One of the Best Production 1911s on the Market Just Got Better | The New Springfield TRP Series
About this video
Colion reviews Springfield Armory’s updated TRP 1911 pistol lineup, comparing the new models to the original TRP he’s owned for a decade. He breaks down the visual and functional changes across the full-size and compact versions, highlighting improvements in grip texture, trigger design, slide-to-frame fit, and finish quality. Colion argues the new TRPs maintain exceptional value at their price point while delivering fit and finish he associates with much more expensive custom 1911s.
Key takeaways
- Colion teaches that the new TRP models feature significantly tighter slide-to-frame fit with zero play, compared to slight movement in the older version
- According to Colion, the compact TRP-C offers a 4.25-inch barrel and carry-contoured frame for concealed carry, while maintaining the quality features of the full-size model
- Colion explains that the new Hydra VC grips provide aggressive texture under firm grip pressure but smooth out when relaxed, improving control without sacrificing carry comfort
