The Springfield Armory 2024 TRP.

- The new 2024 TRP. is going to reignite the love for the single stack 45. And open up opportunities for those who don't own a single stack 1911, to cross over to the dark side. With new barrel lengths, along with colors and new badging, the new 2024 version of the TRP is a great direction for Springfield.
All the comments saying this pistol won't sell well are kind of funny to me because the OG TRP, which is also still in production, has sold incredibly well since the 90's and if it didn't Springfield would have scrapped it a long time ago. It's a great pistol, and there is still a massive market for classicly styled 1911s.
Although the red dot cut guns are obviously the way of the future but the 1911 and other classic designs I will give a pass to, but they should and probably will come out with a red dot option.
What I did notice and haven't seen a lot of talk about is that SIG recently refreshed their 1911 lineup with the X-Full and they have a commander on the way, but those guns have a native RMSC cut which I think is pretty cool. Was never interested in a SIG 1911 before, but I think the RMSC cut is the perfect fit for the 1911.
My first 1911 was a blued Colt Government Model in .45 that I later sent to Heirloom Precision to have Jason Burton work his magic on. My second was a Springfield Loaded MC Operator with the OD green frame and pachmayr grips the only thing I've ever done to it was add an X300 and later changed the sites to Trijicon HDs and it runs like a top. I'd really like a 9mm Commander and a 10mm fullsize to round out the 1911 selection.
Been a TRP fan a long time, but have to admit, they’re priced too high when DW is right there and just better fit on average. Springfield won’t have a problem selling them though, definitely popular, but I’d wait till they drop down in the $1300 range on sale for my budget preference 😅
I agree. Way over priced for 8 MIM parts and a plastic trigger.
No red dot. Cerakote instead of dlc and a price increase. No thakks I'll go Dan Wesson at this price point
Yep. Agreed
But the dan Wesson is still a CZ. For me anything CZ is hard pass. Just not a fan. I Would bet we see an optics cut gun later this year.
@@rdrgear Any reason in particular you feel that way about CZ?
It’s interesting the packages they sent out to “content creators” are better then the people that actually have to pay and keep the company funded. It’s almost as if they are wanting to buy certain opinions or sway what is said
It’s called marketing. No opinions bought. People who watch this and know the Rdrgear brand. Know what they are getting. You too, can start a Yt channel invest 10’s of thousands of dollars annually to make free content. Build relationships. And eventually, some troll with a fake YT account will jump on one of your videos. Simply to talk shit and question your integrity, simply because a promotion marketing pistol was sent for a review.
$1899 and it still has MIM and cast parts in it. Really? Meanwhile Dan Wessons to freaking Tisas don't. C'mon Springfield.
Tisas has mim and low expectations
@@HWG-wm8ld check their double stack one the released. No mim parts
@@HWG-wm8ld they don't use mim
Tisas is shit!
Great video Jeff
Looks awesome
I really like the Emissary but since I'm in CA I'll have to "settle" for the TRP. Ain't gonna lie, that Regular Guy black, on black, on black look is really damn cool.
I do have a 2 yr old model trp 45 Acp. Love it. It’s badass for sure. I’ve got many 1911’s and I to am a 1911 buyer. Waiting on the new version of emissary with the rail 4.25”. I’ve got last yrs model with out rail in 4.25” and of course now they offer it with rail. The trp is in a class of its own because of the fit and finish. I also do like the bigger markings in mine vs yours. I noticed my emissary being the new style so I color filled it so u can see it. Looks nice. My new emissary when it gets here I’ll do the same. I also have quit a few colt 1911s one of my favs is the M45A1. In FDE …also a bad ass 1911 from my collection. Good vid I’ll keep watching…..
So, no bull barrel across the board, no optics cut, no double stack, and I'm guessing filled with mim parts? 🤦♂️
Apparently, top strap serration is very expensive.
Not sure on the mim. It’s does not really concern most. The prodigy fills the Springfield double stack space currently. Bill barrels are often found in 9mm guns. Not always found in 45’s.
@@TT-ch2pz what 1911 are you currently running
I know you've touched your EP stuff a couple of times in videos and the gun a little too, but I think it'd be super cool to do a dedicated video on your EP experience and especially diving into the 1911 you guys all carried and tactics, mags, carry setup you guys were running at that time, etc. 🙏😁
Let's nerd out on the ol' 1911 EVEN MORE
Would love to see the old sandpaper grips and traditional roll marks to pay homage to one of the greats. That with an optic cut would be worth it at that price imo. Great vid though!
Can someone please show Springfield how to undercut a trigger guard. Unreal.
I sware 1911 is like the roles Royce version of guns and then you have the 50bmg as the lifted diesel truck
I would like to see them also make it in 9mm.
Good guns, but WAY overpriced for a MIM component, assembly line gun with no optic compatibility. Looks like they at least included front strap checkering.
Do your research on the TRP pistol. Not sure why people hang their hats on mim parts. But I guess buzz words are cool
@@rdrgear no, i own 1911s with mim parts. But if im spending close to 2k I expect quality parts. Dan Wesson is in the same price point with no mim and very good parts fitment. I guess thats just my opinion i have gained through my own experiences
@@abledemo1 which dan Wesson do you own? I look at dan Wesson like i do Cz, to date I have not heard or read anything on mim parts being an issue in performances or accuracy. No really mentioned MIM until Hilton Yam did.
The only thing that this pistol is missing is an optics cut/plate system. Thankfully, there are a bunch of aftermarket companies that do that now, lol.
You are writing exactly what everyone else is, no one is making you buy it.
Great content but I have the Ronin 5” love it.
I have the ronin in 4.25". Love it. Prob 3k rounds through mine. Great for IDPA ESP (mines 9mm)
Now send it back to SA for the TRP upgrades like Magwell night sights and front checkering so you can keep your LIFE TIME WARRANTY
Narrative may be better with a 🔴
If I'm buying one it's the full rail operator. If they only made it in 9mm. But the new Embissory 4.25 with full rail blackout is nice but for a single stack its priced to high. But great for smaller hands vs. The prodigy.
True. But man the slide to frame fit on the emissary is nice. Full review on the 5’ coming soon
I thought about picking one up but….. Since I have an Alchemy Quantico 9mm I don’t see the point.
Had the honor of qualifying in the army with the 1911. The m9 I was supposed to use was junked, springs were worn out and frame was cracked. I’d rather have old faithful every day than a gutted out turd. Both are amazing so please don’t get me wrong but I went with caution because I didn’t wanna eat the slide from the beretta.
Wow
I want a 10mm version
Get the Springfield Ronin in 10mil then send it back for TRP upgrades like Magwell night sights front checkering so you can keep your LIFE TIME WARRANTY
I have three TRP's Armory-kote, full rail, and stainless. All three have sat in the safe for the last five years. They're great guns. But, cannot hold a candle to the double stack 1911 offerings available now. These days, if a new option comes out that isn't optic cut, it has markedly lower sales over those which do offer an optic cut. Coming with only two magazines is another misstep. This is a huge missed opportunity by Springfield.
The double stack is only a 9mm offering. 1911 purists who look for gods caliber understand they don’t have many options in the double stack market. 1911’s have been coming with 2 eight round mags for decades.
@@rdrgear I understand what you mean. My comparison to double stack 1911's was perhaps out of place as the few companies who made a .45 double stack are no longer in business or discontinued those offerings. As for only offering two magazines, perhaps I was just spoiled as my LEO purchases always came with at least three.
I Feel like a lot of people won't get why would you buy a single stack "traditional" 1911 in 2024 but it's like buying a muscle car or a nice watch.
it's a second kinda cool thing, it's not a 100% practical for all situations but it's not supposed to be. Have fun carry what you find cool.
Very well said.
Yep, it’s like the guy that says he is only a ford guy, what tard would pass up a 88 K5 or 427 vette because it’s Chevy?
That's an awesome handgun....but no way in hell will I pay as much for a handgun as an m1a.....I'd rather just buy another m1A ...or buy another remington 700 or winchester model 70 super grade....I just can't justify paying $1800 for a handgun when I can buy a a colt 1911 AND a rifle for the cost of just one of these springfield TRP.....that being said tho.....that is a really cool looking 1911.....different strokes for different folks tho...if it's worth the price to you, then I hope you enjoy the hell out of it....and that it never gives you a minutes trouble...I also hope you get lots of compliments.
Please post were you are finding colt 1911’s for under 1k I will take 5.
Springfield should have focused on bringing back SACS.
I don’t disagree.
whats the point for this "new model"?????? we need full lenght dust cover, bull barrel, optic cut, this is going backward
I have a trp armory kote and a full rail trp the bushing barrel with fixed sights makes a better gun for social use but no optic cut is silly for that price in 2024. Especially when I can get a Dan and Wesson specialist w optic cut for similar money.
Why in the world do we still have new guns coming out without the option for RDS? At this price point there should be the option to run irons or red dot. My 2 cents
Agreed. I would not be surprised if we see Trp Optics cut at NRA show. But I would like to see prodigy offerings first
# 999 X 999.
Now, to get them to us in commiefornia.
I thought this was the video on the TRP? This was a lot of rambling.
My worst customer experience ever involved Springfield and a 1911. Never again.
What happened?
@@TheRealZJM377 quick summary: brand new 1911. First time shooting it front sight started drifting out of the dove tail after 40 rounds. Sent it to Springfield, got it back, same problem. Two gunsmiths at the shop where I bought it replaced the front sight twice. No front sight would stay in, obviously something wrong with the milling. Sent it back to Springfield again, they put a front sight on it I would NEVER use, drilled through the sight, deforming it, and through the slide to pin and weld it to the slide. Gave it a try anyway, printing 3 inches high and 3 inches left. Call Springfield again, and the person told me the issue was probably with my aim. I literally begged multiple people multiple times to just send me a new slide and they wouldn’t do it. Thinking I could get traction by sharing the experience on social media, Springfield deleted my comments on their page and then blocked me on all socials. If they had just sent me a new slide I would have stayed a loyal customer. This wasn’t my first Springfield but it was definitely my last.
@@DizzyShizzy o ok.thats a first for me.
@@DizzyShizzygunsmiths!?!? Should’ve known better and pinned it.
I liked the video but single stacked 1911s with no features in 2024 is ridiculous. They are ready made a TRP. How about a double stacked TRP Springfield? This pistol makes zero sense
No features? Lmao, the only feature that this is missing is an optics cut or optics plate system. What features is it missing to you?
Also, double stack .45 ACP 1911s usually suck, and Springfield already has a double stack 9mm 1911, the Prodigy.
You do realize there is still a huge market of folks who like single stack 1911s and don’t like optics right?
Double stack would make it…. Not a 1911 lol.
DOUBLE STACK .40 😂
You know it kills me to hear people talk about the 1911 pistol like it’s so yesterday! As a gun lover..how on earth could you not love this pistol! It ooozes everything manly about how your supposed to feel holding a firearm!! If you’re not man enough to try and tame a 45 then buy it in 9mm and have one of the most accurate pistols ever made!
If I didn’t have a Dan Wesson Specialist I’d certainly consider this
You’d be making a bad choice. Springfield was great in the 80-90s, now…not so much.
Dan Wesson is the best balance between quality and affordability. Anything else just cost more.
@@HWG-wm8ldwhile I agree that Springfield is not on the level of Dan Wesson I’ve had experience with the old model TRP and it was very fine quality…would I trade it for my Specialist, no but it was still a fine piece of machinery
