I've had a TRP in A Kote for about 2 years. It's one of 5 .45acp's that I own and the one I shoot the most often. I find it to be as reliable as my friends Kimbers and I like the look better than most. Good no nonsense pistol with all the bells and whistles I wanted in a .45. I've spend way more on custom .45's that don't shoot any better. Oh yeah, the service from Springfield Armory has been great too. When I bought the TRP, it had an extraction problem which they promptly cured and paid shipping both ways. Couldn't ask for better service. Have fun shooting your new handgun.
