Mine has been a Jam-O-Matic even though I’ve only shot 230g FMJ and is back at Springfield for warranty work. By contrast, my Tisas run just fine, especially the Raider.
what's different from the old , the color of the grips , and going backwards to the old barrel bushing. The whole draw was the bull barrel hand fitted to the slide.
You mean front strap checkering. It has front serrations on the slide. I tried skateboard tape, but I found Talon grip tape is more comfortable and not as abrasive. You can always buy a Smith and Alexander mag well funnel.
We EALLY DO need to think hard about what is truly important to US in a gun. The new Operator is so similar to he new Emissary which is "close to" the new TRP. Why would we pick the Operator over the Emissary? Or visa-versa....or go witw the updtated TRP--have a few more spending bucks?? Why would we REALLY be looking a thte Emissary? Because it comes with the blued slide? I LOVE blued guns and wished the updated TRP came with a blued finish...only comes in black and a CereKote "dog poop brown"....The Operator does it all and is an all steel gun....pric d more "fairly' for most...the Emissary IMHO is priced little high IMHO (could get the last version "TRP Oparator" for hte same or less money....)....I mean if you're ONLy taking the gun to the range....
Another SA 1911 my local gun shop won’t be able to get. I’ve been waiting on a 10mm Ronin for almost a year ($1300 on Gunbroker last week). Maybe work on availability guys.
I said the same thing, but the smooth front is actually what I prefer now. That or the pachmyer wraparound grip like on the marine corps operator. Checkered is nice like on the early mc operators, but it's definitely comfy without. I don't like the trp type checking, it can wear your hands out.
Just wonder... what makes this operator different then the TRP which I have, exact same features listed in the review. (Thanks for the under 5 review, hate when people drag out reviews. lol)
TRP Operator has front strap checkering, adjustable sights, and says "tactical" all over it. Also, I wouldn't take anything on this channel as a review, more of a commercial. The Armory Life is part of Springfield.
I prefer the full rail TRP. This just looks like the same gun besides the full rail, and front strap checkering, no mag well, and the back strap checking is the MC Operator octo grip.
You’re good to go if you have a TRP aside from the ledge rear sight on this, or if you happen to prefer the GI guide rod as a standard feature (TRP can install that after market pretty easy) . A lot of Springers are discontinued it seems. This fits the bill between the Garrison and Trp for price point which is pretty smart I feel. TRP ~ 1500.00, Garrison ~700.00 so at a grand for a lightrail duty gun is a great option. The Emissary seems like the real odd ball out in the lineup almost as expensive as TRP some cool aesthetics, but features aren’t really enough to set it apart, especially having the polymer trigger.

Good for you
Just got mine. Love it! My new edc.
Have one and I like it. Pretty tight and well fitted for $1,100., and the pic rails made it essential for a night stand pistol.
Iam watching with headphones, that I'm running thru an amplifier.
The noise that thing makes! Sweet.👌
Thanks for this video and information.
What’s up dude I didn’t know you had another channel, cool just subbed. Nice piece!!! 👍

No front serrations which IMO is super important, no enlarged mag well also super important but a nice 1911 regardless!

Why couldn’t Springfield have just checkered the front strap????? I would’ve paid extra for it
What do you think about adding some grip tape to the front?
Fucking love my operator and marine corps edition pistols. Fantastically accurate and robust. 1911s rock. Especially Springfields.
Is this better than the emissary? And I don’t know the difference between the different operator models
Man I’ve been looking at both the operator and Marine corps … I’ve been leaning towards the Marine one but it’s hard to find
@@Jrh-rp7np I bought the MC. It’s like art
@@Jrh-rp7np I’ll find you one later today
@@Jrh-rp7np kygunco has it for less than 12. I paid almost 14 for mine. Go check them out
I’m getting one . I was in the fence about but if mike finds it handy I’m getting a one .
I have the lightweight operator version. Just has an aluminum frame. Lighter for carry
Struggling to find a left handed retention holster for this superb 1911 .
Right there with you bro.
#wronghandedproblems 😂
Lots of failures to feed on mine right from the box...similar with my Garrison

"An Operator...."
It predates the system.
By some miracle, it was never recycled. It's getting tough these days, finding decent guns that aren't controlled.

🇺🇸 nice pistol. I wonder what holster you’re using?
I don’t know Springfield. Would it kill you to checker the front strap and charge us an extra $75? Maybe it’s just me.

@@boostedbavarian Some guys use skateboard tape with either side underneath the grips.
Did they discontinue their LB OPERATOR and the MC OPERATOR with octo grip? I cant find them on their website..
I had to sand and polish the feed ramp on mine just to get it to chamber hp. but after that it chambered the same ammo just fine.
Just missing a magwell
I just got one and I can't find a holster for it that also supports my valkyrie pl pro any one know a holster that fits both?

@TheRancor53 wish you could find these for $1k out the door.
❤❤❤
I want one really bad.. But I've never owned a 1911 . i heard these don't have internal safety so they can fire if dropped??
where'd you hear that? Its got a grip safety and the thumb safety.
How much the prize of this pistol
Can it handle jhp
OP does not answer any questions. Important things I need to know before purchasing.
