Very nice trade Rob, I've got the same model. It has a great trigger, accurate, runs well, a solid 1911. The only thing I did was change out the plastic grips for some Altamont wooden fingergroove grips. One bit of advice, don't keep your thumb too high with your grip or that hammer will give you a good bite. I only had to learn that lesson one time to not do it again lol. Anyway take care and God bless.
Yeah that's a problem I run into. That's partially why I let the tanker go. And picked up the tank commander. I got a lot of hammer bite from that gun. Hopefully I can just readjust my grip like you suggested and that will help me out. If not I'll put a commander hammer on it lol
Well this makes my second Tisas 1911 and I also have the PX9 Gen 3 which is an amazing gun. They make some quality stuff. Thanks for watching I appreciate it
You did well on that trade Rob. Hammer bite was the reason the former owner ponied up all of that trade stock and for the like new condition of the Service model.
Just a suggestion but try disassembling the the opposite way you did. Push the guide rod in first and turning the barrel bushing counter clockwise releasing spring pressure. Then operate your slide in position, then remove the slide stop. It will be much easier to.
@@HamiltonOutdoorsi just got one and yesterday mine jammed and the slide is really hard to pull back sometimes then at other times really loose but first 1911 so not sure if normal I looked all around online but no info on that
You made a Awesome trade, my friend. Great looking 1911. I have always had good service. Out of those little 1911 i’ll be watching for the video on that one out at your range 👍👍👍👍
Well I had checked it before I traded and after I traded and. And I've never loaded it so I was pretty sure it was unloaded but you know never hurts to check again. Thanks for watching I appreciate it
I bought the Turkish made TISAS 1911a1 45ACP”US Army” which is best USGI reproduction for “as issued” 1911A1. It’s CHF barrel can’t beat forged Frame and slide and zero malfunctions. It’s 4.5 lbs trigger makes it my choice over my SA “Mil-Spec” 1911A1, at 25 yards as my match pistol.
Nice! I have one of those on my wish list! I got to shoot my cousins tisas 1911 duty 5" 9mm yesterday and I am still amazed with the trigger! I said "woops-dang" about 3 times it surprised me with how good the trigger is. I want a 45 but after shooting that 9mm version I may want that first lol! Thanks for sharing and have a good one!
They are making some awesome guns. Definitely one worth picking up. But if I were buying one and not trading for it I would get the service special. Has a commander hammer and a little better sites. And it's the same money.
You got a good trade. Those GI sights are ok with good eyes but tough on bifocal impaired people. 👓 Apreciate you helping out our companies in TN. 😂 SDS Imports / Tisas USA has some good products. That 45 should ring some steel. 👊💥
I intend to replace the sear spring to, hopefully, improve the trigger pull, the main spring to lighten the work of cocking the slide, and a recoil spring just because. After about 50 rounds (more tomorrow) it is beginning to slick up. Very well made pistol I haven't gotten to the mechanical works but they should be good At this price a few bucks to improve the handling is not unreasonable.
@usualsuspect5173 I think that pin on the bushing wrench is for the hammer spring housing pin. I never heard of using a pin to push out the slide stop. That spring deal on reassembly was unique.
Nice but I'll give you a little tip.....put your slide on and pin in then push in plunger and rotate bushing. Much easier thay way and less danger of the infamous takedown pin scratch
Yes I have used about every method there is to disassemble a 1911. And you're right putting that pin in before you put pressure on the gun with the spring definitely saved you from making the dummy scratch on your 1911
Tisas is killing it! I just got the US 1911A1 GI model and it’s awesome! Wilson combat 47D mags feeds HST which is awesome because in 45 those HST are all I trust hollow point wise! I’m glad I got this gun for under 400$ because they’re going to go up! I believe mine is the newer model because it doesn’t say army on the slide 🤷🏼♂️ mine says US 1911A1 and the ZIG marking is under the frame instead of on the side of slide
I like the GI model as well I just have a hard time seeing those little sights. Just wish they would put the sites from the service special on this gun. They're just a little bit taller
That's a thought for those blessed be able to drop $1K to $2K for a 1911. Pray God they never need it for self defense but if they do that 1911 is going to the evidence locker and they might not get it back. I have a Tisas Service Special on my hip as I write this. I put wood double diamond grips on it because that is a personal preference. I want to get there M1911A1 US Army model because many reviews that are vets who carried the 1911 say it is 99% accurate. Modern 1911's are all made with the wider ejection port, even more than the expansion from the 1911 to the 1911A1. So no new production replica is going to be exactly like the original was. I have contacted them and said that since they already make 2 of the original 1911 parts, the flat main spring and housing, they should make a replica M1911. I also want to get there M45A1 clone because it has gotten many good review as well.
Hope they are a good company and take care of you. Because that's what really makes the company is their customer service. And how they take care of the product after you buy it
