After I waited about 8 months my TRP finally arrived.

Looks good.   Looking forward to range report.    


When I get over my S&W big bore revolver addiction, I think I could get hooked on  SA's 1911 line.

That's a nice weapon! I've got the same exact grips on my Springfield "Loaded" Stainless 1911.  Bill T.

TRPs are know to be rather finicky when new.  I think you'd better send it to me for thorough examination and break in period.  Being the nice guy that I am, I'll supply the ammo.   ;D

P.S.  Congrats on one sweet piece of hardware.  Let us know what you think of that aggressive front strap checkering.

Gosh, Ich...what a guy...  I usually ask for half the cost of the ammo to inspect and break in a new firearm for someone.

You are getting quite a deal, WatchMan...grab it.

Give that baby plenty of lube, and lots of hot, steamy ball ammo for 300 rounds or so. Follow it all up with a good wet cleaning and lubrication, and you'll be a thoroughly dangerous man to face!  Bill T.

Bill, that gun looks mighty familiar....(except my grips are black).  ;)   ;D

And she'll make one-hole groups too.....if I can do my part.   :D

Springfield has got the 1911 down to a science. I have both this one and the Trophy Match, and both are excellent performers. I'm planning a lot more shooting with both of them in the future.  Bill T.
