Springer vs Springer II

[deo62]

Decided against the Springfield LW Operator-Now the decision is between the Operator loaded and the TRP with partial rail. Is the TRP really worth the extra? Have never fired a TRP, not sure about the bull barrel. Looking at the Combat Operator also. Like the clean aspect and tool steel.

I personally did not get the TRP due to its overly aggressive 20LPI front strap checkering, that being said after all the work I have had done to the pistol its basically a TRP on steroids. I like the new Operator better than the railed TRP because the new MC Operator has the front strap checkered and it has a bushing barrel as opposed to the Bull Barrel of the TRP (I prefer bushing barrels personally). The only thing the MC is missing currently is a single sided safety and a mag-well IMHO great guns probably my favorite Springfield offering.

I don't know how anyone could be anti-1911 when they come as beautiful as this one. For some reason, that one just seems to capture a pefect blend pure purpose and form.

Have owned them all at one time.
The TRP is a serious out of the box piece fr the price point.
Have one in the safe.
Have a loaded sitting next to it. Neither are operators but the one on the night stand is.
Not a fan of the LW operator for some reason. Not even sure why.

I have not gotten on board with it yet. I have a champion in the safe that color on the frame. Not blowing my skirt up but I get it.

Decision has been made and the TRP w/partial rail won out. Now the wait...

Finally got to go out and shoot this. WOW! The accuracy is amazing for out of the box. Thanks for all the posts that helped steer me this direction.
