Has anybody seen one of these? Seems like a great setup.

The MAC dealer locator lists a couple places local-ish to me. I might be curious enough to go see if it's available. But then if there's one available, and it's nice........dammut.
I'm a big fan of the Tisas Service special I bought last year. I got one of the $300 parked blems from Centerfire Systems. The blem was is light spot in the park about the size of a dime, just ahead of the ejection port. It is nearly criminal to pay only $300 dollars for that gun. I've read the hit-n-miss reviews, but I got a super sweet one. I can only imagine how it would act if it were to get a massage from a good 1911 house. Let's say this gun is on-par with my Tisa GI, it's main competitor would be what? Something from Springfield's Loaded or TRP lines? At half the price..... |

Yeah, I don't know how much fortitude ill have resisting these if they are good to go. I have been thinking of grabbing a couple of different Tisas, a 9mm 5" Duty and a .45 Raider, but now I'm thinking I might have to find one of these instead. >The qpq finish is very classy, Cerakote is practical, but the metal treatment seems a lot nicer. >Crowned stainless barrel >Brass bead and Bomar rear >Textured front strap >walnut grips >mag well The only thing I can see that I would have preferred would be an undercut on the trigger guard, but its not a huge deal, and it might take away from the 80s aesthetic they are going for. I don't think there is anything really in direct competition with it right now, and I need to get a few Tisas, Usually when something good is going on the imports suddenly end, and we're back to over $1500 for something like this.

Commie dictator governor was making noises about 10 round mag limit on weapons so I decided to up my 1911 inventory a small bit. Got a GI and IIRC an Operator... had some improvements over the GI. Both nice and tight.

Kill the knife-MAC logo and revise the font to look like a GI style- or go virgin slide. Disco Stu doesn't advertise. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By dmk0210: The grips can be replaced. Lots of options that would look classic good on that. My only pause is the ugly rollmark on the left side of the slide. I agree that a virgin slide would look better. The offensive rollmark is on the right side- it's the "knife-MAC" logo. Cartoons behind the serrations is a modern fad that kills the retro vibe. I get that the left side markings are intended to emulate GI Slides... but the legitimate representative example that keeps popping up in pics uses an Isr*eli hard slide... and Tisas did not even spend a minute duplicating the correct font and spacing. Virgin slide is 100% the way to go across all the models, but they've taken a step in the wrong direction recently with the Rambler, the Gambler, the Trucker, etc... and now this. It's frustrating because they are 98% of the way to Victory, and they could even save production costs by not ruining their product marking it all up. |

I've always been curious about the rear sight placement on the Tisas with the "Novak Style" rear sights. I wonder if the placement is correct, and how much work it would take to put some real Novak sights on them.
