I handled one of these over the weekend and it really fit me well, unfortunatly I can only find them in the lightweight version.
I checked SA website but no luck there either. 
I like the TRP, but the checkering is just too aggressive for my tastes, and the MC operator is green which I have no desire for whatsoever. |

Basically same exact thing you posted but steel frame. http://www.springfield-armory.com/products/1911-range-officer-45-acp/#PI9131LP I would prefer the RO, but I don't like ambi controls on a 1911, and I don't like night sights. The magwell is a nice feature on the other though. I didn't it look it up, but I would think it may be using a FLGR, which I also don't like. It seems like a few years ago I was having a hard time finding a SA Operator with a carbon steel frame. It's nice to see more options. |

The night sights however are very much preferred. |

For less than $50 you can get rid of the FLGR. That, IMHO, shouldn't even be a deciding factor.

OP, As others have stated, SA offers the Operator line in steel and Aluminum frames. The Lightweight Operator is aluminum and the RO Operator's, TRP Operator's, and Loaded line (the MC Op and LBO) are all steel.
The LBO is a damn nice pistol and the RO Operator isn't bad either. My LBO and RO Operator's.  |
