I just picked up my first 1911. I chose the TiSAS over the RIA mainly because it's much more low-key, doesn't have a billboard-sized roll mark. I like that look (and price) more than the "BBQ gun" look - not to say I won't get a nicer 1911 later ....
It certainly seems solid, weighty and well-lubed. I field-stripped it last night and everything seems in order, so I plan on shooting it tonight and wanted to have a place to share my experience, hopefully to benefit some other folks in the market for a practical, cheap, furren M1911.
I'll follow up again here as I shoot/clean/maintain the gun. It'll be mostly a range toy, since I already have several Glocks to press into defensive service, so it'll be while before I shoot anything but hardball through it. More later ....
