DNP Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 I just got a call from a good friend asking if I had one or had shot one. He has a line on a pretty good deal, but he needs some convincing. I've held one at the store, and considered it as an option when I was shopping 6 months ago, but have never shot it. Seems a bit heavy on the front, but maybe that's a good thing. Anyone here have one, or have and good info for a thumbs up or thumbs down on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooterrex Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 I had the trp operator with the full length rail. Nice gun. Softest shooting 1911 I ever shot. Shot USPSA and idpa with it for a couple years. Great gun wish I hadn't sold it but at the time I needed to pay some bills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNP Posted March 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 Thanks. That's the kind of first hand dealings he is looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 I have the TRP Operator with the full rail. Mine was the version with the crappy sandpaper grips. The previous owner tossed those and put on Hogue grips with lame finger grooves. I threw that crap in the garbage and put on VZ Operator II grips. This gun is the best shooting 1911 I’ve ever shot. For being an off the shelf pistol, I’m shocked by its relatively low price tag. My only gripe is the adjustable rear sight. When I get the time and $$$ set aside, I’ll have the slide cut for a Trijicon RMR adapter. Only pic I can find... This is the mount that I want to install. It comes with the rear sight (and I can mill off the entire Bomar sight that is already there.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgecrusher Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 I have one, Elite Operator Range Officer, extremely accurate and very well put together. My only change was to add an Ed Brown magwell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sketch Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 I have a range oficer 1911 and its heavy but shoots nice and consistent. Springfield can make a decent 1911? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
