Well…we picked up one of the Tisas Raiders in 9mm. Looked like a fun clone gun. Especially for the price. And..it appears at that price, it immediately broke. Best I can tell is the 9mm variants of the Raider are plagued with the same hammer-follow issued that is the subject of the world wide Tisas ..read more

Barn Construction Pics 4 OK, time for installment 4 of the Range Barn construction. It’s hard to believe we broke ground on this late November and it’s still going on. But this has turned into a full blown commercial building / warehouse at this point. Highlights: Plumbing in. Electrical in. Insulation is in. All basic ..read more

Assessments: After shooting the Tisas 1911a1, I was left with an impression that the sights are tracking left. Not low left. Just left. It shows up fairly consistently across 3-5-7-15-25 yards. Obviously at varying degrees of angle. Hardware: The USGI 1911a1 sights, in-particular the front sight, present some challenges when compared to modern pistol sights ..read more

Second run with the Tisas USGI clone. 28 yards. USGI sights. After doing this, I have come to two conclusions. One, that rounded front sight really does suck. It doesn’t provide a sharp top of sight line for precision shots. Second, I am having to hold this gun pretty far to the right to get ..read more

Tisas 1911A1 – 9mm – First Shots Ok. So hear me out. I intentionally targeted this gun since it is chambered in 9mm. We already have plenty of 45ACP guns in the library, including full customs and even a WWI MILSURP. What we don’t have is a USGI format of gun that is chambered in ..read more

I have expressed some pretty pushy opinions about Tisas 1911s in the past. Specifically I have harped on price. In short, it seems like they provided good value; but have ever so slowly crept up in price. Negating that calculus. But recently something Tisas offers caught my eye. It’s kind of a fantasy pistol if ..read more

Took these pics a little while back when I first saw the 2311 in a local FFL. At the time, I wasn’t planning on buying it, just sharing some images. Within a few minutes of getting it out of the case, I felt like this warranted inclusion into the reference collection. The main reasons being ..read more

This video is a little, humorous, inside baseball that originated with Kraken’s visit out here a number of weeks ago. Along those line, he posted a video demoing how his old Smith & Wesson guns will feed empty brass into the chamber. So…not to be outdone, the Wilson EDC X9L can not be denied! Feeding ..read more
