What is the difference between this TRP 1911 and the Loaded 1911? Both are ca compliant, stainless and appear to have all the same up grades. But there is almost $500 difference in price???

Question

Hi Shannon and welcome. The difference in price has more to do with number of each in stock than anything else. Buds prices are tied to stock level and similar/same items lower in stock will be priced higher than lower stock same/similar items and vice-versa. Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!

Ed C. · Answer

Hi Shannon, the number is stock has nothing to do with the price difference. The Loaded model has a MSRP of $1055, and the TRP has a MSRP of $1732, so naturally one will be significantly higher than the other. 
The Loaded has 3 dot sights, TRP has Three-dot tritium sights.  
The TRP has Aggressive 20 line-per-inch checkering on both the mainspring housing and frontstrap and forms a hand-filling continuum alongside the rugged G10 grips for a flawless shooting foundation, also comes with Cocobolo grips. The TRP has a blended magwell. 
I'm sure there are things I missed.  You can compare them yourself at these 2 links -

TRP >>> https://www.springfield-armory.com/1911-series-handguns/1911-trp-handguns/1911-trp-45-acp-handgun-stainless-ca-compliant/

Stay safe & have a great day!
