An extremely awesome weapon. Shoots great, smooth out of the box action. One of the, if not the best stock 45's I have found.

I love this 1911! Shoots great and the trigger is nice and crisp. It's the new favorite of my wife and son as well. They love shooting this over some of my other polymer, smaller caliber pistols. Buds was great to deal with as always.

This is the best full size 1911 that I own, and I have many. The only gun that comes close is my Metroarms 1911 bobcut.

Hands down best handgun I've owned. Makes me look like I'm a pro at the range. Trigger is awesome and never had a malfunction

I've had my TRP for close to a year now and have really enjoyed shooting it. With close to 2k rounds through the gun, it's just as tight as it was the day I received it and the slide operates like it's on bearings. The gun shoots great, has a great trigger, great sights, and with the added weight of the rail controls recoil wonderfully. I suggest looking into a tool less guide rod as it made disassembly much quicker and easier. They aren't cheap but the eliminating time and frustration with losing a disassembly tool is a Godsend. Two minor complaints should be noted. This is an expensive gun, Springfield should have included a guide rod locking tool. You are forced to buy one or make one out of a nail or paperclip which is ridiculous. Second, the checking on the front of the grip is significant. You aren't going to lose control of this gun in your hand. I consider this good, but it does wear on your shooting hand during extended shooting sessions.

Awesome gun! This is my first time dealing with Buds and buying a 1911 and I am super impressed with both! The TRP is a nail driver, and Buds shipped my handgun super fast. The only draw back to the gun are the grips (a little too textured), but not a problem at all. I highly recommend the Springfield TRP, and Buds,

I've had this gun now for over 6 months and all I have to say is I love it. Nights sights are awesome. Rail is a plus. Trigger is super crisp and clean. Bull barrel is beast! Probably the best production 1911 you can get in my own opinion.

This is a great piece of steel. Great finish on the coating, tight fit and finish with its components. It is a sexy looking pistol. Guns point of impact was low out of the box but was easily adjusted on the Trijicon night sights. This Springer can shoot also. Free standing I shot a 5 round 1.5" group from 30 feet. This was my first time shooting the gun too, and with wal-mart WWB ammo no less. I have over 300 rounds through it now with out a single hiccup. Do not neglect the Springfield coupon in the back of the case, nothing like half off mags (and you'll want base pads on them because of the beveled mag well).

I'M SORRY, THEY DO NOT COME ANY BETTER THAN THIS IN MY BOOK. I HAD TWO COLTS AND TWO KIMBERS, THE WARRIOR WAS A GOOD ONE BUT THE REST WERE PAPERWEIGHTS. STREWN WITH PROBLEMS FROM THE TIME I RECEIVED THEM. THEN I RECEIVED THIS 45. I KEPT WINCING AS I SHOT IT WAITING FOR THE FAILURE TO EJECT, JAM, STOVEPIPE , MISFEED ECT ECT..... NEVER HAPPENED. I'M ABOUT 1200 ROUNDS INTO THIS ONE AND NOT ONLY IS IT PROBLEM FREE BUT ITS ACCURATE AND FEELS GOOD IN YOUR HAND AS WELL. IF YOU CAN FIND ONE, BUY IT, DON'T HESITATE, JUST BUY IT. DALE A.

First off let me say great job to Buds! I placed my order on a Sunday afternoon and the gun was at my FFL on Wednesday! Now onto the sweet awesomeness that is this gun! This is hands down my absolute favorite gun I currently own. Granted, this was my first 1911 to go in my collection, I really can't see how a 1911 can get any better then this. The trigger has a super crisp break and is just the right weight in my opinion. The fit and finish is superb, I couldn't find a single flaw in the finish. The slide to frame fitment is very tight and if you shake it back and forth you don't hear anything rattling around. Furthermore, this gun is a tack driver. I am far from being good shooter but I can tell my groupings compared to other pistols I have was tighter immediately. The night sights are of a very high quality and I really like the fine adjustments you can do. If I had to come up with anything that I wasn't super thrilled about it would have to be the magazines and the reassembly. The magazines that come with the gun are pretty decent, but I think there are a lot better ones out there that can be purchased. However, kudos for Springfield sending two mags. Also, trying to get the slide stop reinserted past the plunger is a real pain due to the high tension on the spring. I called Springfield and they were extremely helpful and knowledgeable with giving suggestions about how to fix the problem. In the end they said it would loosen up after several cycles of shooting and cleaning. Furthermore, they even said if it doesn't to call them back and they would be more then happy to have it shipped back for them to take a look at it. Overall, I have never been more happy with a firearm purchase then I am with this one. The price may seem high but you get a lot for what you pay for. If I had to do it over again I would buy the exact same gun again.

I ordered the gun on Tuesday, received an e-mail indicating it would arrive in 4 days. The gun arrived the next day. You can' buy a better hand gun.
