My first and unfortunately my only 1911 (so far) is a Tisas one just like that, but the gov't size. I did not want to spend a lot for the first one. Wow, this was so worth it. About $420 and well worth it. Never had a malfunction, it is very tight and would highly recommend it as a range toy or just to get introduced into the wonderful world of 1911's

Having a mil-spec 1911 is great for its historical value, but I love double stack 1911's. There's just something about the SAO trigger and the big honkin' steel frame that makes 1911's awesome.

It's interesting that Tisas has recently changed from their plastic grips (which were shit - trust me) to wood grips, and changed the "names" of their full size and commander model pistols along with it. The full size GI now is called the 1911 A1W ( the w is for wood grips iirc), and your particular gun was just the "tanker" before. Either way, they're solid guns for the money.

That Barrel does have a feed ramp as a part of it which means it is very close or is a closed chamber gun which would make it more than likely that you can shoot plus b and plus P plus 9 mm in that firearm. The series 80 was only and only four the ability to sell the firearms in the state of California because for some reason when you drop the 1911 from 68 ft and it falls perfectly on its muzzle on concrete, it won't even do it on Blacktop, but on concrete, the inertia imparted to the firing pin can make it go off. Let me make this clear. If you're falling off of the seventh story of a building and you fall onto the concrete you're going to want that gun to go off and put you out of your misery. The 1911 when properly assembled is drop safe. If it wasn't there would have been such a human cry about how dangerous that firearm was by 1940 that it would have been eliminated from existence. Can you put damaged Parts into a firearm or wear it out to a point where it is no longer drop safe, you can do that with almost any firearm. But the 1911 does not have a problem with being not safe when you drop it. The way that that round sets in that chamber, it is more than covered by the internal structure of that brass and that is for all intents and purposes a fully supported chamber. If you're worried about it, take 223 brass and cut it down make sure you trim the inside of it and use it for your 9mm brass and load that. You will have to make your loads a little bit lighter because there's less room inside the case but you can make some really hot loads that will not burst. One other warning I would like to give those people who like to play with 1911's, the most useless part or accessory I have ever seen put on any 1911 ever is a full length ride Rod they are utterly useless on the 1911 design. They provide nothing of value except problems.

Overwhelmed with their Quality , Price and Performance thus far. Next..overall well done video. Downside..info accuracy. " The Back Housing has a hump in it" well Duh..one of the many Design Changes that separates the 1911 from the Model 1911A1...since 1924..its called the Mainspring Housing. The Eyelet. That is called the Barrel Link or Rotating Barrel Link...the 1911 is Toast without it in working order.needs to be Inspected for cracks or Link Pin walk periodically. The End Piece.. that is called the Recoil Spring Cap or Plunger. Care must be taken to avoid under pressure eye injury or part loss while installing. Education is great , as long as the information and nomenclatures are dead accurate.
@GBGuns Жыл бұрын
One thing about your comment however. The main spring housing is the back housing, the rotating barrel link is an eyelet, and the spring cap is indeed the end piece. We don't bog folks down with nomenclature because, especially these days, the majority of viewers are new to 1911s. Burying them in nomenclature that isn't always sensical to a non-1911 person is how you push people away from, not towards this great platform. You'll also see that in our range videos we don't over-dramatize with tactical movements or lingo despite our pedigree. We're trying to help more people enjoy their civil right and a wonderful hobby, not push folks away.

@@yankeeastronomer1927 Thank you and no worries, I'm just trying to help. As I understand it the "beavertail" is the section of frame that extends from the tang beyind and under the hammer. It's primary purpose is to protect the user from hammer bite, and in some cases they can help guide a slightly-errant draw. The Beavertail also distributes some of the recoil into the web between the thumb and pointer finger which is why I prefer broaders ones. Wider beavertails have more surface area and so the pounds per square inch of energy delivered into the hand is more broadly distributed resulting in less perceived recoil. In the extreme of a very narrow one it can become a pain point as it drives into the hand.

@GBGuns yes I see where you are coming from and agree with the purpose of a broad, flared feature to reduce hammer bite. In my experience, I have never seen the frame, particularly the tang, extended and flared in that manner. It was always the grip safety that was extended and flared. Beavertail was always a style of grip safety. I fear I am turning into an obstinate old man. I was attracted to this video because I am a 1911A1 addict. I currently own a Stainless steel Colt Govt. Model. As well as two Tisas 1911s. A 'Service' model, and a '1911A1 Army' model. Due to the current state of affairs, I'm thinking I should have a 9mm on hand, in case .45 ammo becomes scarce. But I just love a .45, and I am going to add the Tank Commander to my collection soon. With Tisas prices, I can buy two! Problem solved!

1911 and 9mm in the same sentence…..old mens heads are exploding at that revelation 😂

Yup, I don't think Browning and Luger would have liked it, but in the modern age it just makes sense.

Colt designed the Commander as a 9mm in 1949 and put it into production in 1950. In 1970 they started making it with a steel frame - it's the gun copied here - and called it the Combat Commander - in 9mm. Zero guys were surprised by my 9mm Combat Commander in the 70s. You might want to look into upgrading the old men you listen to and adjust your thinking but that's up to you. Fudds are timeless and there are no age restrictions.

@@Ni999 I am well aware of the history of the 9mm in the 1911 platform. I was a small arms instructor in the Navy when we transitioned from the 1911 to the Beretta, and instructed course of fire on both concurrently. I personally have no affinity for one over the other, as my 1911 in 38 Super will attest. As for me “listening to old men”, I have found that listening to them you will learn a great many things that can keep you from making terrible mistakes, but you have to temper that with your own personality and sense of right. Thanks for the reply though👍

@@subvet694 Thanks for your service. Really confused by the disconnect in your two statements so I guess that's just me and we can leave it there.

it doesn matter so much with standard 1911, but anyone releasing a slide like you just did on a custom will pretty much ruin a balanced trigger. slides slamming fwd while chambering a round are buffered by the action… doing it empty is a bad habit.
