How many people that can afford the original actually prefer the clone though? Nobody. Zero people. Because the clones aren't collectible, they are accessible. Also, you are comparing very low production cars and guns to cmp 1911's, which are being released by the thousands. Anybody who wants...

a friend of mine had one for a second. I got to shoot it a few times before he got rid of it because of the high ammo costs compared to the power of the round. Very mild report and recoil. It would make a decent home defense gun, especially SBR'd and capable of full auto. its interesting. Not my...

I guess I'm confused. Are we recommending buying a mass-produced generic clone or three instead of a CMP 1911 because the Tisas are...the best of a list of not very accurate clones? While we are still in a window of opportunity to buy CMP 1911's for (imo)reasonable prices? The Tisas are nice...

Switches are all over the place. I've been been offered switches before, $50. I of course declined, but yes. They are everywhere, they are easy to get, and lots of shady people are buying them.

Oh noes I have sinned. Colt = bolt and S&W = stop.

Huh? People are getting nice guns out of the CMP, and the people that arent happy with their guns are able to easily sell them for as much or more than they paid. I think people are aware that a 75 year old milsurp has got some wear, and are into the evidence of use that it entails. To some...

Nice, I don't see many nickeled pencil barrel M10's.

I carried a .44 in Yellowstone too and thought nothing of it. But the OP is speaking in terms of a daily CCW, at least how I read it. I felt like a fool because I gave myself a backache for no reason other than to limit my capacity and increasing my risk of causing collateral damage. There was...

I carried a 3" N frame .44 as a ccw once. At the end of the day my reasoning for carrying it didn't pan out in reality and I just felt like a fool.

I think it's a stretch to assume a Tisas is going to gain any collectors value simply because it is the latest and cheapest in a long list of generic milsurp clones. Colt has milsurp clones. USFA put out some milsurp clones. There are already better clones out there than any Tisas. Consider...

Haha, my quick and dirty photo setup leaves much to be desired. I still haven't figured out how to photo nickel without either glare or reflections.

Its an early, well used 10-5 and it was having issues with the bolt not rising fast enough, causing It to jump notches in DA. The old spring was 1/8" shorter than the new one, so was severely underpowered. On the way out I swapped the rebound spring with a 14lb Wolff spring. Smoothed out the...

Just had one of these completely apart to fix a weak bolt spring. Not the easiest DA revolver action I've had apart and back together, but it works now and the bolt drops into the cylinder notches as it should. Anyways, i had them all out and I've never taken a photo of my M10's together, so...

Fixed it, a slight burr had formed on the trigger stud. Applying pressure from behind with a dental pick popped it off.

I'm trying to get at the bolt and bolt spring for a s&w 10-5 to correct a problem with the bolt skipping notches. Right now I've got it down to the trigger and bolt. It's my first time into the guts of a S&W, I've only had to open up Colts. I have followed the YouTube instructions, I'm at the...

Its a cool factory option, I have no idea what the numbers are, but I have the feeling that I've seen more factory engraved revolvers than I have factory pinto's. A factory pinto is right up there with a master factory engraved revolver on my wish list. I've seen pinto's from both Colt and S&W...

Pinto is common reference to a coloration of horse. Two tone, base color with a (usually)contrasting color spotted over it.

I'll say outright, I was expecting this gun to go for at least double the hammer price. Its a nice all original gun with box and has some rare features. I didn't bid because I didn't think this gun would be anywhere near my price range. It still isn't, but its a lot closer than I thought it...

I'm curious why the comparison with a RR. The Tisas is a generic GI pistol, it could just as easily be compared to a US&S or Ithaca, since only the few markings are used. I've never taken a close look at the Tisas, do the small parts follow any kind of specific manufacturer? It's too bad they...

The DS-II's were stainless steel
