I bought a Tisas government model for $350 after reading all the good reviews. So far I've been really pleased with it. Accuracy has been on par with the Remington Rand I foolishly let get away from me. Fit and finish inside and out are really good. Reliability has been great with all reloads with my cast bullets. It even cycles my 200 grain Lyman semi wad cutters if they are seated a thumb nails width higher the the cartridge case. The pistol looks good too! It has a gray green tint that looks like it's been parkerized but I understand it's been crecoated. Worth taking a look at. Your mileage may very. Tater PS I still favor my Series 70!

First thing I noticed. Still a great pic! Tater

Well Done ! Congrats! Love my MilSpec! 1911's are great! Tater

I've never bought from these folks. I just run a cross them while looking for a Mauser part. https://www.myersarms.com/store/ Good Luck, Tater

Beautiful Rifles ! Tater

Thank GJ, I bought the pistol several years ago from a friend who bought it used. It wouldn't feed or extract right and I bought it from him. I tried tuning the extractor and failed at every atempt. I ended up buying a wilson and problem partially solved. I still have the original extractor that I tried to tune and will try to tune it again. If I fail I'll try the Wilson. I have a friend whose farm is next door to a cop who claims to be a 1911 builder. Worse comes to worse I'll pay him to tune it. I have several 1911's that are 100 percent but would like the Colt to be 100% too. I will look forward to reviewing the links you sent me. Thanks for your help. Tater

My series 70 feeds and ejects everytime and mostly throws empties over my right shoulder. Every now and them an epmty will land on top of my head and very ocassionaly hit me in the face. I can live with the top on the head but in the face is a deal breaker. I always wear shooting glasses but it's still a great distraction. Extract, ejector, or something else? Any replies will be appreciated. Tater
