.....if THAT matters in one`s gu purchase...heh....Both are `hand-fit`, tight tollerancs...etc.....
You're not knocking the Pro, the main difference is that the Pro is hand built at the Custom Shop and the TRP is a production gun, both great guns, I have both!! The OLD TRP is still being made because it is Kommiefornia Compliant, it is in the stupid Roster. The new TRP is VERY NICE and I have their Lightweight Commander. I need to get the full size .45. I think the TRP should be good enough for anyone looking for a good 1911. The Pro is just a step above!!
belizeandiver The last rime I checked, they had some in stock . You can order directly from Spriongfield and or have your store call them and order for you.
@@belizeandiver The good thing is that pretty much anyone can be a Springfield Dealer!! Where are you located? I might know someone that can order you one.
My friend, it's shooting to the left because of your left index finger being wrapped around the trigger guard. As you grip tightly with your right hand when firing, your left hand sympathetically tightens, too, pulling your gun to the left.
You are wrong, the pad of my finger is perfectly positioned and NOBODY ever told Jerry Barnhardt that his finger in the trigger guard ever hurt him. Where are you a professional trainer at?? I get my training at Gunsite!!
@@yrsued i deleted my comment before i noticed you replied cause it was pretty uncalled for. i was in a grumpy mood and i replied like a jerk. but as for zins, i think he would consider it very overrated. zins is quite adamant about his own technique. gunsite is living in the past. their tactics and methods are quite outdated and their cadre are not experts, but rather more along the lines of good ol' fellas. not everything they do is a joke, but as an 'elite' training institute, they are. ed head and many of the instructors there believe they are the pinnacle of firearms training. however, what they do is nearly identical to the first level of basic instruction in the military. the reason i despise them is they teach things as their way is the only correct way. no reason for me to be rude, but i realize i was. it irks me when i hear people making up excuses for shooting left. i realize that's my own personal issue and there's no reason for it to upset me. by far the most common problem for shooters is anticipation which often causes trigger problems. your shooting is far above average and it's clear you have solid fundamentals. who am i to judge or validate any of this. this is an anonymous account commenting on youtube videos. i enjoyed your video and would like to see more. i will restrain myself from being an ass.
@@carl-ok9gn I just PM'd Brian, and he has NEVER said anything like that about Gunsite Academy!! Again, you should contact him before using his name to bad mouthing the most recognized Training School in the world and using Brians name to do it!! NOT good form dude!!
