    For me i swapped out the guide rode and mainspring housing and magwell to move the ILS and lighter mainspring. Trigger breaks at a very clean and crisp 4lbs
    Thanks cc426. I was planning on sending a couple hundred rounds through her for first time before I make any changes. Here are the only changes I plan for to her.

    Dawson Precision Tool Less Guide Rod $69.99

    VZ 320 Carbon Fiber Black Slim Grip $99.00

    VZ Black Wash Grip Screws/Bushing/O-Rings $30.50

      Congrats OP! I also have a TRP Operator half rail and installed the DP tool-less guide rod with VZ grips (operator II). Threw a Surefire x300 Ultra on it and called it a day!

        Consider the WC Flatwire Kit along with the recoil plug as a solid to the too less.....mine have 10-8 parts but there are many solid ones available.

          Thanks deviljon, Mighty fine looking thing you have there. How's has the DPTLGR been functioning? I've been kinda worried it damaging my girl due to tolerances she wasn't designed for. I like the aggressive VZ Operator II grips, How are they on the hands? Does she favor a particular magazine, I see the CM Power 10? I'm thinking X400 Ultra LED..

            CONGRATS!!! Beautiful weapon! I have yet to add the half rail TRP to my collection but eventually. I just picked up the Full Rail last month but have yet to shoot it! This weekend though...

            I mainly wanted to inform you that CMC 10 Round Power Mags DO NOT fit the TRP unless they are the 2012 mags and newer. Trust me, I learned the hard way! But luckily, the market for these mags is huge.

            Let's see a range report! Enjoy her... Here's my new lady:

              The operator II grips are very aggressive, some people might want something less grippy so it just depends on preference.

              The DPTLGR makes takedown a breeze compared to the original parts.

              I purchased newer CMC 10rd mags because I had read about possible issues and they work perfectly. Unsure if the older ones would have any problems but didn't want to take any chances.

              And the x400 Ultra would be a monster in a good way!

                  Thanks Sdquattro. I see you got some hotness there too buddy. I was stuck between a rock and hard spot with choosing either half or full beauty, I optioned for the half first due to her elusiveness..

                  Thank you for the mag info and for saving me the grief! I greatly appreciate it as well as my wallet!

                  I'll try do a range report when possible but don't think I'll be leaving my store anytime soon (Gotta support my hobby right?) You enjoy yours. Bring her by if you ever want the see the sisters together.

                        No upgrades. I just enjoy shooting it. I didn't get mine with rails. Wish I had, but fun to shoot all day.

                          I picked up my TRP used and added some 10-8 grips and 10-8 mag release. It is a damn fine 1911!

                            I do love the TRP or SA pistols for that matter. Stock it's flawless but I made a few small mods and eventually had the custom shop make some as well.

                            Really the only thing I didn't like was the two piece guiderod. An easy DIY "fix" and g2g. Te rest of the changes were personal. Enjoy and I'll keep my eyes peeled for you at Jackson Arms.

                              Thanks jessegpresley. I have always been concerned of the DPTLGR damaging my lady's internals due to fitment design. I'm not planning on sending my girl back anytime soon due to error on my part. I think the scale is swaying away..

                              SA TRP Operator barrel with DPTLGR damage.

                              I'm trying to track down some CMC P10's deals. Actually, any deals for my girl will be taken. Thanks!

                                I think you should adopt her railed sister and shoot both.
