Nice piece! I am still kicking myself for selling my 1911 last year when I wanted to get the XD .45ACP. Love the XD and I sold the 1911 to a friend with a family that only had a .22 revolver for home protection...so it went to a good cause.

Time for me to make a trip to Darin’s Gun Exchange and browse the SA section.

The TRP is one of the SA that I find quite tempting...CONGRATS on winning the auction!

Bitchin'!!

Nice win!! Congrats!

I don't know how you beat the TRP for value to performance- yours is pretty as a picture, and as a TRP owner I can say you'll be astonished at the inherent accuracy and fit of the gun in hand . Not to mention I STILL haven't had a stovepipe, FTF or FTE in 600+ rnds.
Enjoy it.
Shoot it.

Congrats. Thats a fine looking 1911!

That's an awesome looking TRP. I kind of found myself to like Springfields wood grip designs, especially on their SS models.

Yeah the wood looks good. Nice pistol, congrats.

That Hogue grip is functional, but ugly.

It was sort of an inside joke with Hannibals
I know him in real life
He knows of my "displeasure" for any type of wood on my firearms
IMHO====>It's all about the black matte look
Hence the post..............

Believe me I was the exact same way. Only the dark black/tactical look for me....now, as I get more into this hobbie, I'm starting to like a wood or Cocobolo mixture w/ certain guns....especially 1911's!

I've got 5 TRPs (well, including my Pro) so I'll let that tell you what I think of them.

Just ditch that little tool of the devil that's in there (the two-piece guide rod) and replace with some JMB goodness (standard GI rod & plug) and then it'll really be good to go!

As far as "how do you beat a TRP for value"....well, you don't.

I firmly believe that the TRP by Springfield represents the best value in a 1911 currently on the market.

Enjoy that bad boy!!!
