Hey guys,
I made a post before about Rock Island Armory 1911s, and heard many good things about them.
I saw that Tisas SDS imported A1 1911, which also has good reviews.
I'm not buying a 1911 to be a "1911 guy", I just want one because America, and I feel like everyone should own one. So I'm getting a cheap shooter grade gun. Probably between the Tisas or the RIA. I'd rather get the RIA, than the Tisas, because I really don't lie the thought of my money ending up in Turkey.
Anyway.... Do any of you guys have one of those SDS imports Tisas M1911 A1s? If so, what has been your luck with them?
I've always heard the best 1911 magazines are the Wilson Combat ones, are there any that are cheaper but still work well?
I've been hearing a lot about hammer bite. I know most people say that to completely mitigate that, you most have a gun Smith install an extended upturned beaver tail and skeleton hammer. I know there is a guy who makes lower profile slightly bobbed hammers. Again, not drop in pieces.
My question is this: could one not file down the rear of the hammer? Like a 8th of an inch? Would that still work?
I apologize for my ignorance of this subject!
