The Springfield Armory TRP (Tactical Response Pistol) was originally developed to offer consumers a semi-custom 1911 with features and performance similar to those of the Springfield Armory Professional chosen by the FBI’s Hostage Rescue Team.
Today, we’ll be looking at the newest addition to the TRP family. With a forged frame and slide, a match-grade barrel, and a Gen 2 Speed Trigger, it has all the fixings for maximum durability and accuracy.
The finer details were not glanced over either, as the TRP features a two-piece magwell, skeletonized hammer, and 20-LPI checkering on the frontstrap.
After taking my TRP to the range and putting many holes in paper downrange, I see the appeal of placing so many upgrades into one nicely packaged 1911. However, those upgrades come with a steep price tag.
If you’re looking for a basic range pistol to enjoy on the weekends, the TRP may not make much sense from a price perspective, but if you’re going to be relying on it for home protection or concealed carry, the price can be more easily justified.
We’d like to thank Springfield for sending us this TRP to test and review, and also assure you that our opinions remain 100% our own.
So, without further ado, enjoy a closer look at the brand-new Springfield Armory 1911 TRP.

Springfield 1911 TRP Overview
Once you shoot the TRP, you’ll quickly realize it’s not meant to be a safe queen. This 1911 is meant to be shot and enjoyed.
Even from a quick glance, you can see the quality of the pistol. The coyote brown Cerakote finish is flawless, the multi-color G-10 Hydra VZ grips match the finish and controls nicely, and the 20-LPI checkering usually reserved for more custom firearms finishes it beautifully.
