Springfield Armory 1911 TRP Operator 45 ACP 5" 7rd CA Compliant Pistol

The TRP, short for Tactical Response Pistol, traces back to the custom 1911 Springfield built for the FBI's Hostage Rescue Team. This Operator version is the California compliant model in 45 ACP, built on a forged carbon steel frame and slide with a black Armory Kote finish and a full length accessory rail with room for a light or laser. The 5" stainless match grade bull barrel is mated to a precision bushing, and the gun weighs about 45 oz with an empty magazine, so recoil stays soft for a 45.

It is set up the way serious 1911 shooters order them. You get fully adjustable three dot tritium night sights, an extended ambidextrous thumb safety, 20 line per inch checkering on the front strap and mainspring housing, and black G10 grips. The trigger is a lightweight target style unit with a crisp single action break. A one piece full length guide rod handles recoil. It comes with two 7 round stainless steel magazines with slam pads and a range bag. For a California buyer who wants a duty grade 1911 with a rail and night sights, this is the one to look at.
