New MC Operator

General Firearms Handguns - 1911
1

I gave my brother my MC Operator. He recently began his shooting life and was on the verge of buying , well not an MC Operator. Couldn’t let that happen so I gave him my MC.

However, my safe had this aching to replace it, as well as my gut. A couple of mentionables, the finish didn’t look as thick and I really liked that heavy baked on finish that was tuff as anything I have seen. It’s on my older TRP and my old MC OP. Also, the finish has a more Matt finish which I prefer, if it holds up like the previous, I would consider it an upgrade.

I ran about 400 rounds through it on two trips. No issues. The slide is the smoothest slide I have ever felt on a SA 1911. Still very tight. My TRP and Pro are so tight you wouldn’t think they would cycle they are so tight-but do. Which has always impressed me. But this slide frame feel is outstanding.

Trigger breaks clean at 5.5 lbs but feels like 4lbs, gotta love those 1911 triggers. It has some slight slop on reset, needs a little tuning but acceptable for a $1,200 gun. I don’t think most people would gripe, but I own a TRP :smiley:

The rear of the gun,( while looking down the sights) the frame and slide are not perfectly flush. It’s like they needed to take a couple thousands off so the rear fitting was 100% perfect flush together. Purely cosmetic and you wouldn’t notice unless you studied it beyond reason. But I still ding them on it. Because my past three were perfect. The extractor protrudes slightly too.

I bought some punisher grips that I like.

All in all, a good SA Operator win, as usual. These guns impress me for the price

Congrats, I’ve been missing my mc operator since I sold it. Only one I’ve ever regretted letting go of. I did however keep hold of my full rail mc op. that ones not going anywhere other than the custom shop one day.

Im guessing you dig those grips :smiley:

Yea I do. Ill pick up another eventually though. Unfortunately I had to sell off a few 1911’s when I got hitched :rolleyes: to include a sa lw operator, a trp, the mc operator and a kimber desert warrior. (Bah as a single sgt in quantico was awesome.) weird thing though my full rail came with wood grips that look very much like what come on the sa professional. The serial number dates it back to 03. I thought all mc op’s came with rubber wraparounds?

That is weird.

Excellent choice, I chose this model for my very first 1911 and I’m beyond happy with it. Had to use it for my avatar as well :wink:
