Can you expound a little on this? I'm unfamiliar with 1911s



The TRP has a full length guide rod which has a hole in the plug making disassembly a bit more difficult. That's really the biggest difference.

And the other guy was mistaken. The MC Operator has a guide rod too, it's just a shorter G.I. guide rod rather than a full-size.

Touche'. I know one of the Springfield guns has a two-piece guide rod that needs a tool to disassemble. I never like needing a tool to break my gun down.

Yes the the mc operator technically has a guide rod, a GI/government type guide rod, also known as the plug, rod, and spring. When talking 1911's most folks only say full length guide rod when talking full length or two piece not GI.

So the mc had a GI setup
The trip has a full length.

Gi on right





2 piece and some can be different.
