When I worked at Rule Kang, we always sold out of the Tisas 1911's very quickly. They are very nice guns, I thought they compared well to the lower end Springfields.

I sold my early Springfield loaded .45 I bought in 1996 and kept my tisas duty .45
The tisas is a world better fit and finished and far more accurate than the Brazilian springfields I shot were
I have no experience with the usa made Springfields they look extremely well made compared to the old ones.

Late model Springfields I've looked at seemed very nice. I'm not a 1911 expert or enthusiast though.

If I ever buy another 9mm pistol it's gonna be this one:

INGLIS L9A1

Historically accurate Inglis L9A1 Hi-Power with forged steel, Cerakote® finish, lanyard loop & military sights. Built for collectors, priced for shooters.

My dream pistol was always a Wayne Novak hi power or 1911 from him



The Novak .45 shop is only 40 minutes from my house in parkersburg wv
but as years go by and the quality of pistols and variety has drastically improved
Accuracy even in budget pistols amazes me I remember all the idpa guys I shot with spending big money on accuracy packages or barrels from custom shops.
Now for example the 300.00 arex deltas I have would've out shot pistols my friend's had a couple thousand in.
And big money didn't mean reliability in pistols back in the 90s then I saw idpa guys shooting custom hand built 1911s that wouldn't run and
ipsc guys shooting para ordnance double stack 1911s that simply wouldn't run at all.
The fbi hrt had a lot of issues with them also I read
Now you can pretty much get a reliable pistol from any manufacturer.

I'm into accuracy now
I haven't owned a beretta since 1995 I had a 92fs 9mm and a 96fs .40
Nice pistols with great accuracy but I didn't like da pistols
And the frame mounted versions were scarce and very expensive
A couple of years ago Beretta introduced the 92xi their version of a 2011
A guy at the range let me try his beretta squalo and I was extremely impressed

I got one today they are 1200 at my local shop I got this for 700.00 on gundeals
And beretta has a 100.00 rebate going on
It's very tightly fit and butter smooth
About 3 1/2 pound crisp trigger.
I looked at all the 2011s and this fit my hand the best
The Apollo 2011 I bought is uncomfortable I'm still waiting on my prodigy grip module to arrive.

Kewl. If I used my Sig M11-A1 as a carry gun I would probably see about converting it to cocked and locked. As I understand it, most of the metal frame Sigs can be converted to DA/SA, DAO, DAK, or SAO with the right parts.

I prefer single action but my 1911s and CZ 75s we're getting too heavy to carry comfortably
So I went striker fired.
