    Yes

    The full rail TRP was my first 1911 I bought...reminds me of the pistol used in the original RoboCop from the 80's (even though it was really a Beretta).

    Eats up all ammo I feed it - no issues with reliability.

    Finding a holster was a challenge, found a Desantis Speed Scabbard specifically made for the TRP. Also have a kydex one made by LAG Tactical and considering getting an IWB leather one from either TTGunleather or Milt Sparks.

    Did change out the magwell to a one-piece from Smith & Alexander and need to replace front sight since starting to go dim.

    Definitely would buy again.

      Great pistol. Some people do not like the aggressive front-strap LPI, but I dig it (pun alert)

      No reliability issues, but there are some issues with the tolerances and the guide-rod face getting battered, which will require attention at some time.

      It came with an OWB holster that works fine.

      Everyone that has shot it loved it.

      I will not sell it, unless I'm in dire straights.

        Love them. Had two, traded one but that was only because I had two.

        Never had any issues with it.

        Would absolutely buy again

          Love my full rail.

          No issues.

          No holster.

          I also have a half rail and stainless models.

            Love it.

            It eats everything I've put through it

            Not a lot of holsters for it, if any. I think I found one for it but I don't have the link anymore. https://smile.amazon.com/Comp-Tac-In...1MR348HK<br />

            Yes!

            In this market you may not find another one for a long time. Just pull the trigger and get it. [emoji16]

              Considering grabbing it.

              If you have this pistola:

              How do you like it?

              Reliability?

              Hard time finding holsters with the full rail?

              Would you buy it again?

              Buy it.

              Don't think don't ask; do not pass go; stop thinking about it - just buy it.

              The TRP Full Rail is absolutely my 2nd favorite 1911 I own - just barely behind / tied even with my Springfield Professional. Might even be tied for favorite.


              It's on my CCW permit; I carry it in a Wilderness Safepacker along with an SF X300; just sling over my shoulder & I'm out the door. Not every day, but when appropriate....otherwise my Pro is my EDC.


              Stupid accurate, boring reliable, as with all Springfield 1911's.

              Springfield makes, IMO, the finest production 1911 anywhere near the price point of these TRP's.

              I absolutely love my full rail TRP Operator, and I literally trust my life to it.


              Buy it.


              Just prep yourself & your bank account; you will almost certainly want a 2nd.



              Re: Holsters:

              Haven't looked, to be perfectly honest. BUT....let's be real; 98% of the holsters out there are OWB - you aren't seriously going to try to CCW *IWB* a pistol with a full length rail and/or light attached....come on.

              I do know there are PLENTY of OWB / Low-ride / thigh-rig / etc. holsters out there for not just the TRP Operator, but many / most other rail / full-rail / with lights mounted.

              There are SO many holster options these days, and SO many shops that will take custom orders.....no; it's not at all an issue finding holsters / carry options. If anything, it's the converse; narrowing down from the staggering array of holster & carry options!

              Are you seriously thinking of CCW'ing it or what?


              JMO; These are 2 fantastic carry options you should look into for any gun, but particularly a package as massive & heavy (that's what she said!) as a TRP Operator with a light - and I really think you should attach a light to it.

                I own one and love it. It is a different animal compared to other 1911. Yes I would buy again, and holsters are in short supply.

                      Congrats! There's a pretty good video of Colion Noir shooting one at an outdoor range.

                        Love mine. A bit heavy with the bull barrel. Eats all types of ammo. Only shot about 1K rounds, no issues.

                          My Grail 1911 would be the Springfield Professional. One with and one without the half rail.

                          If the TRP half rail was on-roster, I would get that. But no joy. So I either go with the MC Operator or the Pro Half Rail. Or, maybe just move out of Ca. Then that opens up a ton more possibilities.

                            I have a spare Safariland Holster and Drop Leg if you want it. I ended up purchasing 2 because I had issues because one wouldn't quite fit right with an aftermarket large ambi safety.
