- Get your hands on a TRP and put it through the paces yourself. You won’t be disappointed. At an MSRP of $1,648, it’s a hell of a lot cheaper than that classic auto you’ve been looking at and it might even be more fun to drive.
This is the gun that started my love affair with the 1911. My TRP Stainless has been serving me well for 6 or 7 years. Now I own and carry 4 1911’s.
The type of guy that'll carry a 1911 in 3011 lol.💯🤣
@gabrielshearer I mean it is a beautiful gun
Got my new stainless TRP in 2012. The trigger, combat night sights, 20 lines of checkering, quality, bang for the buck, accuracy .... outstanding. Works for me.
Bought this same exact model a year ago, ran about 1000 rounds thru it, love this gun, I run mine well oiled. I changed out the full length guide rod with a Wilson recoil spring and gi recoil guide rod. Much easier for maintaining. Wilson 8 round 47d magazines run perfect.
Are there any performance differences between the full length and GI guide rod? And what about the reliability?
You got great taste.
Have owned many 1911's. My TRP is, by far, the most accurate & reliable of them all. It puts the Colt Gold Cup models that I have owned to shame. 1&1/2" groups, POA, at 25 yards, all day long!
I had this gun and traded it. It's one of the biggest regrets I have, regarding guns. To get cool, expensive, new guns, sometimes you have to part with something good. My plan was to buy back my stainless TRP Loaded, once I replenished my funds; but someone beat me to the punch. Mine was from the first year the model was released. The Springfield Custom shop was heavily involved with the early TRP's; and that gun held it's own in bench rest contests with my shooting buddies, who owned 1911's from the Mount Rushmore brands: Wilson Combat, Les Baer, Nighthawk Custom and Ed Brown. With it's 10-8 Performance, polished recoil spring plug and a stunning set of Elk antler stocks from Grashorn Grips, it looked as great as it performed.
Miss the old rollmarks. Some people found it obnoxious, but I think the old Springfield Armory Rollmarks were much more proportional
I agree.. Don't know where that whole "make the rollmarks as tiny as possible" fad came from but probably came from 1911 weirdos.. Looks silly! Glad to see Colt still makes real man guns with real 1911 roll mark sizes.
Personally, I like the minimized roll marks.
Just had this gun passed down to me from my dad and our love for 1911’s it’s a true honor and golden age of a weapon I love it and will forever hold on to it for my son or daughter in the future
Absolutely love my 1911’s I’m in the market for a TRP right now. Great video.
This is my #1 choice in a handgun
I have the black model, the aggressive front/rear straps are for if you were wounded in battle with blood dripping down your hands, that would allow you to have a better grip on your gun and prevent the gun from slipping off your hands.
Lol really?
@@firefly9838 Yep, read it from the Springfield Armory literature some years ago.
I own most of the 1911's Springfield makes including 2 TRP's but I don't have an all stainless one... Good looking pistol and great video as always keepem coming!!!
Bought a TRP in standard around 4 years ago. Black armorykote. The TRP is on both sides of the slide in the back of pistol. I assume the one in the video might be a newer model. Also on slide (mag release) side forward says M1911-A1 Tactical underneath on frame. Didn't really care for the 2 piece full length guide rod so went GI with flat wire recoil spring. 10-8 plug. Never regret the mods. Chewing up any ammo I run from hard ball to lighter critical defense. Springfield makes fine 1911s but this one is outstanding.
I love mine, but the front checkering was TOO aggressive for my tastes, it left my fingers sore and a bit shredded after shooting. I just knocked the tips off with a fine mill file and now it's perfect. Love my TRP
Love my TRP and glad I grabbed it when I did. Will we ever see these again? Seems like they've been non-existent for the past year, and I've definitely been looking.
Not that rare. I got mine last month and they had another one on the display. Paid $1800 though
Beautiful pistol. Thank you for sharing!
Great video Sir! 👌🏻
Great Review
Good commentary.
A cool fact is that in the 90s a company here in Brazil called Imbel produced the 1911 models for Springfield Armory, and therefore, for the FBI. Imbel is famous for making cold hammer forged barrels and this company has nothing to do with Taurus. I have a Imbel M911A1 im 45ACP that is virtually the same as the 1911 Mil-Spec model
Great video.
Has anyone had trouble with hollow point ammo misfeeding in this pistol? The only JHP ammo I've found to be reliable is Federal HST. Winchester Ranger T-Series rounds stovepipe about 2 times per box in my experience. Of course FMJ hardball works all day. Otherwise, this is a really fine pistol.
I love this pistol. It is awesome!
The problem with this gun is the fragility of that satin finish. I've never known a weapon that marred or scratched more easily.
You don't know what your talking about.
I love my TRP
Did your TRP have a fully ramped and supported chamber?
Good video .. except for the background music
Not a fan of the new slide markings Springfield is using, other than that they seem to be better than ever
You’re right on with the TP.I have a stainless TRP,andnImlovebit.It is my first .1911.before,I got it,my favorite gun was my4” S&

Everyone,not many of course,gives it back with a”That is a beautiful gun
I shoot. It beetYes they are that goodbetter with that thanalmost anything else,I’ve shot. Thank you for letting me shoot it
Dam I can't find one.in the other color
16 and a half is pretty expensive to me for 1911. You can get anothewr good one for 1/2 of that. Sounded like a S/A infomercial.
Eh.. The TRP is a little too expensive for what you get. For the same price I would rather get the Dan Wesson which in my opinion is a better fit and finished gun. Plus the Dan Wessons dont have those ugly scribbled digits inside the frame and slide like the Springfield does. Instead they have the serial numbers printed properly inside the guns. Like I said way better gun for the same price or get the Loaded which is the same gun minus some silly features for $800 less.
Springfield armory 1911 guns are fully forged, slide and frame, Ifound out Dan wesson frames are forged but there frames are cast and I rather have a fully forged 1911!
Sorry slide is forged frame is cast
@@thomasviacava4291 Sorry bud that aint true everything on DW guns are all forged including the parts which no other production manufacture does anymore.
Couldn't make it two minutes into the five minute video. Click track is fingernails on chalkboard.
This was the most sterile READING of a script.. ever. You missed the whole point..
Wtf 😂, you want some Shakespearean interpretation of tech specs and history footnotes. You’re damaged.
