I am thinking about getting a Springfield TRP but they have front cocking serrations, which I dont like. can these be filled in by a smith? or am I SOL?

For the money it will cost to do i would pick up the PRO its a nicer gun better parts semi production with no front serrations.I have owned two you will like it better than the TRP.

I sold an early stainless TRP W/O front serrations last year. I was told (by SA) that the early guns did not have them. Shop the web. I found that one on gunbroker for about $750. The only bad thing is it did had the FI Brazil markings.

I cant afford the pro, its a 2000 dollar gun, while the TRP im looking it is going to be about 800 NIB (i work for an gun shop and get one employee purchase of a 1911 from SF a year) So how much is it to have the cocking serrations filled, and then armor koted?

I've never seen them filled in, however it is pretty common to have them milled off entirely, which makes the front of the gun look sort of like a BHP. Maybe a $100 job?

Polymer finishes by themselves typically cost $200+.

looks like I might just have to live with front cocking serrations then.
