im interested in the dust cover he has on his, anyone know where you could buy one? his apparently was custom made.

i cannot seem to find this dust cover:


the one on the far right, does anyone know where i could get one?

[Lycanthrope]

I think that's an older Springfield Loaded Operator.....and I think that they no longer make one with a full length dustcover.

STI does, though........

You sure you wanna add custom parts to a Mil SPec? By the time you have a smith do it, you could have had a Loaded model........

Personally, I think a good beavertail and decent sites are a MUST on a 1911.

My friend has the one on the far right.
It is a TRP Operator with full length rail. He ordered it from the Springfield Custom Shop.
I am looking to get the TRP Operator with the half rail, similar to the one next to it.

OR...
It could even be an older mil-spec operator. Springfield used to make every model available as an "operator". They no longer make these, but they were simply a mil-spec model with a full length rail.

If you find one, grab it and don't let anyone touch it I think they stopped making these in the early 2000's (2003 or 2005, I can't remember).

But they do exist and can usually be had for around 600-800 even though they are pretty rare. The problem is just finding one.

They make some of the best looking 1911's you'll ever see.
Just make sure you get a single stack, they make double stacks also called
Instead of 1911 they are....2011

Sorry, I didn't mean to say that the gun in the picture is a TRP, but that my friend's is a TRP Operator with full length rail.. They look identical, but his has a bull barrel.

I believe most models can be ordered from Springfields Custom shop as an operator with full length rail...

[QuakertownRich]

The rail makes it look gaudy, IMO. Why does everything have to be "pimped up"?

That's correct, and that model has been discontinued in lieu of the current MC Operator, LW Operator, and LW Champion Operator. The only way to get a Springfield Operator or TRP Operator with a full-length rail is to either order one from the Custom Shop or find a used one online. There were a few on Gunbroker not too long ago, but the only one I'm seeing now is here:
