If you want a railed platform go with the Springfield Armory MC Operator. Non Railed look for a Springfield Armory Loaded with a NM ser# prefix.

Dude, I was in your shoes, I was set on an MC operator.



I ended up ordering a full custom pistol , But I was set on the MC, it's a damn good gun!

Springfield is a conservative bet.

I got my ANIB Les Baer for $900.........        

I also own multiple Springfield's. I would skip the Kimber, IMO.

+1... I have the TRP Operator... I had my eyes locked firmly on it when I was 19... I waited, and waited, and waited... turned 20 and put it in layaway... and waited, and waited, and waited... picked it up at 10 AM on my 21st Birthday, and I'll tell ya, I wouldn't trade it for anything.
