Love the TRP. Shot a custom OD/Black one at my local range a year ago and fell in love with it. Wasn't for sale though even though I made some very stupid offers on it.

Gorgeous guns everyone! I am up for renewal in a week on my CCW. I am up in the air if I should use my EB or my Nighthawk for the pistol competency class. I usually carry the EB and shoot it a lot more but the 'hawk is almost identical in feel and I would like some more time behind it.
The revolver part I kind of locked myself into shooting my Raging Bull as I have to shoot the same caliber that I originally qualified with. My hand is going to kill me after unloading a few dozen 454 rounds.

I went shooting today to see which gun I wanted to use for my ccw requalification this week. The Ed Brown is my normal carry gun, and I use Wilson Combat 8 round magazines with the low-profile metal base pads for my in-gun and spares. There is an assortment of other magazines I brought to try. Nighthawk, Brown, Wilson, and Kimber. At least two different types of magazines from each manufacturer. Ammunition was 230 grain Winchester White Box for the bulk of shooting, not shown in these photos. The rest of the ammunition was 230 grain Speer (850fps) and 230 grain Double Tap with Speer bullets (1014fps).
This is 30 yards out of the Nighthawk without taking time to concentrate each shot placement.
This is 30 yards out of the Brown after a quick draw from my IWB holster quick sighting, dumping the magazine and then swapping to my spare magazine and doing the same.
This last photo is of a 50 yard target shot with a Double Tap jacketed flat point 230 grain (1010fps) round. I really concentrated on it and had a lot of luck. 1.5" target

Awesome - I love the 1.5" target down low - I wish all the papers had these (some have similar which I've seen). 
So I pulled the trigger (pun intended) on a special Kimber 1911 this weekend; unfortunately you won't see pictures until mid/late December as it's got a bit of processing to go through first (and there's a 30-day conflict running already from my S&W).
