    MC Operator vs TRP

    I already have a non rail TRP and have a MC Operator in jail. The only differences is that the TRP has front strap checkering and a full length guide rod. Anything else?

    One piece rod vs. 2 piece in the MC.
    Maybe the sights
    I have an MC and my buddy has a TRP. We go shooting all the time and shoot about the same with either.

    His had had more jams than mine over about 1,000 rounds?

      The TRP has more hand-fitting. Heres a good article on them: http://www.tactical-life.com/online/...eld-trp-45acp/

        Do either of them come with the two piece barrel?

          Bmc operator is basically a loaded with the rail.Trp is a t r p a much better weapon.

            Shoot em both most weekends and I don't see that. They're similarly tight, spring set, barreled, and I shoot the same score with either.

            So what makes the TRP a "much better weapon"?

              Loubot... Possibly your MC operator is a "Monday built" gun. I'm not speaking down about the m c operator as I know there are a lot of people that's where the back yard is the holy grail. I have shop plenty and in my experiences b m c operate or has no better fit for spanish than a standard loaded springfield pistol. I have shot both I have owned loaded, Trophy, and MC operators andy my very humble experience..
              D m c operator is nothing more than a loaded with the rail. In my experience the fit and finish off the t r p is better. Finishing different. Aerofit is better. Flight to frame is typically a bit tighter. Trigger is cleaner. On a t r p. Not long ago b m c operator what is a 900 dollar gun, back when a loaded was 799.... pacman I called springfield and they confirmed that the mc operator was in fact a loaded with a light rail and a 2 tone finish. For springfield that was the justification of price difference of 100 dollars. At that Point I purchased full rail trp operator. I have been sold it because I'm not a big fan of rails.

                  I read from another forum (1911forum) that loaded models have two-price barrels while MC operators have the one-piece storm lake barrels.

                      Having both I wouldnt say its a much better gun...They are both great guns, however more time goes into a trp. You can tell from detail stripping the difference in fit.

                            This^^^. TRP is a better gun & IIRC the barrel is also better on TRP (NM) than the MC Operator.

                              ? Loadeds are completely made in Brazil, while the MC operators have slides and frames imported, with the fitting and assembly work done in the US.
