ok, so I picked up the TRP last week. (didn't tell the wife yet, so let's keep this between us.) lucky she can't tell the difference between a Glock and 1911. so I think I got this pulled off. anyhow...
I am excited mainly because this is the nicest handgun I presently own and probably will for awhile. By Nicest I mean most exspencive. Payed 1495.00 then with good old 9% sales tax here in NY ended up 1600 something.
Took it to a indoor range and put 100 rounds of whitebox through it and another 50 of PMC. Gun worked great. The only issue I had was 2 stove pipes. Both happened when I tryed to fire a round with no magazine just had the one round in the chamber. Not sure if that is an issue or can you not do that with a 1911? I have never owned one before so I have no clue. Accuracy wise, i came to realize that I probably could have got away with a cheaper model. Possibly should have purchased a nice slingshot. Because realistically I'm really not a good shot.but as far as I can tell the gun shoots great. I took it apart today to clean it. And it took me over an hour. thank God for YouTube. Otherwise I would have been an hour late to work.but after a good cleaning a lube it seems the rack even smoother than originally. So far i like the gun.I really don't have enough time with it so far. To make a good assessment.my long term goal for this gun. Is to use it for uspsa.
