    Springfield TRP won't close slide with 8 rounds

    Well I don’t know what the official definition of “dissertation” is and how it pertains to what I said but the OP has been told numerous times how to fix it yet hasn’t responded anymore except further describing the problem.

    Springfield TRP won't close slide with 8 rounds

    These guns are built tighter than your standard 1911. No matter what others may say and I know they are not “custom fitted” guns, but I’ve owned over twenty different 1911s and can assure you the TRP is a tighter built gun. They don’t work being light handed. Slam that magazine in there about...

    Springfield TRP won't close slide with 8 rounds

    Happens with multiple magazines. No decent 1911 is that finicky, especially a quality one like a TRP. It’s the mag catch. Either put a Wilson in it or hit the mag catch ledge with a stone or file.

    Springfield TRP won't close slide with 8 rounds

    I don’t think the extractor has anything to do with it. Why do you? And what are you calling the extractor? It doesn’t play a roll in what I am interpreting you describing. As your description is very challenging to understand, let me see if I am clear. With an empty chamber, if you push a fully...

    New owner of a 1911 and have a question

    If you are “clearing” the firearm, the very first thing you should do is drop the magazine. You pulling the slide back with a magazine in it in an effort to “clear” it already shows you need a lot of basic understanding to be safe. Learn and practice basic handling skills before trying to move...

    In a World of Compacts, Is it Bad my EDC is a Full Size?

    The larger pistols are easier to shoot well. Carry the largest pistol you can comfortably conceal. I carry a LW Commander while working all day doing cemetery work. I carry my 5” when not working.

    When it comes down to it, what is your "go to" EDC?

    Tisas Stingray 9mm in TTGunleather. Or my Colt Combat Elite. Carried a TRP for a little while but the thing made my Colt feel like a Commander and felt much heavier for some reason.

    Show off your 1911

    Thanks. Been shooting 1911s since the 90s. I’ve had many other Springfields but sold them. One was a Champion LW. Nice piece but didn’t like that proprietary recoil spring setup. Also had a Champion GI from early 90s. Same thing. Didn’t like that weird set up. Had a Lw 5” too which was a nice...

    EMP4 Contour Carry

    Hey guys, first time in this forum. I am aggressively looking for an EMP 4 Contour Carry. I’m sure a lot of people are. SA shows this as discontinued but they also show the TRP as discontinued so I don’t know what to make of that. I just bought. A new roll marked TRP and my wife loves it and my...
