Otherwise, except for the barrel length, they are identical.
Both feature Posi-Lock checkered black G-10 grip panels, front strap, and main spring housing.
The left side grip panel is inletted for the thumb of a right-handed shooter.
The TRP RMR leaves the Springfield factory with a mounted Trijicon RMR, backed up by serrated Trijicon suppressor-height night sights. Serrated controls provided positive operation.
Our evaluation pistol was the 6 inch barreled model.
Despite out numbering the bad guys 4-to-1, the agents found themselves pinned down by suppressive rifle fire.
Two agents were killed and five were wounded, but they eventually killed both suspects.

Now discontinued, the DA/SA 1076 was offered only in 10mm.
The 10mm cartridge is capable of generating 750 ft. lbs.
of muzzle energy in a Glock 20 with a 4.61 inch barrel call it 800 ft. lbs.
Hiding within the lengthened slide is a 6 inch stainless steel match-grade bull barrel. Between the lengthened slide, barrel andforged steel framewith a proportionately-lengthened solid dust cover, the TRP Long Slide RMR tips the scales at a hefty 50 oz.
out of a 6 inch barreled pistol roughly twice the muzzle energy of a 5 inch barreled .45 ACP.
A better sighting combination for a hunting or defensive pistol there is not.
Trigger pull weight averaged 4.5 lbs.
The TRP’s front strap and mainspring housing are treated Springfield’s very effective Posi-Lock checkering, and the G10 grip panels a similar ball pattern. An enlarged magwell speeds reloads and follows the contour of the grip panels for minimal bulk. The pistol ships with two stainless steel8-round magazines.
on our Lyman digital trigger pull gauge, with a barely perceptible bit of creep before the break.
Neither model has a Picatinny rail section machined into the dust cover.
Weve used them all, and the RMR in its various iterations is our hands-down favorite for slide-ride use.
Even with the hottest 10mm load we had on hand — Federal’s 180-gr JSP Vital-Shok — muzzle rise and felt recoil were comparatively tame out of the big TRP.
Our first impression of the 6 inch TRP 10mm RMR was, Man, this a big gun.
The 5 inch version shaves 6 oz.
off the weight and 1 inch off the length, but maintains the same 6.4 inch height.
This particular same Federal load never ceases to amaze us from the bench. Shot through the TRP, it gave us our tightest 25 yard, 5 shot group during testing, measuring 1.16 inchescenter-to-center.
Our second impression was, Wow, this is one serious looking piece.
All of the aforementioned attributes combine to make the TRP 10mm RMR one hell of a good looker.
The pistol fit my average-size paws like it grew there.
For a heavy, 50 oz. pistol like the TRP, the new Black Point Tactical Outback chest holster is a godsend. Not only does it get the weight off of your hip for extended hiking, it keeps the gun more protected from trail debris, slip ‘n falls, and deep-water crossings.
This is where weight becomes an advantage.
From the 25 yard line we narrowed our downrange-precision testing down to three hunting loads; Federals 180-gr.
Trophy Bonded JSP Vital-Shok, Doubletaps DT Hunter 200-gr, Controlled Expansion JHP, and Hornadys Custom 180-gr.
We have no reservations about this pistols ability to place accurate shots at 50 yards and beyond.
