I decided to get into the guts of my D-10 and fix the mediocre trigger. I had more time and trouble finding an Allen wrench to fit the cursed metric grip screw heads than I did lightening the trigger. Once I got the grip sorted out (it’s got an ambi safety, and the right grip panel had to come off), I had it down to about 4lbs. within 10 minutes. It feels REALLY good now, and I expect to be able to shoot it somewhat better now.
Now, I’m going to order some slot-tip screws for the grips, as I never liked Allen screws anyway, and especially those cursed metrics.
I took my D-10 out to the range for it’s second outing yesterday. It likes the Magtech ammo more and more as it gets worn-in. I like it. I was able to find a larger percentage of my cases this time, too. I had some old 180g. RNFP ammo I loaded about 20 years ago, and it shot quite well in the new pistol. I shot it alongside my RIA Ultra 6″ pistol, and while the RIA shot a little better, it’s trigger is a LOT better OOB, and the extra sight radius is helpful, too. I’m pretty happy with both pistols, to tell the truth, but the Tisas will carry a lot easier than the porked-up RIA.
I picked up a D-10 last week, and it’s a shooter. It DOES launch brass into lower Earth orbit, like most 10mm 1911s. I am pretty happy with the workmanship of these Tisas pistols ( I have two 9mm and a .45, too). It likes PPU Personal Defense loads pretty well,and Winchester Ranger bonded 180s very well, too. Not so much Magtech FMJ, but that’s just for plinking and brass (if you can find it!).
If anything, I’m more a 1911 guy than I ever was before, and that’s saying a heckuva lot. I’ve got a dozen 1911s on hand currently, and I’m looking at a couple more, if they every show up.
The more I shoot, the more i appreciate the LW Commander pistols, doesn’t matter the chambering, 9mm, .38 Super, or .45, they make me smile more and more. I don’t think they’d be a good thing in 10mm, though.
