[@Average_Joe_Arms]

My Tisas was 319 brand new , I put grips on it and polished feed ramp , that’s it , got over 1000 rds now and had 2 ff most likely cheap ammo. No major issues no mechanical failures , I’m really impressed , honestly My Sig Nightmare fast back (yes more refined ) doesn’t shoot any better or more accurate. And I paid close to the same amount of sales tax on sig for the Tisas 😂

Hard to complain about that

@@1911syndicate not sure if y’all have ever reviewed the legion precision DS 1911s but they run around 4 thousand dollars and come with a RMR and pelican box n from what I’ve seen of them they look to be nice and one of the least expensive custom 2011s out there that I know of anyways.

[@uptopplumbing]

As a subscribed member I appreciate the patience and acceptance of your videographer. Their shot choices, locations, and lighting conditions set your channel apart from many others in your class. Cheers to the 1911 Syndicate family and may 2024 be filled with continued prosperity

[@swarbrickjesse]

Your videos took a huge leap this year, I love the cinematography and the guns featured. Happy New Year to y'all and keep up the great work!

[@Chrisblau]

Jake and crispy have made a concerted effort and it shows

[@greggfairfield2570]

I'm fairly new to your channel but I will say that the intro to this video is single-handedly the classiest gun intro I've ever seen. And Crispy's zoom in at 0:48 is very well done. I love your content, keep it up.

[@stevofoo]

Glad that you guy are so honest, have not been influenced by big brands and telling the truth, great content and awesome video production!!! see you in 2024, happy new year fellas!!!

[@Chrisblau]

This is easily the nicest thing people can say to the crew. We try our absolute best to be honest and upfront to the best of our ability

[@1911syndicate]

Cheers mate

[@ulrikerudel6859]

100% agreed.

[@ethanmccracken6489]

I agree with the Pit Viper placement. The one I shot at Trigger Con was a cool gun for sure and had a spectacular trigger and tracked very well, but you could easily achieve the same thing by tuning up a Staccato. In no way is that gun worth $7,000. I’d say $4,300 would be the absolute max (same as the XC). Very disappointing to hear them cutting additional corners. I wasn’t aware of that. The Nighthawk BDS9 is an awesome gun as well, I was very impressed with that at Trigger Con. Thanks again for the superb video, you guys are my favorite KZbin channel

[@bhoover14]

Great video! Love the expertise, comic relief, candor, and overall production value. Enjoyed Crispy’s cameo. Hearing that Roger (QVO) was hooking you guys up made me smile. Good folks backing good folks. Happy new year, Gents! 🎉

Thank you dude. Means a lot to the whole crew 👊🏼

[@c.edwardbrice3470]

Great job this year guys. Best show on youtube and appreciate the creativity you put into it. It was your segment on the Galil that got me to pull the trigger an haven't looked backed since. For 2024 lets order some 3xl of QUANTICO MEETS SYNDICATE shirt please. Would love to see something on the Beryl, Bren2, and Oracle Arms. Really Great job all year and Happy New Year to you all. Your work is greatly appreciated.

[@michaelhill6451]

Lol. $7,000 for a pistol and it's taking them months to fix it. You'd think for that price they'd personally deliver a brand new gun to you within a day. That's outrageous.

47:42 Chris is right. TT has always charged premium prices for non-premium work.

Found y’all’s content about a month ago and first video I saw was the “5 must own 1911s” and I immediately was hooked. Earned my sub, and this was while I was in the middle of buying my next carry gun after selling off my Glock. Spent the next couple weeks selling off one of my rifles I don’t use often enough and then came home with a Staccato P for my first 1911/2011. Took it to the range for the first time today, and I’m not sure if I’m ever going to buy a polymer gun again. I’m hooked man…

Awesome video, loved this type of video. It was cool of you to include the video guy. You should have him test guns and interact more. That's another segment you can reach. Also you all need to add a list of your picks so that people can easily find the firearms you're talking about. Maybe link to your website in the description if you don't want to add them to the chapter titles.

I think the scorpion community may put out a hit on me

[@BrianKern2121]

@1911syndicate I got one, and I'd be pissed if I pay the 1.3k that you spent. Its a 600 dollar plastic STEN gun. For above 1K I'd get an MP-5 clone or B&T.

I gotta say man I love the honesty you guys bring every video. I thoroughly enjoy your cinematography and music choices that come with it. It’s never overdone or overwhelming so you can give crispy a raise cause he’s performing at a high level too. Favorite guntubers for me. Keep banging them out.

[@TheAmerican1963]

Another great video that shows you are honest AND fair !!!!!! I have a Tisas Tank Commander and a B9R carry that both have over a thousand rounds through them. Outside of a couple of early 100 or so round hiccups, they shoot flawlessly to the point of being trustworthy carry pistols. Keep being who you are and making great content. Thank you !!!!!! By the way. Just bought my first double stack 1911. A 4.25" Prodigy. Traced its build to May of 2023 and compared it to my buddy's 4.25 from early 2022 and the difference in fit, finish and performance was like night and day !!!! It seems, and I get I am but one sample, that Springfield corrected what seemed wrong with the weapon. The slide feels like it runs on roller bearings. The ambi safety no longer over travels in the "off" position and even the feed lips on the mags were profiled it seems like the Staccato and Atlas mags. I get it is not an Atlas, Staccato or an Oracle but I am new to this on a retired disabled USMC Grunt budget and as I shoot better with this pistol, I'll upgrade parts. Again, great videos and thank you for the hard work that goes into them !!!! 🙂

I bought a gen 3 34 combat master with an SRO from TTI a couple years ago. I’m friends with a bunch of the guys in the shop so my order was done in 2 weeks compared to the months it usually takes for other people (🤷🏻‍♂️) When I went to pick up the gun after the 10 day wait (CA bullshit) they told me I had to wait because taran took my SRO out of its box and was using it on an MPX…I had to wait until someone had enough balls to go over to him on the range and tell him that the customer was here and that he was using my dot. After I found this out I told them I didn’t pay to have a used optic (in the grand scheme not huge deal but what the fuck?!) and that I wanted an unopened box. Took another 45 minutes for them to dig another 2.5 moa SRO out of the mess that was their “shop” at the time.

Ian made the best debate for the 8.6black - but I just don’t buy it. I get wanting a heavier subsonic projectile, but that already exists without having to SBR my AR 10 lower or a single use bolt gun. 458 Socom can accommodate up to 600 grain projectiles. Sure 30 caliber will get a little bit better range but when we’re talking subsonic projectiles, you aren’t gonna get that much range anyway. 458 is probably cheaper than we’re going to find 8.6 and I can reload from 600 grain all the way down to 250 grain.
