Question - SA Operator with Threaded Barrel

[Lab4Us]

First off, does anyone have experience with one of these (SA Operator w/Threaded Barrel)?

Having had a blast shooting my 9mm Shadow 2 Carry and FN Reflex suppressed, I’m thinking I might find shooting a .45 1911 suppressed as well (though I think I’ll have to get another suppressor - darn my luck) .

It seems like these are the only ones that SA offers with threaded barrels and I’m very happy with the two SA 1911s I already have (Emissary and TRP CC). Don’t really want to drop Ed Brown, or similar semi custom money. They’re available for around $300 under MSRP at various sites. I’d likely go for the OD Green or Tungsten Gray. I think I can get a matching optic for either of those finishes. DISCLAIMER: Yes, I know I said I was probably done adding new guns…but alas, then I played with pistol suppressors .

no experience shooting 1911's suppressed, but have shot lots of other .45's suppressed.
since you already are used to suppressed, your pretty much set except for a suppressor that will shoot .45's and this handgun of course.

I will say that the SA Operator threaded you linked is one sexy beast !!!!.
I'm here to be the Enabler and tell you to go get that !!!!

At least you said “one”…there are four colors - Coyote Brown, Tungsten Gray, OD Green, and, of course, Black…

Coyote brown. Lock it in and get it.
That was easy.
Or… OD Green. Hmmm.

Actually, my TRP CC is coyote brown…why I’m leaning toward ODG.

ODG it is then!!
Nice looking guns. I like the coyote brown with the bobtail grip.

Me too, but that’s more because it weighs 26 oz, 15 oz less than Emmisary or the full size Operator.

SA used to have the EMP CC Contour, which i thought was real sharp looking.

Almost looks like a Wilson Combat EDC X9 1.0, though not in stainless. It is all metal though. lightweight 7075-T6 aluminum alloy (machined in-house by Wilson Combat as their proprietary X-Frame).
