Geneseo, Illinois – January 18th, 2024 – Based on the Springfield Armory® Professional 1911 chosen by the FBI’s Hostage Rescue Team, the TRP™ family of pistols was created to deliver a premium, hard-use 1911 platform. And now, the line has been refreshed to offer six new .45 ACP models with a wide range of impressive new features.
The TRP offers fully featured platforms specifically designed and built for demanding 1911 enthusiasts. Drawing inspiration from the Springfield Armory Professional 1911, TRP pistols undergo meticulous hand fitting for both form and function. And with these six new models, shooters have a modern take on a proven classic.
“The TRP has long been one of the most respected 1911 pistols not only in the Springfield line but also in the broader 1911 community,” said Steve Kramer, Vice President of Marketing for Springfield Armory. “With these new TRP variants, Springfield Armory is taking a proven classic into the 21st century.”
These six new TRP 1911 .45 ACP models are made up of two Classic models, two Rail models, and two Carry Contour models. The Classic pistols are offered in 5” and 4.25” versions, with both featuring all-steel construction as well as two-piece magwells. The Rail models are both 5” all-steel guns with two-piece magwells and a Picatinny rail on the dustcover. They are offered in Black or Coyote Brown finishes. The final two Carry Contour (CC models) feature 4.25” barrels along with a bobbed, lightweight aluminum frame for ease of concealment. These two variants, which do not feature extended magwells, are also offered in Black or Coyote Brown.
Springfield Armory is sure to draw a lot of excitement with these new TRP 1911 handguns because it is not only a tip of the hat to the originals, but also a resounding step forward with even more modern features, aesthetic touches, and accoutrements.
