Tisas 1911 Night Stalker DS9

[@tinkertalksguns7289]

I tested the Duty DS9 and was pretty impressed, especially for the price. It has something I've come to call 'The Tisas Thing.' Looked at everything is good but not exceptional. Then you shoot it and it all comes together and IS exceptional. I don't know how that works, but I've encountered it on a number of their 1911s and now the DS. Great guns, great price!

[@arichutson1141]

The MAC or the Tisas carry one will be mine hopefully soon 😅

[@itgearhead]

Would love to see a follow-up review on the carry model. It's very close to the C2, but 1/3 msrp... maybe even less street price.

[@OpieInTheSmokies]

Funny you ask. Actually finishing the edit right now and hoping to get it uploaded to KZbin by Thursday/Friday.

[@itgearhead]

@@OpieInTheSmokies Perfect! I'll look forward to watching. This may be my next purchase when available.

[@jsharp9735]

@@OpieInTheSmokies Do you know if tisas will offer a threaded barrel for those models ?

[@OpieInTheSmokies]

@@jsharp9735hope so!

[@jayhong1704]

Thanks for the review, great vid. Tisas bringing great value to the market 😎👍🏼

[@OpieInTheSmokies]

100% Thanks for watching!

[@jat2409]

Nice review, very detailed. What is the biggest red dot window in the RMSc footprint available for this pistol today? Thanks again.

[@michaellawson9230]

Looking forward to adding this to my single stack night stalker.

[@OpieInTheSmokies]

Great one to add for sure bro

[@asymsolutions]

@@OpieInTheSmokies FYI the name thing isn't because of a "stigma" it's because 2011 is a copyrighted term by staccato and SVI. Hence why a lot of companies use the term "2011 type" or "2011 style"

[@gentlemanjoe6912]

Fun fact: Tisas is also right in your backyard in Knoxville, TN

[@OpieInTheSmokies]

Yup!

[@ninji5226]

Man from a looks perspective I really wish they would have ran the rail all the way out. Looks a little goofy with it only partial. Still cool, but could have been cooler.

[@coltonmattox7788]

YESSSSS

[@guns-r-us3119]

Mines work without a booster.. cycles perfectly fine

[@ShenryRNBSN]

Just purchased a B9R 1911 Railed because I couldn't wait. As soon as this drops, order will be in. This or the MAC.

[@OpieInTheSmokies]

heck yeah!

[@brianpresto1446]

What is the hoodie you are rocking ? I’m digging that. I just picked up the 45acp single stack Night Stalker. Tisas is gonna be getting more of my money… they’re really putting out some excellent 1911s.

[@OpieInTheSmokies]

Freedom industries on the hoodie

[@daryelthomas9414]

Just bought a nightstalker single stack. So far it is very impressive. I will get the double stack.

[@njcranes]

Great review. BTW, 2011 is owned/trademark by Stacatto soooo...yeah, everyone else just goes with DS instead of lawsuits😂

[@OpieInTheSmokies]

Haha makes sense

[@kingRichhATL]

Love the sad 1911 Night stalker

[@ChrisFromThe740]

I really appreciate this review I just ordered one today.

[@mikehamlin1986]

Excellent in depth review. Question though, I’m looking at getting into competition shooting. Would you recommend this or the night stalker PX9 for an entry level comp gun? Thank you!!

[@OpieInTheSmokies]

I would take this DS over the PX9 for comp. But the PX9 a good one too.

[@killmongers550]

What type of holster does this use I bought the 4.25 b9r ds and I wanted to order a trex arms holster in the staccato p size

[@OpieInTheSmokies]

Was using a Trex arms Glock Holster

[@jguerin1234]

i just scooped this up today and am in love with it. what optics did you put on ? did it mount directly or did you need a plate ? also what holster ?

[@OpieInTheSmokies]

507k and mounted directly!

[@OpieInTheSmokies]

Holster I was using a Trex arms ragnarok that worked off my surefire 300 light

[@jguerin1234]

@@OpieInTheSmokies i bought one as well , looking into extended mag releases and compensators now

[@XxchrisbeastaxX]

what screw size did you need to mount the holosun 507k? i have the same dot and wanted to mount mine as well, but I am not sure which size to order.

[@OpieInTheSmokies]

I’m sorry I’m not much help I have a random basket of optic screws and picked two that looked close to each other 😂

[@just-some-dude]

Very late, but for anyone else that comes along, M3-0.5x10mm.

[@stephencrede7029]

Love your review. What holster are you using?

[@OpieInTheSmokies]

Trex Arms Ragnarok for a Glock

[@czjunky2045]

900$ worth it all day, even if you still need to buy a few 8$ springs here and there .

[@swimDad66]

What was the issue with shooting suppressed and having to rack the slide after each shot?

[@OpieInTheSmokies]

I forgot my booster for the can and turned it into a bolt action lol. Totally my fault

[@Thomas-vt7cz]

What's up bruh, have you shot the Tisas duty 5" DS 1911 if so how would you compare? 😎

[@OpieInTheSmokies]

I haven’t had the pleasure of shooting that one yet. Just got to hold it. It’s nice tho!

[@lukedunn3755]

Just ordered one! Anyone know if the Springfield prodigy mags will work in this? I know their website says it will work with any Sti/2011 mags

[@OpieInTheSmokies]

Not sure brother but if it says on their website I’m sure they have tested it.

[@alexmurad6957]

From who? I want one too!

[@Jacket_4256]

It’s a banger ! Definitely will add one !

[@OpieInTheSmokies]

Heck yeah man!

[@dutchman7216]

I believe i just may get one of these.

Great review. What is your holster?

[@OpieInTheSmokies]

Trex Arms Ragnarok Glock Holster

[@الالعربي]

Are you going to review the MAC 9 ds?

[@DH-cq9kg]

I hope so. This is the other one I’m interested in

[@OpieInTheSmokies]

I’m hoping so!! The carry DS is the next video coming out this weekend.

[@الالعربي]

@OpieInTheSmokies thanks! I am looking forward to that review. The carry is on my bucket list.

[@DKlikesStuff]

I mean I’m planning on getting a Tisas B45R or a SS45R (assuming it’s on sale for under $500) for my first handgun But their double stacks look very very tempting. Not that they are competitors, but if I’m gonna spend about 1k on a double stack 9mm, I might get an sig P226. So many good options, not enough money in the wallet lol.

[@OpieInTheSmokies]

Def not enough money!

[@JBobAlbetross]

What holster are you using? I am wanting to be able to holster the gun with the light

[@OpieInTheSmokies]

Trex Arms Ragnarok SD

[@DH-cq9kg]

Love the video. Looking forward to getting this gun but not gonna lie the 5+ lb trigger pull doesn’t have me excited

[@OpieInTheSmokies]

It really doesn’t feel that heavy. I was shocked too. Feels closer to 4.

[@DH-cq9kg]

@@OpieInTheSmokies That’s good to know. Hopefully some aftermarket parts/adjustments can get it into the 3 lb range

[@jamesmartin6484]

Do they fit in 1911 holsters, with an open bottom?

[@OpieInTheSmokies]

Didn’t have a chance to try that.

[@thetacticalmomma5378]

​@@OpieInTheSmokies have you been able to try it in any other holsters yet? Curious if it has a staccato enough footprint to plug into those

[@joshgarcia7248]

[@bkhix208]

What plate? Comes with plate? Recoil bosses in slide? As usual no explanation when describing optics mount from reviews

[@OpieInTheSmokies]

Damn homie who pissed in your wheaties this morning? If you actually listened I explain the optics that work, and the cut it has. As usual stupid comments from commenters to start my day.

[@bkhix208]

@@OpieInTheSmokies You did not state if it comes with plate or has recoil bosses nor did you show a pic of the milled slide. If that's a stupid question then you are Whiskey tango. Do better.

[@OpieInTheSmokies]

@@bkhix208 ​​⁠it doesn’t come with a plate Jesus Christ. Direct means directly to the slide I don’t know how to be any clearer than that. You’re being picky. You want to see the footprint look up the optic size on google which I clearly mention and you’re a big boy capable of looking it up I’m sure.

[@bkhix208]

@@OpieInTheSmokies I know the Optic size. Recoil bosses on slide yes or no? or slide is using fasteners for fore aft cross slide for support. Simple question, ready? Does the slide have recoil bosses the RDS mounts into or is it flat milled without?

[@adamadams6740]

Had Tisas heard of Richard Ramirez? lol kinda a weird name I always thought on this one,but like the double stack version. The grips on the single stack are kinda cool looking but don’t look like have much grip,could be wrong,either way the double is cool…Tisas releasing double stack versions of there guns is sweet.

[@greatBLT]

Richard Ramirez is why they called it the Night Stalker. Like the infamous serial killer, the gun is supposed to strike fear in its victims' hearts
