So I traded my buddy for a STI Staccato 2011 last year with the knowledge that he could have it back if he wanted it. Turns out he really missed the gun and wanted it back. We met up today and he gave me this NIB TRP Operator 10mm and a NIB Beretta 92X Performance 9mm for the Staccato. I hope to run them in a few days.
This Berreta is one heavy beast. I swear it weighs more than the 1911. .

I think your trading buddy is just looking out for you... . Ida sent that STI down the road in a nano second for that trade. Awsome Beretta sir and a 10mm ta boot. My bad Navy, didn't see you had to trade in your horse too..

I see that you have completed the steal of the century. Your negotiation skills are complete. Indeed, you are powerful as the trade gods have foretold.
My memory's much fuzzier these days but I do think that you may have been immortalized in some movie...or some such . The Beretta's a blast to shoot. And I'm sure that the TRP is a fine gun even though I unceasingly whine in disgust over the political shenanigans of its maker.

Negotiated trade level=EXPERT! Very nice guns indeed great lookers for sure. Do you already have something in 10mm and have a ammo stash? If not going to be expensive to shoot and build up a inventory at least for the foreseeable future.
I've been wanting a lot of things, a 10mm and something in 5.7 like the FN or Ruger but availability and price of ammo has prevented diving into either one.

I load for everything I shoot and have a nice supply of primers, bullets, and powder for 10mm.

I put about 500 rds through it. I had a STI DVC and a 3" STI 9mm. They are good guns, but a little wide for my hands. The Stacctto P Duo with Trijicon RMR is one of the most accurate guns I have ever shot.
