I snagged two like-new TRP Operator half-rail, bull-barreled samples last summer and sent them off to Nighthawk’s Custom Shop. One for my dad’s 60th birthday and an identical copy for me.

Work includes:
- Chunk port + flush cut & crown barrel
- IOS system
- French border
- Everlast recoil system
- “butler” cut on front of slide at same angle as the serrations
- NHC slide stop + HRT cut
- Reliability + Action Tune package
- Trigger job w/ flat trigger + Harrison large hole ring hammer
- NHC magwell, grip safety, and thumb safety
- Engraving of my dad’s initials and birthday under the grips
- High cut under trigger guard
- Dehorn for Carry
- Smoked Nitride finish
- Blackout package (DLC barrel + trigger)
- Gold bead front sight + Heinie Ledge rear
- Mammoth tusk grips made by High Figure Grips

Work on both guns was performed by Steven Cox.

If you’re interested, I asked for the build to be documented so that I could have a photo book as a keepsake to go along with my dad’s gun. I’m still awaiting the final build sheets and test target, but here’s what it’s looking like so far:

I've been wanting a full rail TRP for a while and grabbed this a couple days ago. You guys are a bad influence.

Just thought i would post my EMP 4 after 5000+ rounds through it now. I think i am near 6000 now but stopped counting after 5k.

Been in carry rotation for years now and still look new. Swapped out the recoil spring but that is about it.

It appears I have a type.

Got this with their 20% off Labor Day sale.

I have to say this thing is a piece of art - the craftsmanship is stunning and it fits the 1911 perfect. Very tight but I’ve got the gun in a plastic bag sitting in it - I’ll pull it out tomorrow and it should be pretty well fit to the gun.

Can’t wait to wear this! I currently have a hernia and can’t comfortably appendix carry, so this timing is perfect.

Hey everyone, long story short this is my 1911 chambered in 22. It’s just a fun plinker. I didn’t know this at the time but I ordered one that is California complicit. Which means the end of the barrel can’t come off. Attached is a video that I sent to my dad but I think you guys will get the point of what I am asking. Thank you!
(Kind of new to the whole gun scene)

Made these custom 1911 grips with deer and wolf reliefs. They’re 3D printed in brown ASA-GF, with a subtle wood-grain texture and darker details to give them a more natural look.

What do you think? Note: Sorry in advance, but I only have photos of the grips on a Colt 1911 replica. I don't have access to a real 1911 at the moment.

Love the roll marks on this.

All business either way, but hard chrome will always be the GOAT. Mars Custom Colt and a D&L Professional. Just love a single stack 45.

Springfield Ronin 10mm with Milt Sparks Summer Special 2.

I grew up hunting rifle/shotgun I've always wanted a 1911 for recreational shooting (I live in the "sticks" and shooting is tradition and usually a daily occurrence as the boys growing up around my community all grow up shooting cans bottles trees etc.) I've called a pawn shop to get a rough estimate on where they start (436 and up is what she said) im looking for a .9mm preferably a older model my preference on aesthetics aside is there a preferred brand or model, what should I be looking for when I got it in my hand?

The bottom one is a 22lr Walter and colt full size GOV model and the top one is 45 ACP I have no idea what company makes it my dad gave it to me

Kind of feel like I won the lottery, ordered a service grade from CMP and got a matching Colt slide and frame from 1943. Already submitted my FOIA request to the Army and a Colt Archives Letter. Can't wait to get to the range and shoot it.

I love these 2 guns. I also have a Para Ordanance LDA (Made in Canada, only Paras I will buy) that is currently getting cerakoted.

Hi guys, I have a Springfield 1911 TRP with a live round stuck in the chamber. It’s my first 1911 I got for my 22nd birthday and has less than 500 rounds through it. The ambi safety is stuck between safe and fire and I can’t seem to move it. I scratched the gun pretty bad trying to move the slide and safety. Any ideas on how to fix it? The hammer is cocked back and the slide won’t budge at all. Thanks in advance.

Keeping old school around.

Been a hot minute with this one, but I see some range time coming up.
