Springfield Armory 1911 TRP Operator Chris Kyle Limited Edition 45ACP 5" Barrel 7+1

Springfield Armory 1911 TRP Operator Legend Series Chris Kyle LTD Edition .45 ACP Pistol

Springfield Armory designed a very unique 1911 TRP pistol, the Legend Series, with a carefully chosen set of features that model some of the same attributes Chris Kyle insisted on for his personal pistol. It features a five-inch stainless steel match grade barrel, low-profile three-dot Tritium combat sights, and black and gray G10 grips with an attractive American flag engraving. The frame and slide is constructed from a 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. This pistol ships with one seven-round stainless steel magazine with slam pad, a commemorative mahogany display case, pure silver Chris Kyle limited edition challenge coin, Springfield Armory certificate of authenticity, and a copy of Chris’s book, American Sniper, personally autographed by Taya Kyle.

In partnership with the Chris Kyle Foundation and the Kyle family, Springfield Armory® has introduced the Limited Edition Chris Kyle TRP™ Operator® as a part of the Legend Series of pistols.

A portion of the sales proceeds will provide direct support to the Chris Kyle FROG Foundation.

Why the TRP™?

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.”
