Most of what I'm reading says "tough, Parkerized matte coating".
We brought back a shit ton of knives from the PI to Okinawa. Everyone wanted a balisong, or a boot knife, or, whatever, and you had your choice of about a thousand different offerings, 'cause the Phillipinos love them some knives. They all had one thing in common, they rusted badly in less than two months. Okinawa is semi-tropical (seriously), and that may have been a contributing factor. Not saying these pistols will, at all, but if I were buying I'd be rubbing it down with Mobil 1 (or your choice of anti-corrosion agent) every so often just until that coating proves out. |

I bought a Springfield Garrison in 9mm last week. It has become my favorite shooter. A little on the heavy side but that accounts for the light recoil. I'll probably need a battle belt if I want to carry it.

I bought the .45 GI model for $299.
I’ve always wanted an old school 1911 to play around with. I grew up to my grandfathers WW2 stories in which the 1911 was often mentioned. Hell even if it doesn’t work worth a damn, it’ll be a cool paperweight. Thanks for the lead. |

View Quote I have both the Tisas Duty (5") and Carry (4.25"). I just got the Armscor/Taylor 10mm 5". I also have a POS mid080s AutoOrdnance. The less said about that one the better. Finish on the Tisas is better. The Taylor rattles a little more when shaken. The Taylor has a beefier, better looking thumb safety. Grip safety on the Tisas is better; more solid and better memory bump. Taylor has a fiber optic sight. I haven't been able to confirm the sight dovetails on the Tisas guns, so I don't know if I can put a FO sight on. Taylor has a decent adjustable sight, Tisas has a nice metal rear sight that is drift adjustable. I dislike the Taylor's bushingless take-down; the Tisas is pure 1911. |

Mine does not have a fiber optic sight, which I'm actually okay with. Nor are the sights adjustable, except for being drift adjustable - they're just larger and give a better sight picture than actual G.I. sights. They're well-regulated, pretty much dead on. Mine also DOES have a bushing, it's just that the plug is open so the FLGR will pass through it. Takedown is typical of any other 1911. My only gripe about it is that the thumb safety is a wee bit mushy. That would bother me a bit if I was planning on making this my full-time CCW, being that it's an ambidextrous safety, and might be prone to being swept off in the normal course of the days events. |

If these are like the standard RIA's, then the slide does not accept standard Novak sights. It's not a huge deal, but get the sights you want when you get the gun. A good gunsmith can modify Novak pattern sights to fit, but your options are limited on sights that will install without custom fitting.

Gunbroker buy, so I'll have to wait a week or so for it to show up.
I went with the TISAS gun. https://www.tisasusa.com/product-p/1911a1tc.htm Price seems very appealing in these trying times. Moreover, I ordered the NINE MILLIMETER "Commander" version. Nice looking wood grips and a "cerakote" type finish that seems to look a lot like the old-school parkerized finish. No billboard lawyer-fuck bullshit on it. My understanding is that TISAS is a Turkish company, and the gun is imported by SDS imports. But all the pics I'm seeking show simply "Knoxville TN," and don't mention anything about Turkey. Other markings are minimalist and not stupid. I like the "ring" hammer too. I already know I won't be able to see the sights worth shit. And I'll probably print shots low left like I do with most other pistols. At least that's where the shots go when I USE the sights. This configuration seems like a "use-of-sights-optional" kind of thing. I'll be mostly just pointing. And yes, I am well-aware of two threads reporting that 9mm Commander owners are having problems with the fucker throwing brass back in their face. WHICH IS THE REASON WHY I GOT RID OF EVERY OTHER 1911 I EVER OWNED - WHICH WERE SEVERAL. They all did it. Brass-To-The-Face. Stoney is dealing with a Franken-1911 in 9mm https://falfiles.com/threads/how-to-stop-a-9mm-commander-keeps-hitting-me-on-the-head.482763 Powderdriver is dealing with a COLT in 9mm https://www.ar15.com/forums/handguns/Commander-pegging-me-in-the-head-with-brass/49-206736 Just what I need. ANOTHER 9mm. And a low-capacity one at that. But I refuse to get back into 45 ACP or any other "blow your lungs out" calibers that I'm not already deeply into. Maybe Pro-Mag sells a 30-round extendo-mag for Colt-pattern 9mm. I've never had a 9mm 1911. Maybe I'll get lucky this time. I considered just biting the bullet and getting the full-size 45 ACP version. To be more "manly." Then I remembered how ridiculously heavy and bulky the full size 1911's were. Zero chance that I'll ever CCW a full-size 1911 in 45 ACP. I'm sure this "smaller" 1911 will still be heavier than a full-size Glock. Probably bigger too. I've got a supply of 9mm ammo. Really can't afford to buy a whole bunch of 45 ACP ammo for an impulse buy. And STORAGE of ammo. My situation is getting a little bit silly on amount of ammo stored. Rookie numbers I'm sure by some standards. But way more than the average gun-goof has. I'm not supposed to buy any more guns. Don't tell my wife. Hoping I don't have to explain crescent-shaped gashes on my face. Again. I really like the IDEA of the 1911-pattern gun for the nostalgia of it mainly I guess. And 9 rounds of Hydra-Shoks should be effective if it became necessary to test the mettle of the thing. Takes standard 9mm 1911-pattern mags they say. And holsters. I'm not supposed to buy any more holsters either. Attached File |

My Armscor 1911 is the full size (5") version. in the 230 rounds I fired, I didn't have any brass hitting me anywhere. It all ejected to the right, as it was supposed to do. Either way, congratulations. You made a good choice.
