Does anyone know of anywhere in the dfw and east area that has or might have the Springfield Operator? Looking to get the standard operator, not the green one.

Cowboy guns in New Boston has one. Pretty sure it is not green. They also have a stainless trp. 903 314 8164.

You might need to check the guns hows. Larger vendors usually have them at the shows

I would call Wiley's gun shop Tuesday morning. I don't know if they have one but they usually have a very large selection. They have always been very helpful on the phone. I've called several times and ask the short direct question of "do you have a XXXX" and they've always took the time to answer. Usually they have and usually I drive out there and buy it since their prices are pretty competitive.

They are west of canton and south of wills point.

I will give both of them a call this week. Had a bad experience with Wiley's years ago, treated me like crap when I had an issue with something I bought there, but I can give them a second chance.

They used to treat their customers like crap. They are not under new management but there has been some serious changes as far as customer service.

I lied, looked at it today and is a green framed one.

Haha, thanks Jab. I called, they have the MC and TRP. If I can't find the exact one I want I may have to make the drive.

Good folks to deal with. I been a customer for about 15 years. I had the trp and it was great. I also have the trp operator, and it is awesome.
