The Springfield Armory TRP has decades of use behind it in both law enforcement and civilian arenas while being chambered in the classic 1911 cartridge of 45 Auto. For many years, shooters have clamored for not only the more affordable and significantly more popular 9mm round, but they’ve also wanted to add their favorite optics into the mix. Now, with what Springfield is announcing today, you can have both! The new TRP (Tactical Response Pistol) AOS (Agency Optic System) handguns are chambered for 9mm with factory optic cuts.
