I have a TCP in 9mm and it’s a fine 1911. Don’t have a Guardian
What I like about the TCP-
- a well made, precise, attractive 1911.
- sights work well for me. A brass bead FS with a serrated rear helps me with rapid target acquisition without any sight picture clutter
- magwell works well for my rapid reloads in my competition games, enabling 10 rd mags
- accuracy is better than I can achieve
What I dislike about the TCP-
- wish it had a GI style recoil spring to simplify disassembly. The recoil spring must be captured and while not hard, it does add some complexity
-Magazines- specifically base pads. I’ve had some difficulty with over insertion of the OEM mags when aggressively reloading in my competition games. I resolved this by getting metal base pads from Dawson Precision.
Overall I really like the TCP. I plan on using it more in my games later this season
Hope this helps
