1911’s in general, 9mm versions specifically

[mills0713]

Update on the Tisas commander 9mm.

Swapped the sights for a .180" tall x .100" wide front and the Novak cut adjustable rear from Dawson. The .200" tall front would have been a better choice in retrospect but I'm hitting where I want with the rear bottomed out so I'll roll with it.

I've been watching videos from Ben Stoeger/Joel Park and Mark Smith and doing some dry fire practice. The target focus shooting is a bit different but has definitely improved my accuracy. ~800 rounds through the gun so far with no firearm related malfunctions (had a shitty fiocchi 115gr squib that barely engraved into the lands)

This is the first time I've really enjoyed shooting a handgun. Here are a couple FBI instructor qual drills that I count at 271 and 272 from this morning.

15m slow fire with 135 +p Critical Duty, I called the 2 bad shots.

I picked up a Tenicor Certum for appendix carry them I'm happy with.

Who cut your commander slide for the Novak style sights?

Also, did you install the beavertail grip safety yourself (assuming this is the Tank Commander)?

EDIT: Nevermind, I just found your previous post. Nice build!

Reeds has the brand new DS Warrior 9mm on sale for $899, your local Cabelas will price match.

Enjoy

Tempting...I really want a Commander length version...

Do we (I) need a 2011 support group thread? I posted some time ago about the risk of buying 2011s and replacing all of my pistols. I can’t seem to find it, but @Formidilosus said something like “this is the way”. Prophetic. I’ve got the C and CS and am already trying to justify the P by dreaming about how I might sell other pistols.

I still have problems

Yes.

I've been spending too much time, with intent, on evaluating TTI Sand Vipers, the new Viper, and the Dark Forge Reaper. Even an Infinity. It's getting dangerous.

My justification?

"Well, damn...if I put money into one of those, then I'd actually have to finally see what USPSA or IDPA are all about..."

It's like a crackhead getting a fine, custom-crafted crack pipe in order to justify upgrading to opium.

Now I have to go research all of those.

Except the crack pipe and the opium.

Thoughts on how the C and CS compare?

Too early for me to weigh in, as I’ve not shot the CS yet.

I definitely like my P211. I've felt a couple of Kimber 2k11's recently as well and they seem quite nice.

This was sent to me today.
I couldn’t just not share it.
Enjoy

Pretty interesting way to give visual feedback on trigger control

 

[RockAndSage]

If anyone's looking, Gunprime's got killer prices on some of the Kimber 2k11s - $1590 for this one.

 

[fwafwow]

Quick question. Has the Staccato CS changed so that 2024 and pre-2024 are different? I'm looking at the Mach 1 for a kydex option (and may still get a leather one - the TT Gunleather one for my C arrives today).

Yes they made the frame fatter so it is more flush with the slide.

That is a great price, but I don't think this is one of the comp'd models that I hear are excellent. Just a heads up, I almost grabbed one of the other colors thinking it had the compensator.

This came today from TT Gunleather.

Damn man, that turned out nice...

Can’t wait to wear and break it in. Matching belt to boot. The RDS is a bit close to where the belt goes through the loops, but it doesn’t affect the draw. It might limit how deep I can seat the holster. Need to wear it and see.

Total time was 7.5 weeks. Not sure if ordering the belt made it take longer.

But I may just get another TT for the CS in AIWB. I am getting annoyed at the kydex search. I thought I had decided on a Mach 1 but I think it’s designed for the prior CS. And for the cost of some of the kydex options, I can get another TT anyway.

Did you ask if it’s for the ‘23 CS? When I just see CS I assume it’s for the newer ones.

I hadn’t looked at the Mach 1 but that single clip design seems slick. Almost makes me want to ditch my light (but also my CS is ‘23).

I think it would work for you. It says just “CS” but I wanted to know for sure. The response made it clear they think the CS hasn’t changed. (Not faulting them, it may be that Staccato is a small market for them.) It was in my cart and now back to the drawing board.
