I've never owned a Springfield but I seem to like the Loaded Operator alot. I think the model is PX9105L. Handled real nice from several times I got to check it out at the local shop. Front strap doesn't have the extreme checkering like the TRP Operator, which imho feels better for me.
Some shops sell it with the M3 light and some don't have the M3 light but cheaper by $75.
I wonder how abrasive the light rail raised-notches under the dust cover will be on a holster when used in competition. Although, I only for that Blade-Tech as a holster for it.
Gotta save up for one.
