Would you have waited two years for this!!?

Yes, yes I would have. That is a beautiful pistol. Got any Wilsons to compare it to?

Yes I do.
I have a CQB

I don't mean to sound harsh when I ask, but what makes these so special? I don't want to have a safe queen and with these prices I'd be nervous about getting a mark on these. I want to shoot often and I'm looking at the TRP Operator and was wondering what makes the Professional so appealing?

You should see the finish on one of my other professionals, completely worn off... Its not due to a weak finish(the black-t is VERY durable), its just used and abused.

Aren't the roll marks (serial, "professional", etc) done after the pistol is made but before finishing though?

These guns aren't usually safe queens. It was made to be used and beat up.

I wish I could afford an SA custom shop gun.

Professional is a very precisely spec'ed gun built by the custom shop from the ground up. Fit/finish/parts are all better than a TRP Operator.

So after the two years you still had to wait 10 days? That sucks... Now what was worse, waiting the two years or the 10days where you can almost taste it?

Sweet pistol, now lets see some targets.

[Sillyguy]

so awesome. im having a hard time waiting for my nighthawk

[jgraham15]

Nope, I just don't have the patience.

Beautiful gun though! Want to sell it?????

[Voo]

I will definitely say that if you can afford a high-end 1911 like this, more power to you.. But when you mention things like "performance", exactly what is it that you're referring to?

Hell yes, Very Nice

[robert101]

For me no. To many options out there on custom crafted guns. I like it though - good choice.

[h0use]

Very nice!! Well worth the wait!

Yes and no on the FBI and civilian orders.
The FBI pro's are not marked "professional" rather "bureau model"
The Civilian professionals have a Serial number prefix that is "CRG" whereas the FBI is different.

They called me the day it was ready to ship and told me they were charging me. Springfield sets the example in customers relations, polite, prompt and backs the hell out of their products no questions asked!

The early FBI Pro's had an fbi prefix; now all of them have crg prefix. The people at SCS don't know who the end user will be, civillian or fbi.

Welcome to the club; I was fortunate not to have to wait for mine, finding a new one in stock a couple years ago in Sacramento with the help of the Calguns community

I have 15 1911's including several full customs; my Pro shoots as well as any and is dead reliable, zero malfunctions ever.
