[SATRP]

That is a gorgeous handgun.

 

[Grifter]

If only it held at least 12 rounds or so.

 

[Nobuddy?]

I hope there will be an ambi-safety option on the commander 9

After shooting it, a lot, I really like it!! Not only a great shooter, but it is so sexy!!! I love two tone 1911'a, they just look so nice!!

Indeed!! Such a GREAT Shooter!!

I love the two tone. Put out a model with a rail and front strap checkering and I will have a range report.

EH-2 tones are so yesterday-I guess that's why I have a couple

They already do, The TRP Operator

That’s no different than comparing this to the RO.... I know about the railed TRP along with the price tag. There are so many models, the Long Beach Operator, TRP with rail/full rail, RO w/rail now the Ronin. Add FSC and a rail and people will buy them.

 

[HansGruber]

If they come out with the LW 9mm ACTUAL Commander-length—4.25” w/bushing, not a stupid coned 4”—I will likely buy one.

Article says it’s in the works, we’ll see.

FSC?? I'm bad with acronyms, too many of them

I saw it at SHOT, so, there!! It will be, I handled it, touched it, racked it, didn't shoot it, they might get pissed if a fired a round in the Conference center...

Front Strap Checkering.

 

[yrsued]

Front Strap Checkering.

Thanks, that is something I like it not having, I already have a TRP with it, now I can send it to Novak and have it Matte Texture on it. Gives me more options

 

[CheffyThing]

Meh, my TRP is the absolute best 1911 Springfield has ever made. All black, combat night sights, front strap checkering, mag well, and g10 grips.

I have one, I agree, superb pistol, this one is a great choice for guys like me that like to tinker!!

Never played with one of their Professionals, have you...

I’ll put a Pro up against anything comparable coming out of Wilson, Nighthawk, Baer, etc...

 

[KillerFord1977]

Extremely pleased with my Springfield base model I added grips to. One of my favorite pistols.
The Ronin is to nice a gun for me to drag thru the dust and mud for hogs

had a chance to test out a HRT custom at the range, it was surreal but I couldn't see myself spending $2000 more than my TRP which I feel shoots better by itself better than I'll ever be able to in my lifetime
