This Springfield Armory® TRP™ 1911 .45 acp is a limited edition firearm produced in honor of the "American Sniper" Chris Kyle. Only 1000 of these will be made.
Here is more information directly from Springfield's website on this limited edition firearm:
While in combat, Chris chose the Springfield Armory® TRP™ for its reliable performance and toughness. In his best-selling book, American Sniper, he credits the TRP™ with saving his life.
"In 2004, I bought a Springfield TRP™ Operator®, which used a .45 caliber round. It had a 1911 body style, with custom grips and a rail system that let me add a light and laser combo. Black, it had a bull barrel and was an excellent gun - until it took a frag for me in Fallajuh. I was actually able to get it repaired -those Springfields are tough."
The Legend Series pistols feature five-inch stainless steel match grade barrels, low-profile three-dot Tritium combat sights, and black and gray G10 grips with an attractive American flag engraving.
The slides are forged carbon steel with Black Nitride treatment for durability and corrosion resistance. A National Match full-length guide rod rounds out the 8.6-inch long government model 1911. Each pistol ships with one seven-round stainless steel magazine with slam pad.
This package includes:
- A serialized 1 of 1,000 1911 TRP™
- A presentation case included with the pistol
- A Chris Kyle FROG Foundation commemorative coin
- A copy of American Sniper autographed by Taya Kyle
