Springfield TRP LR9124 CC 4.25

Hello,
I am new here and was hoping to get any review(s) or opinion(s) on this 4.25-inch lightweight .45.

I am considering ordering one and would appreciate any feedback.

Thanks, Mark

Welcome to the forum. I'm more of a vintage 1911 fan but that looks like a nice pistol.

I wanted to be the first on my block with a Brown Bobtail. I didn't like it in use and traded it away.
I am noticeably less accurate with the short sight radius and rear balance of a 4.25".
YMMV

Thanks for the welcome.

I wondered about that Jim, the way that it handled and shot.
I own a TRP full size since 2006, has about 22,000 rounds through it, give or take. Gun is flawless, and accurate.
Given the price for this lightweight I thought I would get some opinions.

My "newest" 1911 is a 1974 Colt LWC tuned by Wilson Combat. The lightweight frame with loaded magazine and steel slide balances well for me.
