| I saw a full length rail on a Springfield 1911, and I was curious what model it comes on. |
| There were at least a couple of production Springfields that could be had with the full length rail. Mil-Spec, and TRP for sure, and maybe a Loaded model. Now, however, the full length rail is only available from Custom Shop option as a new pistol. They are available quite regularly on gunbroker and other on-line auctions as used pistols and command a pretty good premium. |

So if I were to request a f.l. rail on a TRP from the factory, they can still do that? I looked at the custom options on the springfield custom shop form and did not find the option. Yep, I believe so. I'm not sure it would be called a "TRP" but you can order a Custom Shop complete pistol with the full rail. I think you'd better be prepared for a price around $2.5 K and a year or so wait. There's a current thread running on a 1911 forum website started by a guy who just received his full-length rail 1911 in 9 mm. Suggest a call to the SA Custom Shop to get the full story. |

That list you looked at is just for modifying existing guns you send in for work. I saw a custom shop full rail gun here: http://www.xdtalk.com/forums/m1911/126531-ultimate-springfield-operator-2.html |
