New 2024 Springfield Armory TRP 1911 45 ACP : The FBI 1911

[@1AFVeteran]

Sootch00, I always enjoy your videos! This new 1911 TRP from SA is a really nice looking gun. What a joy it had to be to get to review this pistol! Thanks so much for the review!

[@mikeyID]

Amazing 1911, I’ve owned a full rail TRP operator for 15+ years. Can’t say enough good things about it 👍🏼.

[@youvandal411vm]

I started questioning Springfield Armory's quality a couple years ago. There was a guy at the gun store that just bought a brand newTRP and the frame was visibly out of spec. It was literally crooked. Springfield basically refused to help him or replace the firearm. Ever since then I've been very wary.

[@mikeyID]

@@youvandal411vm yea, that’s not good

[@youvandal411vm]

@@mikeyID I had a Loaded A1 model back in 2015. It worked fine, but didn't have a huge round count through it. Replaced it with a Wilson Combat. Even at that price point it still did 1911 shit. Stove pipes and needed extractor tuning. Very accurate pistols though.

[@mikeyID]

@@youvandal411vm I agree with everything you said 👍🏼

Thanks, scootch. I am just enamored with this new upgrade to the model. I think it's one of the best looking 1911 I have seen in a long time.

[@pray4mojo35]

Years ago I was interested in purchasing a TRP but ended up purchasing a Dan Wesson Specialist. I am very glad I went the Specialist.. not that there’s anything wrong with the TRP.

[@MrDmthomp32]

Both are fantastic pistols. For the cost of a TRP these days, I’d go with the specialist as well.

[@8867348]

If you don't like the 2 part guide rod, you can replace it with a full length guide rod from Wilson Combat and it works great. You won't have to full with breaking the guide rod down into 2 pieces. The Wilson Combat guide rod is very inexpensive as well.

[@lynch6642]

Or you could get rid of it all together and go with the original John Browning design and put slotted screws back in the grips where you can work on it in the field with your pocket knife, like it was originally designed and never failed.....😮 I have personally never seen so much crap on handguns to make it heavier and useless in my life. I remember back in the 80s we used to have 45 long slides with 4-in laser scopes.... just goes to show you what comes around goes around

[@Bill308A10]

@@lynch6642I like the original design also. However I do prefer the commander style hammer over the spur. I can’t stand the beaver tail idk why anyone likes that it’s ugly as sin and makes no sense I’ve never had a gi grip safety fail to engage and not allow me to fire. It looks like a giant fish hook on the rear of the gun and a snag point to me.

[@DB-sd3cw]

​@@lynch6642fudd

[@theia1653]

@lynch6642 Speaking of the grip screws, Springfield uses hex screws that are quite soft and easily stripped. Another way they cheap it out but sell at a premium. So if that happens, to get it out you will either have to carefully drill it out or destroy the grips. A serious service 1911 will always have slotted screws cause flathead screwdrivers or anything that can be used as one will be more common.

[@AllAboutSurvival]

The fact that it draws inspiration from the HRT's choice is a testament to its quality and suitability for serious applications.

Boy, that looks almost identical to my $600 SDS duty. Same hammer, same chf barrel, same trigger, 3 slot pic rail, mecgar mag, with g10 grips. I'm not sure I could pick it out of a pile. Super tight and smooth. Those turks sure know how to do it.

@@Skeetacus3 You sir have obviously not owned one in each of those categories.

[@markevans658]

Tisas makes a solid 1911, I enjoy the duty model myself, but no, it’s not close to the same. The operator is much better fit and finished and the performance follows. When you actually hold and fire them back to back you realize just how much better the TRP and really all the Springfields are built.

Absolutely phenomenal gun, I own mine and feel like a king when I run it. Combat ready and good to go.

[@davidpyle7333]

The TRP has always been a great firearm, but I think Springfield have missed the bus on this go-round by not offering an optics ready version. They did with the 10mm longslide TRP, why not on the new 45 ?

[@joseaguirre744]

It looks slicker without it

[@davidpyle7333]

No disagreement there ! But if you want slick classic 1911 at that price point, get a Dan Wesson Valor without pic rails and front serrations.

[@masonraley4585]

I'm betting they will coming up but testing the market now and it will sell more guns if you release them slowly vs all at once lol

[@justusbryant7366]

Because you don't put optics on 1911s. Not everything needs an optic. Learn how to shoot.

[@guygrace2570]

Not much of an redot guy on a pistol. But I understand many people like them. Bet will see this option down the road. These are great offerings but do they beat out the prior TRP models as they are is yet to be seen. The big change to be is the new commander offerings. As I said in a prior post would love to see those with a steel frame.

[@joaopedrobaggio4475]

By the way, i can see that in the last years the American citizens had lost faith in the FBI and in other government agencies, i don't blame you, is the thing in Brazil, most of us had lost our faith in our Federal Police. Being very honest, we had lost faith in all the police institutions.

[@zanelittlegray]

Things sure were different in the US in the 90s, like the assault weapons ban of 1994 that lasted 10 years if memory serves. It was after getting into firearms (just pistols initially) and subsequently learning about that ban that caused me to go out and buy an AK a few years ago. @@generallobster

I’ve had the TRP and it’s a phenomenal pistol, but it is not the same as the Professional. I sold my TRP and it made me heart sick and a friend that works at Buds gun shop was able to get a Professional for me. I can tell you there is a noticeable difference. The Pro is more accurate and the fit is amazing. The Pro has the Birdsong Black T finish. Slicker than snot on a doorknob. 😂

[@brianlykins6663]

Nice review, nicer gun. Anyway, you go at it, in my opinion, a 1911 45acp is the top of the line. Got my first 1911 back when i was about 14 years old, just turned 70 and still have a 1911. FBI dropped 45acp, just shows they've been losing their minds for a long time. Thanks for showing this beautifully done firearm. Dont know that I would go for that color. 👍👍

[@ms.annthrope415]

Tip: When reassembling, clean the guide rod just wipe it down. Use rubbing alcohol to clean and wipe down the threads of the guide rod. Use a Q-tip to wipe the inside threads. It will keep it from backing out from the vibration when shooting. Grease the front part of the guide rod to keep the rod from galling as the spring compresses and expands from shooting.

[@MarcoFromTropoja]

I was worried about that! I keep seeing negative reviews on the two piece nm guide rods. How tight do I need to twist it when I reassemble?

[@ericmcfarlin4272]

I converted mine to standard GI guide rod because it just flat works 2 piece are a marketing gimmick.

[@MarcoFromTropoja]

@@ericmcfarlin4272 Yea and a possible hinderance for your firearm if it were to come loose while shooting.

[@ms.annthrope415]

I just tightened the 2 piece guide rod snugly with a hex wrench. I used to believe in guide rods, but Les Baer doesn't use them. Nighthawk doesn't use them. Ed Brown doesn't use them. Wilson uses some full length guide rods but Bill Wilson actually said that they are unnecessary but he sells 1911s with them as people asks for them so he isn't going to turn away business. And finally, the real FBI 1911, the SA Custom Professional doesn't use them. If you really get problem wirh them backing out, Option 1: toss it out and just use a GI guide rod. Option 2: use a 1 piece full length guide rods which is just a bit shorter than a 2 piece guide rods, so you just depress the front-less spring plug to turn the bushing and disassemble.

[@michaelvstheworld3680]

I have an actual FBI Professional Operator and I will say with 100% certainty that the TRP is the better gun for the money. That said, mine just has the prestige, the nobility, and the cool factor the TRP will never have. One note, the the FBI spec uses the GI guide rod and plug vs the TRP's full length guide rod. One thing I wish SA would do is use Dawson Precision's Tool-less full length guide rod instead of the screw in version.

Take down demo was an unexpected bonus, thanks. My TRP Tactical Stainless internal markings do not match serial number. However, the markings are the same number which is good. I bought used. The shop did not allow pre-purchase take down but I bought anyways.

[@CorneliusFahey]

Years ago I owned two brand new Springfield 1911s and both of them had soft steel in the slides. The case heads were leaving a matching impression into the breach face. I got rid of both of them. I have no faith in their quality control. Maybe they’re better now, but I was burned twice. I won’t make the same mistake a 3rd time.

[@MarcoFromTropoja]

So I just picked this gun up and ill be honest......it's definitely not on the same level as my Dan Wesson Specialist. The slide to frame fit is phenomenal.....but that's about where the good ends. The full length guide rod comes loose every 20-30 shots, so I have to keep retightening it between reloads. The safety......is fitted worse than my 700 dollar Garrison, it has a ton of play and over travel. This will probably go back to Springfield sadly. I did a 200 round range session today and a lot of my shots hit high. I was able to get a few good groupings when I really focused. My Dan Wesson Specialist is able to tear out a bulls eye with ease. Not to mention, ive owned the Dan Wesson a little over a year and around 1500 rounds and everything is still solid and tight, including the safety. I would definitely buy a Dan Wesson again before I buy another one of these new TRPs....just my two cents.

[@rajrajendran4979]

Great review. I purchased the black version of the TRP 2 yrs ago. Difficult to find. Heavy and solid. Fun to shoot and simpler to field strip

[@ms.annthrope415]

The FBI uses the SA Custom Professional, a fully hand fitted and hand tuned 1911 that comes out of their true Custom Shop. When the Custom Shop fulfills their annual contract to the FBI, the Shop then sends the rest for the civilian market. The Custom Professional costs about $3,700. The TRP is not completely hand tuned and hand fitted. It is not from their Custom Shop. Some parts are hand fitted, or just touched up a bit, or certain pieces just selected for a better fit. It does not cost $3,700 either. It runs about $1,700. It is a Poors Man's Custom Professional. Sorta of like buying a Tudor wrist watch instead of a Rolex. Nothing wrong with a Tudor either.

[@garthg.6150]

[@theia1653]

For $3600 and a fully tuned, hand fitted gun, you'd think it'd come with G10s and not the wood grips. Even vintage GIs have plastic grips.

Allowing Springfield Armory to say “‘Made in the USA”. I would think the same story applies to their 1911’s. While it’s a tad misleading, I don’t have a problem with it whatsoever.

[@StevenLuken]

I'd love to see a series on junk guns such as the Jennings J-22

Nice 1911, would like to see durability testing! MSRP $1,999

10-8 performance just done a reliability test.

10-8 had a great video for that

[@stinger8634]

For the price and hand fitting it shouldn’t have a polymer trigger. Also can we get a comparison of the TRP and The Operator that came out a few years ago.

I have obtained all of the original TRPs over the last 20 years. The only one I did not manage to obtain was the long slide 10mm. Those 10mm TRPs disappeared pretty quick . I welcome the return of the TRP. However not sure a big upgrade over the 2021 and before models other than a new FDE finish and new sights. Perhaps we will get the 10mm versions again. To me I never factored the TRP collection as the so called HRT pistol since there are some models sold as those still at a significant higher price . To me the TRP was just a nicely fit production pistol with some more factory TLC. The commander TRP appears interesting but wished it was not a alloy framed offering. Hope they bring out a forged steal framed commander. No problem with a alloy frame from springfield but again the loaded and prior offerings they had were pretty cool. Seeing the Dan Wesson commander out there and a bit cheaper that could feel the niche too.

all the PAID reviewers here are pushing the trp hard...... comical part is these are run of the mill operators with color and front strap checkering . no bull barrels or even the adjustable rear sight. love the clicky title that includes the fbi 1911. ill pass on these. dan wesson for the money is by far better

[@ember357danman5]

Commander length would have been Sweet ...Still a nice gun thou...

Looks like a reliable pistol ❤❤❤

[@Uberragen21]

Looks can be deceiving. I don't own this pistol, but in general 1911's in 45 acp are notorious for being unreliable with hollow point ammunition. They have thin feed ramps and that can catch certain hollow point bullets as they feed causing a jam. The 2011 variants with 9mm are much better and hold twice the capacity. Beautiful pistol regardless!

[@4mrholsterco981]

@@Uberragen21OLD 1911s have been notorious for not feeding hollowpoints. Newer made 1911s have corrected the feed ramp angle and we have a lot better magazines. Things are different now. My Springfield loaded series .45 has been completely reliable with hollowpoints and lswc ammunition. I edc the 1911 I build, and same thing, reliable. Properly built, they will run no problem. Cheap out on a 1911 or get a Kimber, you ask for problems.

[@gymowner1232]

@@4mrholsterco981 I use Chip Mccormic 8 rounders, But occasionally a high end 1911, with tight tolerances, will have FTF and or FTE problems, as some of you know, tolerances can be stacked to cause a problem if they are not in the gun, that they were adjusted for, where as the sloppy GI guns, were sloppy enough that any part would work in any gun, Like Glocks. If I were stuck with one gun, I would take a Glock over a TRP, if I could have as many as I chose, I would have one of each.

[@georgebaloian8272]

Great pistol! I have a professional with the light rail and it’s my baby wouldn’t mind getting one of these but who knows if we can get on in CA!

[@theia1653]

In Ca you modify a Loaded or TRP.

[@20JK10]

They finally got rid of the adjustable rear sight on the TRP. I have an older TRP and replaced it with a fixed sight from Harrison Design.
