| Opinions on tbe TRP? And is it worth the money? |

Great gun but I have to question if they are worth what they are starting to get up to pricewise. Locally they run 1450 at a shop that does a 12% markup over wholesale. I got mine for 1200 bucks with tax and transfer a few years back. It was IMO the best 1200 dollar pistol you could own. Nowadays the Les Baer Custom Carry runs 1600 bucks. Proload always has them in stock and, well its a Les Baer. |

Locally, (PHX) the MSRP price on Springfield models went up almost 10%, which puts the TRPs in the $1500 range.
I have a TRP, in fact two of them, and also have a LB that was just a couple of $100 more. For the small difference, there really isn't much of a choice to be made. |

I love my TRP but for the money I spent I really wish I had just bought a slightly used Les Baer TRS. TRP Pron: http://i734.photobucket.com/albums/ww343/artsohc/DSC_0109.jpg I bought mine the same day as him I really like mine. |

I have an Operator with the full rail. I love it. It is a great shooter. My only complaint is the 20LPI checkering on the frontstrap gets a little uncomfortable after an extended range secession. I've seen the standard model for $1000 or so used here and there. I wouldn't pay more than $1300 - above that, I would start looking at Baer's or another custom outfit. |

Mine is VERY VERY accurate. The slide is fitted so well, it feels like it's on ball bearings. My GF just got a Colt XSE and it feels pretty rough next to the TRP. I was surprised. It IS a little ammo-sensitive, though and balks at JHP rounds, but will shoot ball ammo all day long. Looks like I'll have to take SA up on their warranty policy...AGAIN.  |
