Cant get enough of raider videos...nice job. Thanks

[@BoomStickTactical]

Thanks for watching. More coming in the future

I'm a Tisas Raider owner along with its Girsan competitor. Like the Videographer, I love the FDE finish. A couple of things. I was always trained to use a Bore Brush in the direction of Bullet travel. No point in nicking up the barrels crown by accident. Lastly. I agree about removing the Firung Pin Backplate. Removing the Pin , Pin Spring and the Extractor then cleaning out the wells from which they came with a Solvent of choice and those Q-Tips. Your Extractor issues will be few this way..and the Breech face cleaner than ever.

A bore brush that can damage the crown or any part of the barrel is to hard in my opinion. I won't use some of the harder ones that are on the market. I just let the solvents do the job. If necessary I'll soak them.

[@spaceman1981ad]

Thanks. Just bought the Raider today. My first 1911. Could take it down following the instructions in the manual, but there is no way I could have reassembled it without this video. The manual just doesn't cover some of the essential steps you point out.

Nice gun. Nice howto.

[@BoomStickTactical]

Thanks Alex

About every 200-300 rounds I also depress the firing pin, slide the firing pin plate off (careful, firing pin has a spring and is under tension) and remove extractor. Clean extractor tunnel in slide with a Q-tip and use cleaner on extractor, firing pin, and firing pin stop. Reassemble in reverse order. Keeping firing pin depressed while sliding plate back on can be an adventure.

[@BoomStickTactical]

That's why most rarely ever go that far.

[@Alexurone]

Do you know if it is possible to find an ambi mag release/switch for this model? I am left handed and would like to see if there's a more comfortable way to release. Thank you.

[@BoomStickTactical]

I'm not sure.

[@clayjones9907]

In Early 90's paid $1600 for Dave Lauck to Build me a Custom 1911 oa Springfield Armory 1911, back in 91 a Dollar worth much much more than.And this Tisas Raider for 700.00 Wow own 2 and and a dozen Wilson Rodger 7 Round Stainless Steel Mags for Same Money.

[@BoomStickTactical]

Yep Tisas is winning the game in affordable 1911s

[@TheLoneRanger745]

I've watched several videos on this Colt clone by Guy's that really know a lot about the 1911 , ALL of them said this is an outstanding Colt clone. The fit finish and proformince are on par with much more expensive USA Manufacturers. At 25% the cost of the genuine Colt . I thought that was very impressive for a five hundred dollar clone , worth every penny 😁 . Thanks for showing us beginners how it's done .🤠. Ps. You missed a spot 🤣

[@BoomStickTactical]

Thanks for watching. I'll get that spot next time. 😆

[@dennisblake7683]

I start cleaning everything with a dry cleaning first. I take a paper towel and go over everything. Then you dont have extra slop in the mix when you start getting everything wet.

Thanks for sharing!!
