The MAC Double Stack is the affordable ultimate shooting pistol we all need in our collection!

[@chrisferguson1911]

Where did he get the RDS plate? That is not the one I own and I would very much like to get it.

[@SS-tr5ru]

Only complaint is I wish they had a optic plate that cowitnessed through optics. Holosuns and trijicons cant cowitness.

A 2011 is generally considered to be a high-end production gun such as a Stacatto. The family moves up to production, hand-fit pistols, and then pistols that are handmade hand-fit. Makers such as Infinity, Atlas, and Hayes Custom make their parts or mix available and proprietary (custom spec'd) parts and are hand fit. Nighthawk is a completely hand-built pistol using proprietary designs and parts. Many high-end 2011s are CNC'd for tight tolerances in the fit and finish. Shooting a top-flight custom gun involves a large learning curve. For example, the trigger pull on my Hayes is 1.5 lbs. You fart, and the gun will fire. The slides are designed for speed. The best thing about the Tisas guns is that they use forged internals, no MIM.

When are early adopter MAC owners going to get (the as advertised) sights that co-witness with the RMR/507? As it currently stands the iron sights sit just below the deck height of a RMR/507. Also, multiple users (myself included) report that you can remove the slide stop by just pushing it through the frame when the slide is in its normal "ready to fire" position. A slide stop with a little bit of extra material on the part of the part that slots into the slide rails would easily fix this. Aside from these two issues, the MAC 9 DS is hands down the best 2011 style pistol for anyone interested in trying out the platform but not wanting to spend $2K+ to do so. It is laser accurate, very fast to return to point of aim and is a remarkably soft shooter. In other words... It is good enough that you may choose to skip going upmarket into one of those $2500 pistols in the future. Good job SDS!!!

[@MoneyShot_CM]

Hope they get your slide stop taken care of, mine is not like that. I think they days summer for the new plates. I do get a small, tiny co-witness with a Tacticon v4. Enough to make is usable in a pinch

[@michaell397]

I would love to see them make this in a full dust cover. Staccato's with that feature, (STI") are now highly collectable and really give the 2011 style guns their unique look. I do appreciate the browning cut on the muzzle of the slide, just as Staccato and Spring Field went to. But still! KnifeMaker

[@mattblack133]

What happened to the adapter explanation that blanked out into a soft case?

[@320epdmk]

Put one on layaway today to pick up in two weeks!!! Where are the best aftermarket upgrades found? Extended mags, upgraded triggers, grips, etc? Can you mount an ACRO to the Mac 9 DS?

[@staceyvial4866]

❤I❤LOVE❤THIS❤

[@Thomas-vt7cz]

Hello man, it was mentioned that the Holosun K optics will fit but will the Holosun 507c and/or the 508T fit the MAC 9DS platform? 😎

[@CartersCountry1]

Tisas models are direct mount holosun K. Mac9DS has an included plate that accepts RMR footprint. A 507 or 508t will work on the mac9ds! Thanks

[@Thomas-vt7cz]

@@CartersCountry1 You the man!!! Thank you bruh! I purchased the MAC 9 DS today for pick up next week through my FFL. 😎

[@carrollwaters5375]

Did you mount that red dot with the included optics plate? Any suggestions on how to get the cover off, to attach the included plate?

[@carrollwaters5375]

Thanks

[@carrollwaters5375]

What safariland holster model is that you are using?

[@NEWYORK577]

Can you use a prodigy magazine 26 rounder on a Mac 9 ds

[@CartersCountry1]

Yes you can!

[@Thomas-vt7cz]

Larry my man I forgot to ask what optic is that on the MAC 9 DS??? I would like to find a holster for it that takes a Olight...😎

[@carrollwaters5375]

Is that magwell considered a carry magawell? Do you know if the staccato carry magwell will fit?

[@CartersCountry1]

They are not a carry magwell, but they are easily removable and yes staccato parts friendly :)

[@cornbreadbrown4961]

is it compatible with available grip modules on the market? cheely, etc.

[@CartersCountry1]

looking into this!

[@Krysis219]

Yes

[@cornbreadbrown4961]

@@Krysis219 thanks, man!

[@Krysis219]

@@cornbreadbrown4961 you bet. I also disagree with this video. The Mac is over sprung for sure. Wolff 9lb Commander spring is just about right!

[@NEWYORK577]

Why it's so hard to take the plate off to put a red dot on. How you take it off

[@CartersCountry1]

they just uploaded a video last week i think on their channel showing the easiest way to do it! looks like its easy if you just drop it on at the right angle

[@NEWYORK577]

Lmaoo smh but thanks okay

[@CartersCountry1]

@@NEWYORK577 oops sorry I thought I was responding to someone else’s question. I checked with the rep and he’s saying it should be pretty easy with the right allen wrench, you might also try heating it up first with a soldering iron, but that shouldn’t be necessary.

[@carrollwaters5375]

Will the tisas brand threaded barrel work in the Mac ds 9mm?

[@carrollwaters5375]

Is this based on a gen 2 or gen 1 of the Staccato p ?

[@ksstojo]

Is this a 2011 style pistol (2 piece) or 1911?

[@CartersCountry1]

“2011” is a trademarked name, but yes its a 2011 style pistol

[@jesusmata1771]

Im going in two weeks to buy one nice pistol

[@viewthroughcass]

Is it a steel or aluminum frame?

[@CartersCountry1]

Yes sir, steel frame polymer grip!

[@wookiewillie5563]

What model number safariland is that?

[@CartersCountry1]

Safariland 6930rds. P-Duo for the carry guns and XC for the duty

[@chuckschulze6877]

Why dint more companies make these double stack pistols that use glock mags? I would grab one fast if they did. Glock mags are way cheaper but still reliable . As to that glock mags are everywhere.

[@CraigSummers]

Lots of people dont care for the Glock grip angle.

[@michaell397]

@@CraigSummers +1!!! Part of the 1911/2011 shooting experience is the angle of the grip. It and the CZ gun's ar top of the heap in this regard. Hate the grip angle on a Glock. Period! KnifeMaker

[@earltate56]

What about holsters? NO ONE makes holsters for it.

@@CartersCountry1 Lot's of people make holsters for them Many make fine holsters for 1911/2011's with a rail. If impossible to find in your area, the 4 14" fits a Glock 19 and the 5" fits a glock 17 holster just fine. Sacrilege as it may be. KnifeMaker
