Suddenly, I feel like a lesser man..... - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

So, I go out and buy a loaded Springfield Operator TRP last week.

I am talking to my buddy about it, and he whips out his Springfield TRP Custom FBI-Pro. Straight out of Springy's Custom Shop. Man, was I envious! One of like 3,000 of those made. It was one of the originals that the FBI rejected without the railed dust cover, before the FBI decided to go with the railed models. Very cool.

Now, I want one!!

Ohh my that's my dream gun too. It also is my wallpaper(not mine but here she goes).

LUVMYSIGP225 · 02-20-2008, 03:14 PM

Oh, yeah. That's it. Very close. Minus rail.

That's bada$$, Chief. That there is bad.

You feel like a lesser man? I just bought a regular 5" SS Loaded. That FBI Pro is sweet! Way cooler than what I have.

i think i actually like them better without the light rail.

i have the basic GI45 that i carry for duty, and i love it. im not one on high end custom guns, but if i were to buy one it would be the pro. besides being a springfield, i like that the FBI contract writers were smart enough to leave off the front cocking serrations and the full length guide rod!!

i think if i had one the only thing i would do to it is take off the ambi saftey, other than that i would just shoot it every chance i got and carry it!.

on a side note.. the profesionals with a light rail will be marked operator, and the ones without will still say professional..

i still drool when i see the pics! its the only high end gun that i am even interested in!

Don't get me wrong, Mikey. My TRP is a very bad unit. The Pro just really caught my eye!!!

Wow that Springfield TRP Custom FBI-Pro looks perfect. I wish I had the coin to drop on a really nice 1911!

I cannot grasp the 'lesser man concept' someone explain to me what makes a TRP FBI-Pro better than my Kimber Custom. I would like to share in your misery... NOT!

Gantz · 02-21-2008, 06:47 PM

i'd totally take that 1911 if i had the choice...

sadly; however, that picture reminds me that a sig is growing on me.. and i don't like that lol
