Sootch00, I always enjoy your videos! This new 1911 TRP from SA is a really nice looking gun. What a joy it had to be to get to review this pistol! Thanks so much for the review!

2G’s without an optics cut in 2024 is a tough sale. I heard one of the sales reps from Springfield called us a “working man’s 1911”, at $2000. That’s ridiculous.

The fact that it draws inspiration from the HRT's choice is a testament to its quality and suitability for serious applications.

I started questioning Springfield Armory's quality a couple years ago. There was a guy at the gun store that just bought a brand newTRP and the frame was visibly out of spec. It was literally crooked. Springfield basically refused to help him or replace the firearm. Ever since then I've been very wary.

The FBI uses the SA Custom Professional, a fully hand fitted and hand tuned 1911 that comes out of their true Custom Shop. When the Custom Shop fulfills their annual contract to the FBI, the Shop then sends the rest for the civilian market. The Custom Professional costs about $3,700. The TRP is not completely hand tuned and hand fitted. It is not from their Custom Shop. Some parts are hand fitted, or just touched up a bit, or certain pieces just selected for a better fit. It does not cost $3,700 either. It runs about $1,700. It is a Poors Man's Custom Professional. Sorta of like buying a Tudor wrist watch instead of a Rolex. Nothing wrong with a Tudor either.

FBI dropped 45acp, just shows they've been losing their minds for a long time. Thanks for showing this beautifully done firearm. Dont know that I would go for that color. 👍👍

I've had it both ways, I see alot of outstanding officers out there. I feel for them, there getting from both like we are.

Looks really well fit. No gap in the beavertail to frame fit.

I really like the serrations on the top of the slide. That looks great.

If you don't like the 2 part guide rod, you can replace it with a full length guide rod from Wilson Combat and it works great. You won't have to full with breaking the guide rod down into 2 pieces. The Wilson Combat guide rod is very inexpensive as well.

I bought a Springfield 1911 2 years ago. It jammed every other round even using different magazines. The magazine that came with it even malfunctioned where the spring got stuck feeding. I sent it back and they corrected it thankfully. Haven't had an issue since.

If you get a chance for a contour carry review that would be a great compliment to this. Great review.

Nice!

That literally shoots like a 9mm... Springfield is at it again!

Oh yeah, I saw them carrying those at a school board meeting!

Years ago I owned two brand new Springfield 1911s and both of them had soft steel in the slides. The case heads were leaving a matching impression into the breach face. I got rid of both of them. I have no faith in their quality control. Maybe they’re better now, but I was burned twice. I won’t make the same mistake a 3rd time.

I like watching this while sleeping

I have owned a TRP since they came out. I have fired many pistols in my life and have never fired a more accurate pistol. My favorite pistol ever!

I bet any amount of money sootch pulled a futuresight and one day the hostage rescue team will in fact be called HOSCUE officially.

❤ beautiful 👍👌

I'd love to see a series on junk guns such as the Jennings J-22

Those front and rear serrations are beastly. Sold mine because my hands bled every time I shot it. Slide felt like it was on roller bearings - amazing smooth. Just wish I had more manly hands to handle the aggressive grip. 😂

I’ve had the TRP and it’s a phenomenal pistol, but it is not the same as the Professional. I sold my TRP and it made me heart sick and a friend that works at Buds gun shop was able to get a Professional for me. I can tell you there is a noticeable difference. The Pro is more accurate and the fit is amazing. The Pro has the Birdsong Black T finish. Slicker than snot on a doorknob. 😂

1911's are like old muscle cars. cool AF.

Great pistol! I have a professional with the light rail and it’s my baby wouldn’t mind getting one of these but who knows if we can get on in CA!

Oooh, another embargo must’ve been lifted today, I’m swimming in TRP vids lol😂

Looks can be deceiving. I don't own this pistol, but in general 1911's in 45 acp are notorious for being unreliable with hollow point ammunition. They have thin feed ramps and that can catch certain hollow point bullets as they feed causing a jam. The 2011 variants with 9mm are much better and hold twice the capacity. Beautiful pistol regardless!

@@Uberragen21OLD 1911s have been notorious for not feeding hollowpoints. Newer made 1911s have corrected the feed ramp angle and we have a lot better magazines. Things are different now. My Springfield loaded series .45 has been completely reliable with hollowpoints and lswc ammunition. I edc the 1911 I build, and same thing, reliable. Properly built, they will run no problem. Cheap out on a 1911 or get a Kimber, you ask for problems.

Springfield certainly has a stable of guntubers at their beck and call. Iv'e watched you since the early days, this is below you.

Optics ready and High Capacity from the Prodigy would be great upgrades to the TRP

I'm glad they offer front checkering and rail on the new TRP, however I wish offer adjustable rear sights like their Operator model, but I understand they are trying to save some money for the consumer.

You have I nice singing voice. 🎶👏

I would jump on the shorter carry model. The shorter carry gun being an TRP is a great idea. But…I won’t buy one because it has an aluminum frame! I just don’t know why there are not more choices when it comes to shorter 1911 guns with steel frames.

Nice I have the prodigy,emissary,and the Ronin

I have a TRP five years or so now,maybe the updated it a little ? I swapped to a gi guidrod

Looks like a near-perfect melding of classic and modern gun design. 1911s are so distinct from all other pistols.

Do they pin the ejector now or is it still glued on?

When can you review the Taurus gx4 carry?

They finally got rid of the adjustable rear sight on the TRP. I have an older TRP and replaced it with a fixed sight from Harrison Design.

Sweet

Springfield Armory has the Leviathan Group busy, I see.

Is that full length guide rod going to come loose when shooting?? It’s just screwed in. What’s the point of a full length guide rod where the standard gi does just fine?

Tip: When reassembling, clean the guide rod just wipe it down. Use rubbing alcohol to clean and wipe down the threads of the guide rod. Use a Q-tip to wipe the inside threads. It will keep it from backing out from the vibration when shooting. Grease the front part of the guide rod to keep the rod from galling as the spring compresses and expands from shooting.

I just tightened the 2 piece guide rod snugly with a hex wrench. I used to believe in guide rods, but Les Baer doesn't use them. Nighthawk doesn't use them. Ed Brown doesn't use them. Wilson uses some full length guide rods but Bill Wilson actually said that they are unnecessary but he sells 1911s with them as people asks for them so he isn't going to turn away business. And finally, the real FBI 1911, the SA Custom Professional doesn't use them. If you really get problem wirh them backing out, Option 1: toss it out and just use a GI guide rod. Option 2: use a 1 piece full length guide rods which is just a bit shorter than a 2 piece guide rods, so you just depress the front-less spring plug to turn the bushing and disassemble.

I carried the 1911 in SF 1976-80

What do you think about Cabot Guns commander with full cycle slide feature? Why doesn't Springfield put that feature into new commanders.

I find it interesting that the trigger is around 3lb since many custom shops wont set a trigger below 3.5 without signing a waver. These TRPs must have had additional work before being sent to reviewers.

honestly I wish I had the slide with the non adjustable sights on mine, but the rest means very little to me. So long as it works well Im happy

I.Love.it

I have obtained all of the original TRPs over the last 20 years. The only one I did not manage to obtain was the long slide 10mm. Those 10mm TRPs disappeared pretty quick . I welcome the return of the TRP. However not sure a big upgrade over the 2021 and before models other than a new FDE finish and new sights. Perhaps we will get the 10mm versions again. To me I never factored the TRP collection as the so called HRT pistol since there are some models sold as those still at a significant higher price . To me the TRP was just a nicely fit production pistol with some more factory TLC. The commander TRP appears interesting but wished it was not a alloy framed offering. Hope they bring out a forged steal framed commander. No problem with a alloy frame from springfield but again the loaded and prior offerings they had were pretty cool. Seeing the Dan Wesson commander out there and a bit cheaper that could feel the niche too.
