Sql: I had a Tisas D-10, and once broken in it was fine. The Girsan long slide is attractive, but I have read of some real issues with them.
In a shorter-barreled 10, I am also looking again at the Springfield XDM 4.5.Have to say that poking around on the 1911 forums I have seen some posts about non-existent customer service, which is no darned bueno.
That’s a nice sight pusher all right. I bought a cheapy for a Glock. It works, but not sure how durable it will be.
Glad your Yukon is working for you now. They sure are handsome 1911s.Highxj, I may not need the firing pin stop. I took the Tisas out this morning after a minor tweak and a bit more CLP and it ran factory and handloads perfectly. I did still have to chase brass …
Hmmm. The square-bottom firing m[in stop I have is a Wilson and it says it is for .45 ACP 1911s specifically. Guess I should hunt one up that is designed for 10mm.

Sqlbullet, I will try that too, as I have one in the 1911 parts bag, along with a 24-pound Wolff recoil spring …
Just got back from the range on the first outing with my D10. I had field-stripped, cleaned and lubed it — and polished the feed ramp with Flitz on a felt bob in my Dremel. Had failures to go into battery with both factory Winchester practice loads and my handloads. Several times, the slide would hang up a half-inch or so before fully forward. Just dropping the mag let the slide go fully into battery. Accuracy was so-so, but the factory trigger is at about 5 1/2 pounds — not optimal. The D10 did like my handload of a 180-grain JHC blem from Midway over 9 grains of Longshot.
Ejection was inconsistent, with nearly half the empties 8 to 10 feet diagonally behind over my right shoulder, the rest mostly directly to my right.
The gun definitely needs more break-in before I draw any conclusions.Picked up my D-10 a few minutes ago and I am impressed with it out of the box — and I have had Tisas 1911s before. It is, of course, stiff, and the trigger, while fairly crisp, is running 5 pounds 7 ounces on the Lyman gauge. I will field strip, clean and lube things I suspect it should start to break in pretty quickly.
If your Tisas was made after Nov. 1, 2022, the only MIM part will be the recoil spring plug, per the current Tisas FAQ:
8. Does my Tisas Pistol contain any cast or MIM parts?
Tisas does not use any cast metal parts on our firearms. The use of quality MIM parts on some models was used in prior generations of our 1911 products but in mid-2022 we began moving away from use of those parts. Tisas models produced after 11/1/2022 contain machined internal parts with the exception of the recoil spring plug which will continue to be a MIM part at a time to be determined.
Good to know, Shadow. Do you find Longshot to possess any advantages over Blue Dot in terms of accuracy, velocity or ES/SD?
Blue Dot and Longshot are going to have to do it for me for a while. Be nice to have some
Power Pistol and some BE-86, but I am really tired of buying powders that I might not use much of. I look at the canisters under my load bench and ask myself, why did I buy that?Jd, you are fortunate to have such opportunities! I moved from NM to Sweetwater a year ago, and know there are hogs in these parts, but have yet to see a live one, much less find an opportunity to hunt them. A nice 80-pounder well dressed and injected/brushed with a mojo of garlic and sour orange overnight, then roasted whole …OMIGOSH!
