Dude owns a holster company, and in the video PLUGS ANOTHER HOLSTER COMPANY. The integrity is real in this man right here.
jsizzlesaurusrex Haha, thanks man. Yeah I don’t make duty holsters brotha. I run safariland for all duty retention holsters. Solid stuff my man. Thanks for checking out our video!
To be fair is is admitting that his holsters target the ccw or competition market and not the LE and Mil market. Great distinction and helps his customers in the end!
Everyone gotta eat 🤷♂️
@@jacobsills8257 Safariland eats very well . My department issues Safariland holsters & I have one for multiple different pistols which is where the qls system rock's . I use a T-Rex Arm's Sidecar for off duty edc aiwb but for duty holsters Safariland is the best . In the National Guard we used the Blackhawk serpa for our sidearm but I believe the Army anyway has completely switched to the Safariland als/sls level 3 .
Not to mention,
Many Departments mandate holsters.
Footage is looking so clean! Great video as usual
peartreeranch thank you! Appreciate that! 👍🏼🤘🏼🙌🏻
Biggest regret was selling my TRP a few years back, needed money for college at the time. Will definitely be getting one again in the future. Awesome video!
Ethan Wolgamott Oh man, that’s too bad. Yeah I would definitely look back into getting one. I am tempted just to get another to have a newer one.
love to see more about this gun. this gun is hot right now! ❤
Cant get it anymore but I have a sig 1911 tacops in 9mm.... amazing bedside gun.
Also have the Springfield lightweight operator. Great guns.
Good stuff man. Keep up the good work.
rcurr198 Thanks man. Thank you for checking out the video and the kind words. Much appreciated.
Rcurr198... Cant get the TRP operator anymore???? I was gonna place an order at my LGS..is this real? Thank you
Very sexy firearm. I carry a Sig 1911, but own several Springfields including my “scary” one😎
30 seconds and i was committed No BS here straight up ! You are the real deal. Thanks for your effort in producing Bitchen videos!!!
Is this version of the TRP blued? Because it looks like it. I thought they only sell it with Ceracote Finish. And maybe you can tell me where to get those nice grips? :)
Nice work on this video. I am a Huge 1911 fan..... Mostly Les Baers, Dan Wesson, and Wilson Combats, but we are getting into Reviewing Springfield Armory 1911s as of November 2020 with more to come in 2021. Keep up the great work on your Channel. Stay Safe.
😎🥳👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Beretta Sr.
Thanks man! Appreciate you taking the time to check out our content and leave us some kind words!
@BERETTA9mmUSA You should definitely check out Nighthawk if you are into 1911’s. In the semi custom world I think they are putting out the best quality currently.
I think Springfield makes some of the best production 1911’s available. Great video Roger!
Wise Men Company thanks man! I appreciate that! Yeah out of the box I think it’s pretty awesome!
Roger Barrera where you get the hat man love it
Palmer sold on our website. 👍🏼🤘🏼
Brazilian technology (IMBEL)
Kimber is also really nice
I carry a MC Operator on duty. It’s been great. And their customer service is awesome.
Rifleman114 agreed!
@@RogerBarrera If i could ask a question, would the holster you were using fit an MC operator with a light ? & If you were to take the light off your TRP, would you still be able to still use the same holster ok ?
all good , i just had a better look on the Safariland site & it answered my question , the model 6360 ALS/SLS duty holster is the one i'm interested in for the MC operator & can be use with or without the surefire light.
New subscriber .....just because ....integrity and honesty.
Thanks man, appreciate that!
I probably rewatched this video like ten times. I’ve owned my TRP Operator for years and it’s also my duty gun. I just love watching other people talk about my favorite gun.
I love my Glocks but there is just something about a 1911 that gets me sexually aroused😂😂😂 1911 has always been and always will be my favorite.
Efron Tactical haha same! They are definitely a blast to shoot!
It's called ammosexualism
Being a young cop in Vegas sounds like an insane amount of temptation.
His mom straw man purchased him a 1911 for his police academy training, awesome mom!
Just goes to show how asinine some of our laws are.
The department probably wrote a letter to the atf to avoid the straw purchase issue
Keter I know that’s allowed im a cop it’s done a lot it’s the only way you can work as a cop under 21. You can doubt whatever you like but I directly talked to the atf about it because I was in the same situation
@@KeterMalkuth you do know that in a lot of states that ban certain guns they still allow cops to personally own those same guns, right?
edit: I know that isn't entirely relevant to what you said, but it does show that cops get exceptions to some rules so it isn't hard to believe they'd look the other way for someone under 21 to get a pistol
This guy deserves waaaaay more subs! Hook him up boys
I need a 1911 in my collection soon...Thanks Roger, have a great week.
tedybear915 083 thank you! Appreciate you checking out the video!
Awesome video. That is badass the department allowed you to carry your trp. My trp is my go to 100% of the time sidearm. Can’t beat it. In my opinion it’s the very best 1911 for under 3k.
Steven Waldron Agreed man! I’ve seen them around the $1600-$1800 price range lately.
I'm looking at the trp operator in 10mm longslide. Very helpfully, thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
I believe the surefire weapons light pad your looking for is called the DG specifically the DG 18 for 1911 models. Hope that helps brother.
The TRP used to be my duty weapon as well. STI Staccato P has taken over that role now. It's more money but superior in every way.
Awesome video, that's my favorite 1911 and I've always wanted one!
Jessi Taylor get one! That new gray and black is the business!
@@RogerBarrera I always loved the look of the full rail version of the TRP.
I have the same gun and can’t find the Safariland als holster for it. Any chance you have the model # or sku? I run the same light as well. Thanks!
6390-560
Springfield makes some awesome 1911s, though I did have to go with Colt for myself.
Not a shot against Springfield, I just preferred the Colt... though sadly Safariland doesn't make an ALS holster for my Colt Rail Gun....
Claude Crump it’s the same Holster I’m running in this video brotha. Safariland 6390-560. Order it for a Springfield operator with X300u light. I have a colt rail gun in shop today with an X300u and it fits like a glove.
Owning a 45 would be nice but ammo pricing keeps me at 9mm in CA plus you have to pay the communist government a $1 fee for each transaction as they record what and how much you buy. Insane.
I know it’s a easy cop out but seek freedom elsewhere brother. Come move to AZ or NV or Utah. I live in AZ but work in CA and this state is pure insanity. Good people inland and away from the metro I.e. Central Valley, Shasta/Yreka area, Bishop/lone pine area...you know...fellow hillbilly’s.
@@kinnertubbyson love AZ. So much freedom.
I only pay a couple dollars more per box for 45 over 9 locally, like only 2-4 dollars more depending on where I'm going. I don't know california's legality, but I know most states ammunition can be ordered online and shipped right to your door as well.
Also fuck california
Zero
What are you talking about “let it happen “? I fight for my 2nd Amendment rights but this state like lots of them on the west coast and HI are far left leaning. You may live in a liberal gun state now but you may see your rights start to erode. The few of us gun advocates are holding the line as best as we can. The loss or the erosion of gun rights will start in CA and then maybe spread to other states most likely upper East Coast.
@Oliver Pong
That is the same thing my old buddy told me, he’s retiring from peace officer work and headed to ID in November 2021, got himself a few acres near Pocatello. Great state and wonderful people!
Any chance you guys make holsters for the railed 5” RIA and the olight Valkyrie?
beretta989 not at the moment my man. Maybe in time as more molds become available for that particular setup.
I love seeing someone handle their weapon is such a professional and fluid manner. Only gets there with time and hard work. Respect.
maxstatic thank you! I appreciate the kind words and taking the time to check out the video.
Had no idea you were once with LVMP. I guess the holster business has been lucrative for you. Awesome! Hope you left the job content. I have 6 years left before I hang up my duty belt and vest.
LOMROB yeah man, working for myself was the best decision ever. If you’ve been on the job that long I’m sure you’ve seen the changes over the last 10 years or so. Thanks for checking out the channel!
Thank you for your service and for an informative video. I just purchased a stainless, non-railed 1911 TRP.
Thanks man! Appreciate you checking out the video! That's awesome, those look rad!
My first gun. No plastic gun I've come across has earned my love like the 1911.
I have plenty of plastic guns and I like them a lot. My P10C and G45 MOS are great guns, but my TRP Operator is absolutely my favorite pistol and my M9A3 my favorite 9mm
@@RepentorPerish77 My M9A3 also my favorite 9mm.
I love my TRP! non railed version, but I have a Recovery Tactical grip with an Enforce WML installed. Changed the 2 piece guide rod with a Wilson Combat traditional plug. Never had an issue so far 😎
How do you handle that 45 recoil so well? It is very impressive
I just fired this model, buddy took it to the range. It was a bull barrel which helps with the recoil. It’s an awesome gun!
Just bought me one today. Have been a 1911 follower ever since my first handgun. Just seeing the Springfield TRP Operator in the glass display cabinet with all the bells & whistles I just had to have it. Feels right in my hand and got myself a couple of Wilson 10 Rd. Magazines. Can't wait to try it at the open gun range soon.
wendell uytengsu that’s awesome man! I remember when I first saw this gun and I hesitated. I came back the next day and it was gone. I told myself the next time I saw one in stock I will get it and I did. Thanks for checking out our video.
Roger Barrera Great video bud. Enjoyed the old school cliche when the steel plate fell down & you made a remark “ now that’s stopping power” you got that right 👍🏼
wendell uytengsu haha had to! I wanna do a funny video with all of the classic .45 sayings! 🤣😂
Being a Leo and a fan of 1911s. This is my favorite gun video on TH-cam. I have watched this multiple times.
Something comforting about carrying a .45 ACP 1911.
But you KNOW you can’t have adjustable sights on a duty/carry gun!
The internet is 100% in fixed RS for duty/carry. : )
I’ve run old school BoMars on my guns for years with zero issues.
Good vid.
Liked and Sub’d. Hard to find gun reviews from non-annoying people....
Nice weapon for sure, but I'll stick with my HK USP45
.45 1911 ALLDAY EVERYDAY 👍👍🇺🇸
Great video. Just got one, waiting for July 2nd to go pick it up. It has been hard sleeping. I felt like this as a child when I waited for Christmas. 🤣🤣
Hovannss Kupelyan haha thanks man! That’s awesome to hear!
That's an amazing 1911. I have one and it shoots like no other. Only change I made was the tool-less guide rod. I recommend it
Villa Otrebor I’ll have to check that out.
@@RogerBarrera dawsonprecision.com/guiderod-1911-5-springfield-trp-operator-or-professional-model-tool-less-by-dawson-precision/
Yes the TRP operator is awesome. Tool-less guide rod and Dawson Precision fiber optic front sight were a must for me .
I own a RO Elite. Freaking excellent 1911 for under $900.00. This is probably my next 1911. I also carry a stainless 3.5” Springfield Ultra Compact .45. Both Springfields are better than my Ruger and Remington 1911’s. Excellent build quality for the money.
Not sure if it was mentioned yet, but the surefire light switch for the X200/300 you have is the SF (Special Forces “Delta”) Switch. The more common one DG (DevGru “Team 6”) Switch. I remember seeing one years ago on Hackathorn’s 1911, when asked said something to the sort. I remember trying to find one online but was unable to. Guess surefire only made a small batch and got better feedback on the DG Switch. I do remember liking the SF Switch better though, if you don’t want it I’ll take it off your hands.
ive been looking for one for a while now, everyone is saying its the dg-18 so i bought one and its definitely not the same as the one in the video, so if you can help me find one id really appreciate it, Thanks!
The ALS is the shit! I carried the SLS for 18yrs was looking at the Safariland web site
I ordered the ALS for my G22 w/x300 light and never looked back. best holster system ever. My department switched to the G17M 2yrs ago same light and same ALS holster. I just purchased A Springfield 1911 Defender GM for fun gonna need accessories. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for your service. I live in Vegas. And I appreciate all like you who protect our community. Awesome vid bro.
powerstrip1000 thanks man, I appreciate that. Thanks for the kind words and for checking out the video.
I LOVE the 1911. If not for the manual safety, I would be carrying a 1911 for my EDC.
My beautiful wife bought me one for my birthday in May. LOVE IT!!!!
Looks like you swapped out the stock grip panels, which panels are these, they look really good on the gun.
Michael HINTLIAN yeah the original ones took some gnarly wear over the years. I’m honestly not sure which ones these are. I remember looking for grip tape style 1911 grips and this is what I found.
Nice video, Don't have the TRP yet but have the Loaded package. I'm a huge 1911 fan.
Keanon Gilliam thanks man! The loaded models are awesome too! Thanks for checking out the video!
Roger I absolutely love the aesthetics of the full rail TRP Operator! I had one and wish I still had it. Not only was it great looking it was a real shooter, very reliable and accurate. I’m still a 1911 guy and now dabbling in the 2011 world. Great video brother!
I couldn't be more happy with my TRP Operator 1911 in 10mm longslide, it's a winner.
tooI me
gotta love those single stack pistols for concealed carry
That's one sexy TRP...
Francisco Ramos haha thanks man! Yeah I dig it!
I have a TRP that I bought right after I got back from Afghanistan in 2011 it was my first 1911 after shooting my grandpas gold cup as a kid my whole life. I still love the pistol I carry quite often when I’m working outside open carry it more often than not still shoots like a dream never an issue and have put thousands of rounds through it. It’s such a great pistol.
Cameron agreed man! It’s been one of my favorite guns for a very long time and something I trusted my life with for years on patrol. Thanks for checking out our video and sharing, much appreciated brotha!
What rig do you run for Safariland for a duty/tactical? Possible video on it?
Nathan Curley I talked about it in this video. The ALS 6390.
@@RogerBarrera ok thanks! I must have missed it
Nathan Curley there’s also this video about my entire battle belt setup.
th-cam.com/video/cYovzQljCUo/w-d-xo.html
TRP OPé2024 TRP guns---no doubt they are well built production guns comparable to `custom quality`guns. What I find odd about Springfield is why they had to include some MIM parts on the TRP at all. At it`s price ppoint they could still make money by using all forged parts (like a DW 1911 or Standard Manufacturing 1911).
Oddly they still don`t support RDS....even the 2024. Not that it matters to me since i don`t feel the need since i don`t compete. As a duty gun....i suppose a LEO might want a RDS as your rules of engagement is different from a civilian`s. Legally. Though I`m pretty sure (edu guess) most real world shootout distances are `point and shoot`....plus, if your`re beging shot at you`re no longer trying for 2`groupings....heh...
1911`s question---is there a mecanical reason why there are no àmbi mag release buttons`É Someone said it`s not possible. But it IS on the H*K P30 :)
I like 1911 myself too..and yes agree where ever I aim i hit too
I must have missed it. What caliber did you carry, 9,40 or45?
larry lucas TRP Operator is .45 caliber brotha. 👍🏼🤘🏼
Roger Barrera nice, what loadings were used?
I would love the HRT ... thanks
Very nice video. Question I know it's totally two different pistols. What's your take on this Springfield comparing to Sig P320 Spectre Comp? I've seen your review on that as well.
I've been shootin 1911s for over 50 years still sleep every night with the same 1911 i used to save my life with in Vietnam (the same gun). Got a few 1911s don't have to think to run one. My fave newer gun is my TRP...best bang for the buck.
You are pretty badass with that 1911. Makes me want to practice more.
Mobilemechman Tim haha thanks man, just a lot of time with it is all
Roger Barrera You got skills too bro.
Great review. Great story. Spent my high school years in Vegas. Eldorado High. Parents still live there.
ED EARLE that’s where I grew up man. Down the street on Christy lane. Rough area for sure!
Love my TRP!!!!!!!
Me too! It’s my favorite pistol by far!
How about ammo? Is the trp finicky with hollow points? I own a kimber and a rock island 1911 and both hate some hollow points. I’ve only found that Winchester defender pdx works best. And of course fmj.
I have this exact set up and I’m looking for a duty holster with rotating hood. Can you link?
Your department let's you carry 1911s?? That's pretty cool. Around here it's all glocks, M&Ps, or sigs
Hi my name is Bobby, im looking for a 1911 TRP 45 ! point me in the right direction for a TRP in my hand ! the Republic of Cali
I carried mine on duty as well with a blade tech that I cracked just before I retired. Blade tech stopped making it and I wasn't able to order another one. I wanted to switch to safari land but I couldn't find the model number that would be a ALS locking system. Only an SLS is it my light TLR1 that makes it where I can't get an ALS ?
I've never owned a 1911 simply because there over priced over hyped and not really that reliable I've shot 3 grand 1911s and wouldnt make it thru a 8 round magazine without jamming every other round then again I've shot 1911s that have never jammed they are a hit and miss platform sure there over a 100 year old design and at the time they where the king of American handguns but in modern times they dont make since especially when you can have a glock 21 13 rounds of 45acp but if I could ever find a highly reliable military spec 1911 I'd buy it apart of me has always wanted 1
Which safariland holster will fit the TRP Full Rail? Everyone says safariland makes one but idk why i cant find it.
Say what you will,
But the 1911 platform is one of the most pointable handguns ever made,
In addition to having one of, if not the finest triggers known.
What holster is that? I know it’s a Safariland 6360, but is that the exact one you’ll need for a 1911, is there a sub model?
Do you happen to know the exact holster model number for your current Safariland? Their holster finder on the website sucks.
Still my duty gun. I sent it to Vulcan machine works to have it milled for a trijicon red dot plate. I love it man.
Over 60 rounds of 45 on your belt! I couldn’t do that with all the other crap.
Always interesting to hear what LEOs use/used during duty. Thanks for your service. My uncle works on our local PD special response team and he has developed some interesting tastes in the guns/gear he uses. Since we are both gun nuts we go back and forth sharing ideas. Keep up the work!
Jose Reyes thanks man! Appreciate that! Thanks for checking out the video and taking time to write this!
Hi roger i was wondering if you have any holster made for s&w shield ez 380 with tlr8 light that can be used with safariland qls ?
Try the HK45 think you'll love it
You’ve certainly got great taste in a duty weapon. No question.
Got me a Springfield loaded at the pawn shop and im pretty sure its basically brand new. Im so in love with it. Good shooting btw
Frank The Rabbit that’s awesome man congrats! Thank you for checking out our video and the kind words, much appreciated!
Does your Second’s holster clear an rmr mounted on the Trp full rail?
It can, it just depends on where the optic is mounted and how the slide is cut. If you plan on ordering just send us an email of your setup so we can make sure its right before shipping it to ya! Thanks for checking out the video.
What else did you run as an officer, or was it just your TRP?
Justin Young back up 3” micro compact from Springfield
Bro the spring field 1911 TRP is my dream pistol and I can’t find them anywhere 😢
I love my full-rail TRP! Nice video. Subscribed.
Fritz D thanks man I appreciate that. Full rail is the way to go!
Just noticed how close that triggerguard smith was to the holster…man have to check that so it don’t activate the light on insertion…I want 1 for my specialist
I have always loved the 1911 it is one of my favorite pistol
Anyone know the name of the holster he's using.? Know its safariland but not the type.
How about shoulder vertical holster for this exact gun cant find any
My first was the MC Operator. The only mods I made were 20lpi front checkering and a deep under trigger guard cut. Been carrying this gun now for almost 20 years. I also have thr TRP full rail great gun as well.
I had the same weapon for 10 years of a 26 year LEO carreer. I know it's the best.
Great Video! Wonderful information and I will be checking out your holsters!
Hey Roge, need some assistance. I had intended to switch my duty weapon to a full railed TRP, however when I contacted safariland customer service, they told me they don’t make holsters for full railed firearms.
I selected the regular Springfield operator with x300u. With a weapon light the rail doesn’t matter. It works.
They run like glass and love mine but they are a bitch to break down unless you get the guild rod upgrade.
I have the half rail trp model and love it!
I have the same with the 3/4 rail and honestly absolutely love it. Only things i want to change on mine is the site's and get a flared mag well. Other then that rock solid firearm. Would love to do a collab video if your ever near Austin.
What holster model number are you using in the footage... I may be adding to the 2 good reviews on this handgun lol
Great review video as always. I asked you on your Insta live about your fav .45...I should’ve known better and checked the YT channel!
Mike C hahaha all good. Thanks for checking out the video.
Dunno if you ever found the SF part# but I looked into it and it’s the DG-18 I believe. Looks like BCM has it listed in stock on their website.
95jza80tt thank you man, however that is not the right one. This is just a straight bar and does not go into the grip.
@@RogerBarrera Alright after failing I have been searching off and on for the past week and finally found the answer. I think the switch is a TG-11 which was meant for a glock. SF never made the TG series for a standard railed 1911. The TG-17 listed for 1911 is one using the SF rail adapter(MR07) which puts the light a little lower than the trigger guard on a standard railed 1911. I verified from images and cross referenced the switches through an old SF catalog PDF I found online.
@@RogerBarrera for reference sake
TG-11 TRIGGER GLOCK
TG-13 TRIGGER SIG 220
TG-14 TRIGGER SIG 226, 228, 229
TG-15 TRIGGER FULL SIZE HK USP 9/40/45 USING SF RAIL ADAPTER
TG-16 TRIGGER BERETTA VERTEC
TG-17 TRIGGER FOR 1911 USING SF RAIL ADAPTER
95jza80tt Hahha thanks man! I found some TG11 knock offs that might be okay since it’s just the switch housing
Im not a springfield fan but for some reason i need to own a springfield trp operator
Roger Barrera Do you prefer the 1911 TRP with the guide rod or with the Dawson precision tool less guide rod.
Rob M I’ve never see the Dawson guide rod. I’ll have to check that out.
