I had two TRS's. One was a basic blued CA-certified model with the hideous front cocking serrations. Springfield Custom did a smoother carry bevel on it, installed Heine Slant Pros, recrowned the barrel, straightened the lines and feed ramp, and refinished in Black-T.
The other was a custom order hard chrome with no front cocking serrations that I pulled some strings to get into CA from Les Baer.
Both were great guns. Well finished, accurate, 100% reliable. I only sold them, like the CQB and the Ed Brown Kobra Carry, because I prefer to spec my own custom 1911's. I'm really picky about features I want, and how I want them done.
Aside from the horrible KZ45, all my 1911's have been 100% reliable with any ammo. I carried a custom Colt Defender that was flawless as well, even in the much-maligned Officer's size.
My TRS's were on par with anything else and I'd recommend them to anyone looking for a semicustom 1911 at a reasonable price. They have a great reputation and I think you got a lemon, unfortunately. It happens.
