    Finally picked up my Springfield Long Beach Operator

    Sorry guys but I just wanted to show off my 21st bday present to myself.

    Springfield Long Beach Police Department Operator

    It's essentially an MC Operator but in black armorykote and hand fitted for the LBPD. This is one of the original guns from the initial run. Springfield made more than what the LBPD ended up buying so they were sold to Proforce law enforcement supply in Brea. While they were only available to law enforcement personnel, I was fortunate enough to find a police officer who bought one years ago to sell me his.

    Happy 21st birthday man! Enjoy your new pistol. I've always thought about getting one myself since I'm originally from Long Beach. Just a sentimental thing. Please come back and share your thoughts after ringing it out.

    The Long Beach or Loaded Black Operator is a regular catalog gun now. The Springfield SKU for yours is same as mine that I bought new last year.

    The one you have is the commercial release. Mine is an actual production run for the police department.
