GENESEO, ILL. – Based on the Springfield Armory® Professional 1911 employed by the FBI’s Hostage Rescue Team, the TRP™ family of pistols has now been expanded to include eight new models featuring not only the Agency Optic System (AOS), but also — and for the first time ever — 9mm variants.
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. With these eight new models, shooters have an optics-ready take on a proven classic, as well as a new chambering option.
Each pistol begins with a forged frame and slide for strength and durability. For enhanced precision, each pair is hand-selected for slide-to-frame fit and numbered to marry them with their matching components throughout the build process. All barrels are match-grade and made from forged stainless steel. The result is a premium fit, with refined blending and rock-solid performance.
Providing an additional touch of custom detail, all TRP pistols feature finely cut sighting plane serrations along the top of the slide. This offers the shooter an enhanced sight picture and maximum light diffusion with the tritium front dot sighting system. In addition, VZ Grips® Hydra™ series G-10 grips and 20 lines per inch (LPI) checkering on the frames provide an enhanced grip.
Developed in collaboration with Agency Arms, the AOS optics-mounting system of these TRP pistols employs a series of plates that accommodate a wide range of the industry’s most popular red dot sights. This flexibility allows shooters to configure their handguns according to their unique preferences for optimal performance. Each plate features an integrated black serrated rear sight unit. Each pistol comes with a cover plate, and the customer receives a coupon to purchase the AOS plate of their choice at a discounted $49 price.
The eight models are offered in two primary configurations. One is a full-size 5” light rail variant featuring forged all-steel construction, a Cerakote® finish in either black or Coyote Brown, and chambered in .45 ACP or 9mm. The other is a lightweight 4.25” Carry Contour (CC) model featuring a lightweight forged aluminum frame, Cerakote® finish in either black or Coyote Brown, and also chambered in .45 ACP or 9mm.
“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 optics-ready TRP AOS variants and the first TRP pistols in 9mm ever, Springfield Armory is taking a proven classic in an exciting new direction.”
Whatever model you select, each TRP AOS is built to the same exacting standards with a keen focus on premium quality and reliability. MSRP for all AOS variants is $1,999.
