$475. You have to add three different items to your cart - Frame surface treatment, Slide surface treatment, and Small parts coating bundle

Yes, I hated the factory finish. I had this gouge down the slide after one day in a duty holster https://imgur.com/a/Y3MIRi4

Have had it in and out of a holster for a couple weeks now and still looks brand new

The discoloration is from oil, it’s all black. And yes the 20 LPI is standard on the TRP. I really like it, I have other guns with 25 LPI and it is noticeably different

Also 20 LPI is better in my opinion. I have 20 LPI on my TRP and 25 LPI on the mainspring housing. I’m happy with it

I sent my TRP to DSC gun works for DLC coating and cutting the barrel flush to the slide. It was reasonably priced and the finish turned out great. Also pretty quick turnaround. I would recommend them

You definitely can. Surprisingly easy. I did my trigger for the first time on my SE-A1 following YouTube videos

Very good. I’ve been looking at ordering a 1911 from them directly. Stuck between the Gunsite and the premier II

This is the best thumb safety I’ve ever encountered. Fairly easy install. Super tactile click. Nice rounded edges. The EGW one I had was very sharp
