Cheap, foreign gun with basic options and crap ammo?I bought a GI type Turkish (Tisas) 1911 about five years ago. I doubt if I have ever run more than 200 rounds through it without cleaning it, so I chose E. IIRC I have used McCormick magazines. All it has ever shot has been whatever FMJ ammo was the cheapest. It has never malfunctioned in any way.
The recoil doesn't bother me a bit. It feels no different to me than 45LC or 44 special. All three are fun to shoot, imho. They don't sting like my 44 magnum.
Maybe this should lead us to the belief that the 1911 is inherently reliable -- with the right magazines..?
