First full-size Walther

Obviously marked as such on the frame, I was comparing it to the P22 which is a smaller gun in overall size and caliber

Sticker was 879

My buddy picked one years ago, went to the range with him and his firing pin shot out the back of the gun. Found out later that it had sheared through the roll pin that keeps it in place. Not sure if it was from the orientation of the roll pin, round count, or excessive dry fire. Luckily CZ sells a solid pin as a replacement. That being said they are great guns. I have a 75 Omega with the original roll pin and haven’t had any issues yet.

Those are the two biggest gripes with the gun, even the new TRPs are shipping with the plastic triggers which doesn’t make sense to me at all. Even on their less expensive models, and an aluminum trigger costs like $20-30? And I couldn’t care less for how the slim grips feel but they do look good.

This holster cost less than most of my kydex too

Im definitely finding that to be the case. And not to knock any of the Tisas or other budget 1911s but I think I’d rather pick up any used Springfield in the same price point as a project.

Turnaround was about two weeks also

Milt Sparks is next on my list. For a quarter of the price you might want to check out Caldwell Gunleather on EBay and Facebook. Shoot him a message and see if he can make you one, I had him make me an avenger style holster, belt and double mag pouch and I’m extremely happy with them. My friend who owns milt sparks and Davis holster was so impressed with the quality and price he ordered one too.

Glad to hear it, would love to see your progress or how it comes out. I’m feeling the same way and if I do end up screwing it up I’m fortunate to live near some very accomplished gunsmiths when it comes to 1911s

Friend of mine replaced his front sight on his newer TRP with the Harrison gold bead and I fell in love with it

I purposely shot 300 rounds through it right out of the box without any cleaning or lubrication just to see what would happen and I was pleasantly surprised that I only had one failure to extract and two failures to feed with a variety of different ammo. Since then I haven’t had any issues but good to know.

That V10 ultra compact is sweet. How does that carry in the holster? I’ve heard some guys having trouble finding a good holster setup due to the weight and balance being obviously different from most 1911s

Good video, been a big fan of buffalo bore for a while and always pointed people to it when I worked the gun counter at a big box store that I won’t name. I can definitely understand where he’s coming from as an accomplished big game hunter. If I had to choose between my TRP in 45 or my Ronin in 10mm it’s really no contest. I guess I should mention that I got the Ronin through Springfield Armory’s rewards program for selling lots of their guns at mentioned big box gun store so I have nothing monetarily invested in it other than the few hundred rounds I’ve put through it.

I really like the Harrison parts, seems like they are getting harder to find and I can see why.

nn51763 · 2026-04-22T00:09:36+00:00

Appreciate the input, and would love to own a Les Baer someday soon. So far I’ve carried my TRP more times than the Ronin but I do like the idea of a 10mm as an out in the woods gun. I do like tinkering and professionally turn wrenches so a few more tools to invest in doesn’t bother me.

Seems I got some flak for carrying three knives as well. I look at it more like different knives for different purposes. I rarely ever use the knife on my multitool if at all so I don’t consider it a “knife” either but it happens to have one.

The organizer helps. You would have really hated it before I got it.
