Here's to you guys that have been patient. Family Tisas Raider $549 They had them up the night you placed your order, I've never used them. They're definitely GTG. Not a huge difference of $38 from the Dr (shipping considered)...But I save when I can!  I'm fine. Said I'd buy one when they came in under $600 again and that's what I did. The good Dr seems to be standup as well and now on my list of viable vendors.  Posted to be a bad influence to others that were fence sitting. Someone said it doesn't offer anything over the cheaper B45R. I agree and absolutely true. But, to me and given the "clone" effect of the aesthetics, the Raider is worth the $100 premium. |

Family Firearms is good to go. I got my (two) Duty pistols in 9mm and 45acp from them late last years. And a MP5K clone several months before that. All with out any issue.

These need a threaded barrel from the factory! Add more money to the cost, that's fine with me, +/- $200.
Para/Clarke type ramp/barrel. it's been discussed in these threads. |

I changed all the springs to Wilson Combat today and gave it a thorough look over.
Everything is wearing in normally. There are two abnormal spots of wear I noticed. Nothing that affects function. There is some gouging through the cerakote from actuating the left side safety that's actually cutting into the frame a bit.  The hammer is also hitting the firing pin stop plate pretty hard.  So far, 600 ball and 40 jhp with that one initial failure to feed on the first magazine. Pretty impressive |

The two USMC school house Colts don't have any wear there and those have an ungodly amount of rounds on them I'm sure. That's why I thought the wear was definitely unusual.

For those who have Raiders coming or have them already, post some pictures up if your so inclined.
Curious about the color. Some show up lighter like the Colt USMC pistols and some are darker, like a browner color, some show as more of a green. It's probably mostly the lighting, but I think it's interesting. @Yumago @theokami @_LandCruiser_ @Jagrmaister Greenish:  Darker brown:  Lighter brown:  I tried to do a collage type thing, but I'm not good with photoshop stuff.

I tried some filing, etc but no luck on my X300 ultra. I ordered the $20 parts kit since I lost mine and will swap to the 1913 adapter.
It fits as-is on my TRP and my Kimber though. Hoping the new adapter allows it to work on all of them. ETA: I will figure out how to make the light or a light fit as I just got it cerakoted OD green, so not sending it back :) I will report back with my findings. |

The hammer pin is supposed to sit proud to keep the safety lever off the side of the frame so it does not rub the frame and take the finish off. It is supposed to rub against the hammer pin... not the frame.

The holster was made for the Colt M45a1 and selected for use by the USMC for their M45a1 program. I posted pictures of it earlier in this thread. I can take more though it you have any questions. It's made with and without the light. They are pricey, but awesome. I dont carry it appendix, so I don't have any recommendations for that. |
