Uncle Webkins sends us a photo of his favorite pistol …

More from me. Back in the heyday of Springfield Armory, before there was the TRP Operator, before there was the Loaded Operator, there was the one without front cocking serrations… the Mil-Spec Operator (PB9105L). Nothing but style. And after a little tuning, it’s the crown jewel of my entire hoard.

Thanks Unc`
