New Springfield TRP Options

[thatguybryan]

The FLGR on these would be fine if it was a one piece or tool less design. My TRPs factory 2 piece guide rod couldn’t make it through 50rd without starting to unscrew, and it was the first thing I changed.

I will say, instead of making this optic ready, I would have preferred to see non SA branded sights. Whatever they are currently producing doesn’t seem near as rugged as the Trijicon? Of older TRPs. My tritium rear sight had a vial come out within the first 500rd, and I replaced with a Wilson rear.

With regard to the 20LPI, I am a full time desk jockey and it doesn’t hurt my hands at all, even with the extremely grippy factory g10 as well. Edit—and I have the stainless version without any coating to tame the checkering down. With the cerakote, I think the 20LPI will be a little toned down.

+1 on the TRP checkering. Just a little too aggressive for my tastes. I’ve always dug the basic gun though.

I love all the old school-cool in the marketing: classic leather, 3-4 o’clock IWB carry; the Randall knife in the promo photos… these guys know who they are marketing to. 60 is the new 40…

I realize this is thread drift, but perhaps somewhat relevant.

I took my two new legacy TRPs to the range today and the results were pretty good. I fired about 300 rounds, a mixture of hardball and HST which is what I carry. I had one failure to feed with ball ammo, so I will check the extractor tension on that gun. Other than that they ran fine.

The sights shoot a bit low for me, but I've never been a big fan of Novak sights anyway so I will be replacing those with Heinie Ledge sights right away plus either fiber optic or gold bead fronts.

That’s a lot of MIM, I’ll be sticking with my Dan Wesson’s.

Agree. The DW Specialist sites at the inflection point of diminishing returns when it comes to value in a “operator” style 1911. Now that DW has added an optics ready 45ACP option (that will probably trickle down to other calibers), they will really pull away from SA.

A brief review from American Rifleman:

The street price for the new TRPs seems to be starting at just over $1600 on the auction sites. Some are priced higher of course.

The legacy TRPs are available for around $1500.

I fit new small parts no matter what they're made of so mim is a moot point for me.

Full length guide rod is a waste imo but an easy swap.

Aggressive checkering? That's my jam.

Bobtails? Not for me. I hope they do a normal LW commander.
