Friend "overspent" his tax return and needs his money back on a Springfield MC Operator with 5 unknown mags. He needs 750, which is what he spent for it.

Now, I can blow my "new Glock" money on this, but I'm wondering. I've been out of the 1911 game for several years, and I don't know if there's some reason that I shouldn't do this. 

Advice?

I'd buy the shit out of an MC Operator for that price. Hell, I paid $800 for my LW Loaded.

Well, I'm committed to it. Thanks for the quick advice. We'll see how I did on this one, later on.

Some research seems to tell me that I can get my money back, no matter what.

It doesn't have the magwell but it's a great pistol.  I have 2 TRPs' that are great.  Once is stainless, the other is the TRP Operator half rail.  At that price get some decent mags and cheap ammo.  You won't go wrong.  It's not a glock for carry (inexpensive, reliable, disposable weapon for HD) but a work of art for shooting.  JMB was a genius for his time.  

Congrats

It should be very nice op. I have the loaded Operator and i would need to be homeless and living in a cardboard box before I would part with mine.

I suspect by not consulting with a certain significant other, but who am I to judge?

I would do that deal in a heartbeat.

I sold my TRP to buy an MC and haven't looked back.

Fantastic pistol.

Had one.  Only got rid of it to fund a Dan Wesson Valor.  It was a great gun and would reccomend you buy it.

Edit to add:  Mine had a great trigger, was quite accurate and ran well with a variety of magazines and ammunition.

You send a return to the IRS. If you're lucky or poor you get a refund

OK. Thanks for that. 

Not really sure if I give a fuck, but ok.

Is it the first gen with the pachmayr rubber grips or the newer model with "octo-grip" frontstrap checkering? If the first, $750 is a great price but still pretty fair.

I'm pretty happy with mine.  Only thing I don't like about it is the lock.   I plan on fixing that with a Smith and Alexander magwell.

I just spent that on a SA Loaded with a few upgrades and 4 Wilson mags.

I need one of those in my life.

I would buy one for that without question.
