[ARCHIVED THREAD] - New Loaded Operator!! (Page 1 of 2)

I can't hardly wait for this one

Quoted:
Buds had the LBO about a month ago, which will probably be the same as this one. $1250. Hopefully a larger production run will equal a lower cost. I'd be shocked to see this under 1,000, but we can all hope. I bet all the guys who bought MC Ops, and sent them to the CS to have them re-coated black are pissed 
|
| On the MC They added some sort of Checkering to the Fronstrap, The Older MC did not have any Checkering but had Pachmayr Rubber Wrap Around Grips. I would have to feel the Checkering, I have a TRP and find it a little to Agressive for Me. I have been Shooting 1911's for 30 Years and find a Non Checkered Fron Strap more Comfortable for Me Anyway. That 's why I like the Loaded Operator it appears to not be Checkered. Either Way They both Look Great! |
Interesting checkering pattern. Less checkering really and more like a "stippling" or scaling pattern. Wish I was at SHOT to feel it in my hands. Also wish I hadn't just bought an MC Op. I could have held out and gotten free VZ grips and front strap checkering.

Quoted:
If it's $1200 why would I get it over the TRP? Because a Standard TRP does not have a RAIL! If You want a Railed TRP be prepared to spend 1,600.00! And for Me I will take the Non Checkered Frontstrap over the Checkered Frontstrap on the TRP. I have a TRP and do not like the Aggresive Frontstrap Checkering on it, I have Owned 1911's for 30 Years and find the Standard Frontstrap More Comfortable in My Hands. |

Looks like a new MC Operator is coming as well. http://i890.photobucket.com/albums/ac108/SJasper84/MCOP1.jpg http://i890.photobucket.com/albums/ac108/SJasper84/MCOP2-1.jpg http://i890.photobucket.com/albums/ac108/SJasper84/MCOP3.jpg I will say the Checkering or whatever You might call it on the New MC Operator looks more Comfortable than the 20LPI Teeth My TRP Has! I would really like to see one in Person to see how it feels. Otherwise it's gonna be a Loaded Operator for Me:) |

Well so much for the Loaded Operator, I bought a as New in Box MC Operator Today for a even 1000.00 I couldn't pass it up since I could have it now rather than wait for the Loaded Operator to come out and the Demand will be a high at first, Maybe a 6 Month Wait? I will post Pictures as soon as Photobucket is up and Running again it say's They are Performing Site Maintanance

| Guh, when are these hitting market? I just want to fondle one in a gun shop and then come back and buy it a year later when I'm solvent. Same thing I did with the HK P30.. fondled it in Dec one year at a gun store, showed up like next November to get it. NEVER FORGET (a good handgun). |
| Yeah, if pricing is right, they hit a homerun with these two. I have no use for the Loaded Operator since I already have a TRP Operator, but that MC Operator would make a great suppressor host and compliment my Scorpion quite well. I'll probably try to pick one of them up. A few extra 1911s in my collection isn't a bad thing. |

TRP
MC Loaded LW From Highest to lowest price. Buds had the LB for $1250 in Dec. Assuming a larger production run, maybe get it in at the current MC's Buds price of around $1050-1100 (Their pricing models suck ass, price change daily sometimes) MC will go up a bit due to the additional machining work on the FS, figure maybe the $1250 range. TRP will most likely stay where it is at. |

Quoted:
So where do we think this falls in the price realm? Loaded Operator = or < LW Operator < MC Operator < LBO Operator < TRP Operator or...other? I still say they need a Range Operator. Long Beach Operators (Loaded Operators) sell for over $1200 on gunbroker. Of course they are limited production guns and kind of rare. I would expect a production version to sell for less. I am debating selling mine to get ahead of the curve.

I like the new operators. I sold my TRP and went back to my loaded. Hated the checkering and preferred fixed sights. Got 1650 for the TRP glad my friend stopped me from listing it at 1200.
I do wish my loaded had something on the front strap as long as it's not the cheese grater they use on the TRP. Would love a full rail in 9mm and might buy a Armscor to fill the void There is a member here with a gorgeous hard chromed full rail custom operator in 9mm. Thing is pure sex.

Yeah I almost jumped on the doublestack when they listed the combo. Very cool gun. |

I like it, though I still don't understand why Springfield doesn't offer one with a threaded barrel ? I mean really ?  I think that is a smaller market than most of us realize even though it has gotten much bigger recently. I know the Remington threaded guns didn't sell very well. I am not saying they shouldn't do it I just think it's a hard decision for them. |

I'll take the new MC and add a mag well, please and thank you. You read my mind. Here's the lead on matching magwell grips. https://vzgrips.com/gun-grips/1911/operators/operatortm-predator-green-g10 I'll also take the Loaded Operator if they ever make it in 9mm. |

Thanks for the link! I love my MC OP but after seeing those grips I've been wishing I would have waited. I'm going to have to just break down and buy those from VZ. I'll still be short the front strap checkering though

What's the MSH look like? Checkered or textured to match the front strap? How do you like the front strap texture?? |
The MSH is standard and does not match the front checkering. The front checkering is not as aggressive as it looks and feels really good in the hand. I fired 200 rounds this afternoon of WWB and it shoots like any other Springfield
I had my buddy at my LGS hold a Colt XSE commander for me yesterday and when I walked in this morning this was sitting in the glass counter. I couldn't believe he already had one. The slide/frame fit is almost too tight but didn't affect function. Needless to say my LGS still has the Colt and I have this. |

So when I get one I won't feel guilty replacing it for one with a mag well then... Thanks for the report and congrats on the new pistol! It's a beauty!! |

One thing to note though is if you get a mag-well the vZ type grips that come on the MC are not mag-well grips if that bothers you. They have a slight taper at the bottom. These should be the matching grips for those who want magwells with magwell grips. https://vzgrips.com/gun-grips/1911/operators/operatortm-predator-green-g10 ETA: Those match the pics on the Springfield website the best. These seem to match the pic you posted the best. https://vzgrips.com/gun-grips/1911/operators/operatortm-dirty-olive-g10 |
