Sweet! I'm really diggin' those grips too! Likin' some 1911 and the TRP trips the scale... enjoy that.

Very nice! I'm thinking about picking one up this Spring when I get my bonus. Have you taken it to the range yet?

 

[VERT]

I don't know the OP but I think I might hate him. OK, maybe not hate but jealous. I see he lives in my town so at least it is good to know WalMart is safe.

Oh you hate him. I am sure of it......

Thats a nice one. You'll have fun at the range with it.

TRP is on my short list soon as I can justify it to the Mrs. Might be a while since I am building her a new family room. Plus she is talking Disney World next year. So yeah a little jealousy here.

Nice Gun. Well done.

OP - Sweet shooter ya got, there... I've owned two over the years and both were solid performers. Knowing VERT, I can testify that he's just a gun whore and is a little envious of anyone that has a pretty 1911 model that he's never had in his safe. (FULL DISCLOSURE: If I hadn't already been an owner, I would be too.)

Nice gun! It's just like I like my coffee, HOT&BLACK!

Guilty as charged!

Congrats!
The TRP is nice and very well made, but the thing I didn't care for was the front strap texture and the grips.
Much too aggressive. First thing I thought to myself when I picked it up was "I will need gloves to shoot more than 50 rounds out of this".
Felt like I was holding on to a bundle of steak knives.

Why did Springfield do such a rough texture on the TRP but none of it's other models??

Because it is deemed a fighting gun and being able to grab onto it in the mud, rain, blood, sweat, cold, heat is a good thing.
