I got a signature from my Chief on my Form 1 and it took about a month and 2 weeks total to be approved thats even with the ATF sending back my fingerprint card for some parts I left out.
Craig that Operator TRP fell into my hands out of nowhere. I wanted a 1911 with a light rail and was going to settle with the new smith(great gun just that I wanted a SA Operator TRP) in the process of looking to get a Smith ordered I stumbled across the Operator TRP. I cant say enough good things about the Operator TRP out of the box its has everything and shoots better than I ever will be able to. Infact I have dumped all my other pistols and kept just this one.
Those are great pistols. I have fired a friend's. I think for the money, it's one of the best around. Has all of the features I want, except I don't like front slide serrations (but I could live with them ).
