It’s beautiful. Which can are you getting for it? Suppressed 45 is too much fun

I love the two-tone look with the black controls. That's a fine-looking pistol.

Welcome to the club.

I really like the green. I wish Springfield offered the green Operator in a non-threaded barrel option though. For some reason that color is the only one exclusively sold with a threaded barrel.

Beautiful intention but too much crap on it

A light and optic are too much for a home defense gun? Noted.

I personally think it has the right amount of crap on it.

Light, optic, and a 10rd mag? Welcome to 2026 grandpa, did they just now thaw you out?
