Looking for railed 1911 **FOUND**

[al8550]

Those trp full rails were in stock in a lot of places several weeks ago. Now it looks like the well has dried up, so I gave the OP a few more options that are presently in stock.

Yea I preferred the full rail but it seems like you're right. I didn't see them in any shops.

They are around...might take a few weeks to find one. They are not rare....People who want to sell you a used one for $1800 want you to think they are impossible to find. BS.

I guess my search continues

Thanks for the advice

I have a Nighthawk GRP Recon. I bit the bullet and bought one. It was a big step for a Glock fan boy such as myself, but it is one heck of a shooter! The Surefire X300 fits like a dream. It's pricier than a TRP, but in my opinion, it's well worth it. Either way, you won't go wrong. Good luck in your search.

What BNIB Ed Brown goes for $2k?

Cheapest listed on website is at least $2.5k

If you can find a TRP operator in stock, the dealer at minimum is going to ask $1599-$1699. Tack on tax and the Dros fee and your right at or above $1800. Dealers cost on one of those is around $1450-$1500 depending on which distributor has it, so much money is to be made. If you find it on gunbroker, most dealers are going to charge $50-$100 to receive the gun and are now required to charge sales tax.

I'm only able to order a few per year and they take a while to arrive(friends with a FFL) I've had 6 Springfield pro's on order for myself since Dec of 2009 and have only received one back in may!

So, $1800 may seem crazy, but how much time are you willing to wait? FFL's know which guns are hot ticket items, so the markup might be a little more due to supply and demand. $1800 for a used operator is absurd.

I've seen a special forces model for $2200-$2400 online.
Not too many used browns for under $2K!
I know, I've been looking!

Man, what don't you have????? Seems like you have every gun I'm searching for. Would you be willing to part with either of them TRP or Recon??

Why limit yourself to roster options? Especially if you're dropping that kind of money...

When did the half rail TRP fall of the roster? I bought mine in 2008. I sold it it though and totally regret it. Anyways, I know that Iron Sights in Oceanside has a full rail operator in stock for $1799. Saw it yesterday. Direct Action Solutions in Solana Beach had one two weeks ago.
