Suppressors Springfield TRP Armory Kote

[tim68]

I'm looking at getting one of these 1911's pretty soon. For those of you that have one, how do you like it. Does it warrant the $1500-1600 price tag. Good quality, lack of feed issues, and accurate is what I'm shooting for.

Thanks.

They are great guns, however if you shop around you can find them for about $1300 to $1400

I bought a Springfield TRP Tactical a while back for $1300 new. It's by far the most accurate pistol 'out of the box' I've ever shot. I'm not the best pistol shooter on the block, but I was able to group 5" 5rd groups consistently with it. If a TRP is what you're looking into, you will not be disappointed.

I've had my TRP for sometime now. I polished the feed ramp and replaced the FLGR to the Ed Brown GI recoil plug setup. Its worked well and is very accurate. I'd love to get another one with the rail.

Shop around and get it cheaper. I don't personally feel that it's worth $1600 but I would pay up to $1300 or so. Very nice gun at the price point. You can find the stainless version for about $1K sometimes.

I've seen them go for $11-1200 on gunbroker

Shop around for sure

There's a NIB stainless TRP tactical on gunbroker right now for $1100 buy-it-now and I doubt Armory Kote is worth an additional $500. As to the gun itself, I've never had any issues with any of my SA 1911's, they all run flawlessly.

That's a good deal. You could always get it coated by someone, and still it would be less than most go for

Re: Springfield TRP Armory Kote

For the $1100 - $1300 mark, they are worth it. When you start talking $1400 - $1600, you are getting into the Les Baer market, which is a substantially better pistol at that price.

TRP's are essentially Loaded models with frontstrap checkering. They ask a premium for them, but you can find them at reasonable prices if you look hard enough.

Re: Springfield TRP Armory Kote

I bought one about five months ago for 1179 + tax from a local gunshop should be able to get a better deal than 1300 if you look around. The gun has done well at the pratical handgun matches I shot with it. The only problems I have had was with some of my reloads (which were my first 100 ever of .45 acp). The gun has run flawlessly with all store brought ammo. Havn't set down and just shoot to see how it groups, but looking at the target at the matches I do have some doubles touching each other.

I had one at one time. It was very accurate. I felt that the finish was not as durable as I had hoped though.

Re: Springfield TRP Armory Kote

whats the real difference between the TRP and the Operator?

 

[fpdsniper]

Re: Springfield TRP Armory Kote

"Operator" means it has a light rail.

Re: Springfield TRP Armory Kote

In addition, I have a TRP Operator and just got a new Lightweight Champion Operator for my plain clothes assignment. Assume 1911's and great company to deal with.

Re: Springfield TRP Armory Kote

But what is the difference between the regular Operator line pistols and then the TRP line pistols? There is like a $200-$300 difference and just wondering if its that much different between the two.
