Springfield 1911 TRP 45 ACP Full-Size Pistol with Black Armory Kote Finish

Overview

The Springfield 1911 TRP 45 ACP Full-Size Pistol with Black Armory Kote Finish represents a production-grade sidearm engineered to meet the demands of tactical professionals and serious shooters. Built on Springfield Armory’s legacy of 1911 platform refinement, this full-size pistol combines a forged carbon steel frame and slide with the proprietary Black Armory Kote finish for enhanced corrosion resistance and reduced glare. Chambered in .45 ACP, the TRP (Tactical Response Pistol) delivers the weight, balance, and trigger geometry that define the 1911 platform while incorporating modern manufacturing tolerances. Each pistol is hand-assembled and inspected at the Springfield Armory facility in Geneseo, Illinois, ensuring consistent lockup and feed reliability across the production run.

Features & Specs

The barrel is a forged, match-grade stainless steel unit with a fully supported ramp and a 1:16-inch twist rate, optimized for hardball and hollow-point ammunition. The slide features front and rear cocking serrations, a lowered and flared ejection port, and a dovetail front sight paired with a low-profile combat rear sight that is drift-adjustable for windage. The trigger system uses a forged, skeletonized aluminum trigger with an adjustable over-travel stop, delivering a factory pull weight averaging 4.5 to 5.0 pounds as measured on standard test fixtures.
