Springfield 1911 TRP or Mil-spec?

[OverLord2006]

Which do you think is the best, excluding price tags?

If you forget the $$$, TRP is better built.

Sweet What's the average retail price for it and what brand of ammo are you using if you don't mind me asking?

 

[hermann78]

Average price for a TRP should be 2150$ . This one has been custom hard chromed and is a Full rail TRP OPERATOR , this one goes for 3000$ . But u cant get those anymore because since 2005 i think , TRP operators come with half rail now . This was a special run and im still waiting for it since Mai . But i would be willing to let it go for the right price

This one is a no-brainer...TRP

 

[IM_Lugger]

they're not even in the same class (nor the price range)...that's like comparing GI model to their loaded model

 

[scotty]

It should be GI vs MilSpec or Loaded vs TRP.

I just got a Loaded and its sweet, so the TRP must be even that much more awesome.

 

[OverLord2006]

What about aprx price for the mil-spec ones? Just wonder what the quality is like also... thanx

 

[scotty]

MilSpec is $890 for stainless, TRP's start at $1,987. If you want something to fill that price gap the Loaded line goes from $1,090 to $1,400.

The Loaded Parkerized PX9109 with night sights. Sweet gun. I am going to do some changes to the gun, ambi safety, a new S&A msh magwell to replace the ILS locking mechanism, and a new GI guide rod as I don't like the two piece hex key deal. I shot 300 rounds no problem factory fmj and my reloads so shes doin well. Only issue was that the guide rod started to get loose which I am moving to a GI setup. I only shot it at 20 yards and was getting some good groups but tomorrow I am going indoors to work on 7, 10 and 15 which should say alot.

PS, the Plinker I sold, the STI I traded.
