Bull barrel, half rail, Trijicon night sights, 2# trigger with no real creep. Seen some use but looks like it's in pretty good shape.
The shop also has a Smith & Wesson lightweight commander of some sort for the same price with aftermarket grips and a $295 trigger job the shop did for the owner.  |

That's the price of all the parts. If function safely, a no brainer buy.
Cheaper than tubberware. I cannot believe it. |

Holy shit I would melt my credit card getting it out that fast.
Stupid price for a decent gun, even shot to hell. Would build for my battle belt no hesitation. |

This shop is a gunsmith that's been in business for a couple decades, but they recently opened a storefront on the Main Street a couple towns over. They carry very little inventory that is almost exclusively consignment, but it's always worth checking out because if nothing else they always have something interesting to look at.
 Quote HistoryQuoted: Commander price first? Quote HistoryQuoted: Commander price first? $425 with a $295 trigger job. Looks like it's this one: https://www.smith-wesson.com/product/1911-1 It was a little cleaner than the TRP but I've never owned a commander. Looks like that one is a pretty solid deal as well. Huh, the frame says Scandium, I just assumed it was aluminum. Quoted: Is this just a brag thread? I'm assuming you already took it home!

FO on TRP Operator. Owner's missing a $1k in front of the 425.

That is an instant buy under $1k if legit.

Consider that as winning a lottery even at $699. Surprised that a gunsmith shop don't know the value of a good pistol.

I'd expect to see $1425. It was a great deal at $700. At $425, you've scored.

I’d have taken that for $699 in a heartbeat, $425 is a no brainer.

As mentioned, that's a great price. I think you would have trouble finding a decent 1911 anywhere close to that price.

The half rail TRP has been discontinued.
 Personally, I'm not not a fan of the full rail. ArmoryKote looks like its holding up well. Minor wear on edges. Range report!!!

I'd jump on that, but I'd still have some reservations on the quality of the shop's 2#, $295 trigger job. Would still buy it though.

I'd buy it, but the 2 lb trigger would have me double-check everything for safety. Did they do the trigger job on the TRP? Or some Bubba in his garage with a dremal?
I too have the full-rail TRP. Heavy as heck, but a sweet shooter. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: $25 background check? That's bullshit. Quote HistoryQuoted: $25 background check? That's bullshit. Yeah, that's the one thing about the shop I don't much like. I think the state here charges $7, so most shops charge $7. It's annoying, but all in I can't argue too much.

Personally I think it has more than a 2# trigger, but the smith tested it with a digital trigger pull scale. I wasn't able to read the display when he did it, he just said "it's about 2lbs". Maybe it was 2.9 and the scale was off a bit, but also my trigger finger doesn't have that great of resolution. It appears that the gun is completely stock.If I get a chance, I'll try and run to the range today. |

Well, I figured I should range report so went over to an indoor range quick tonight and ran 199 rounds through it. Why 199? Because I forgot about the 1911 magazine bullet launch and sent one downrange with all its parts and accessories intact.
I'm not sure where my stash of Wilson 47D's are, or if I still have them. I picked up a CMC 8-round mag today to make sure I had a good one, it came with the 10-rd CMC and the unmarked mag. Ran flawlessly, no failures whatsoever. So far I like it quite a bit, maybe more than my hk45t.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Did they use the TRP line or something from the Custom Shop like the Professional series? Unit purchase or testing? Yes COTS ( commerical of the self) purchased for DOD use/issue. They also purchased Range Officer Operators. Who they got them from I don't known. Maybe GT Distributing. Who every purchased them just bought TRPs and didn't spec the NOVAK sight model. I think they disposed of all the bull barrel adjustable sight TRPs at some point. Some ended up in law enforcement just like the M16A1. They had their mim parts replaced. Regards |
