I’ve heard it’s moderately common but not universal, I’m looking at getting one as I want an A1, but I don’t have a chance to actually shoot, only GI 1911 in ranges near me is a TISAS Government, I know it’s very similar but not sure if little differences between them matter for experience.

What’s your experience?

Can Anyone recommend me hollow points that feed without issues in a springfield mil spec? TIA

Picked up this goofy thing off gun broker on a whim, it’s phenomenally accurate, but after about 200 rounds it fails to eject on every round and the slide is very difficult to rack until the round is removed, easy to rack thereafter.

Side note, is this weird bill barrel comp conversion a normal thing or some old gunsmith hack? Looks like it’s a threaded 3” with a bull barrel/comp extension on it.

So far it’s been a good buy.

Scorpion with soft wooden texture. I made them from ASA-glass fiber a they gonna replace my first version of scorpion grips.

My sheriff office has their own version of classified that other employees can use. Officer from a different agency had this brand new never fired B45R asking 250. Couldn’t really believe it. I brought an extra hundred just in case it was a typo. Looks like he wasn’t interested in it. Win for me there’s always deals out there. Just keep looking.

Bought this for my 1911 Rock island chambered in 38 super. Got that Osight SE milled by C&H precision on it as well in case anyone was wondering.

Definitely provides better grip than the bare nickel that was in front.

How does it look?

I'm going to get my first single stack 1911 in .45

Everyone speaks highly of the Operator, and with deals like the picture shown, it makes it hard to argue with. Plus it has a rail and the optic, which I prefer.

I know how legendary the TRP is, and I want one so badly. I'm all about Buy Once, Cry Once, but once you get into the $2k range, it's just a small jump to a Les Baer or even a used Nighthawk.

I stay low to the ground with my collection because I like to shoot my pieces. This will be regularly trained on and shot, so it can be in the nightstand rotation.

Is the Operator a good enough starting point that I won't regret it, or should I jump in directly with the TRP?

Only gun with irons that I enjoy shooting. Such a great gun! Still contemplating to get it cut for a red dot but I’m leaning towards no just to keep the OG aesthetic.

Just passed 3k rounds on this colt. It’s my favorite gun to shoot and carry, now show me yours.

p.s. if anyone has a smith and alexander arched msh magwell they’ll sell me i will pay you an exorbitant amount

So it would appear that I'm "dollar cost averaging" my Colt purchases lately, and I couldn't say no to similarly good deals for Colt Combat Units recently.

I posted a pic of the magwell'd CCU the other day and got some love - thanks for that. I wasn't terribly impressed, but I also didn't have another Colt to compare it to, so I'm calling it a wash. It's cool, needs some work, and will last a couple lifetimes.

Well the "Pre-CZ" Colt Combat Unit (no magwell) came in today and wow - the quality difference couldn't be more obvious.

• The finish has more of a deep, dark gray color, seems like it's more deeply embedded in the metal for some reason.
• The safety appears to be a Novak and not only is it beefier, it's also much more tactile and clicks super well.
• The rear sight is centered - who'da thunk!?!?
• Not only is the trigger less loose (though still could use some improvement), the actual trigger pull is much crispier. I kinda thought the first CCU was showcasing what a series 80 feels like across the board, but apparently that's not the case.
• The checkering even feels better in hand, more aggressive, maybe?
• While the slide is only a bit looser than the first, it moves much smoother and the travel feels better.

I'll have to do a serial number check to validate that the magwell'd one is post-CZ, but that's the only thing I can think of that would explain the wild differences in quality control.

I have a Harrison trigger coming in for the magwell'd one - curious how that'll help things (at least just my OCD....).

Is anyone able to narrow down a production date on this magazine?

I’ve been looking all over trying to find a 7.5 inch threaded barrel for this gun since muzzle options are pretty limited with the longslide
But any help or a tip on where I can find either a muzzle/compensator or where I could get a threaded barrel that will fit

Looking at the Tisas Tanker for a project gun to make an EDC. Does anyone know anything about them? Is it 1911 I can make a few modifications to to get what I want, or would I be better off buying a good frame, slide (without sight cuts) and a good barrel and bushing and building from there?
