$1,400 STI or $400 Tisas ?

[Bam Bam]

I went shoot my Tisas today. I'm VERY impressed with it. I ran four mags through it. I intentionally barely held it with one hand to limp wrist for one mag and it still ran great. With that said, I guess I'm ordering a Tisas in 9mm for PSA's next sale. Hopefully they run a Christmas or new years sale. So much for me owner just my range office

How was your groups with the Tula ammo? I bought a box of Monarch and it didn't group worth a crap so I stuck with American made stuff for now.

I am sure either would be as reliable as the one I got, but I can't deal with a 1911 that does not have a modified hammer and some sort of beaver tail. My paws are big and my grip is very high up in the gun. Hammer bite is a real thing for me.

And for those reading this that want to lecture me on how to 'properly' shoot a GI 1911- yawns. Save your breath. Or in this case, bandwidth.

I still have the Colt ACE I bought new in 79-80 has a King's Beavertail and modded hammer. Great shooter that looks just like a Gold Cup since it basicly is.
I like the great classic looks of a few mods on a 1911

That’s the .22lr version 1911, right ?

Man I’d love to come across one at the right price one day.

Colt made 22 LR Conversion units for the 1911. The "floating chamber" of the all steel unti gives it heft and the thing just feels more like shooting a 'real' 1911 than the aluminum kits offered by other manufactures. I have a few of them set up on dedicated steel frames and love to take them out to the range.

We are not that good at shooting pistols. With that said, we mostly shot our (steel plates) dualing tree. That was fun.

Yepper is the 22lr version of series 70 Gold Cup. Was new in case when I bought it. Colt's Recomended ammo was Standard Vol ammo.
Came with the Bomar type target sights like a Gold Cup. It is a,sweet shooter.
Few year's after I bought it grabbed some new Colt parts. Colt Series 70 slide, chrome lined barrel, bushing, sights etc in 45acp cal from the old News paper style Shotgun News. Remember that? (Man I am old.)
So have a 45acp conversion fitted by a gun smith. I figured it was something I should do when new parts were still around.

On my short list is a 1911 38 special wad cutter. Yes I have a strange list of wants.

I love shooting steel! I was beating up that steel plate on this shot.

Guess I'm old too. Ordered my first pistol out of there (Super Single 6) in 1983.

I remember going with my Dad to downtown Denham Spring to the Old Western Auto and buying a Western Auto brand .410 crack barrel shotgun! BTW I'm a 64 model.

 

[WhereIsIt?]

I rode my bike to the Western Auto in our town so that I could order a co2 pellet handgun. Employee handed me a huge catalog to look through. Pointed at what I wanted, paid him and waited for a month for it to finally come in. That was in the early 90s.
