Tisas ain't perfect IMHE.

Meh... It feels like it's a starting point, and that I have to finish it. I'm convinced that the slide spring is pretty soft and should be replaced with something stiffer. I've a DW VBOB 10mm and have compared the 2 springs. The DW is much stiffer and shorter. I'm going swap them and see how the...

Amen boys, Amen.

Personally, I'd look at Dan Wessons. Their quality beats Kimber. I've had/have a few DW's. They perform fantastic. My favorite.

I think that Kimber has aimed at the " bling" market. They have really gone overboard (IMHO) on the finishes that they offer. The basic gun is good, just not great. Personally I'd rather spend my $$$ on fitment instead of looks. It DOES seem to work out well for them though.

Yes it's true. I seem to have the worst luck when it comes to the Pistols made in turkey. My Girsan hunter was a complete POS. My Yukon was not near that bad. Still have some slight issues with it that I hope to work out. Some people say that I shouldn't complain given their price. Well, I...

Why you wouldn't use multiple services to check for the same firearm is beyond me. My list includes Wiki arms, GunBroker and gun zone. I check all those when looking for a certain model. It's somewhat strange to say, but in the last 10 years I have spent almost $25,000 on gunbroker. I don't...

They are very high priced.

Tisas is decent. I had trouble with my YUKON, but after insisting that SDS look at it, they pretty much fixed it. They ended up replacing the entire slide/barrel. I wish that they had adjusted the sights that were terribly off. I had to buy a sight pusher and it's now pretty close. I do have...

Looks like once again, 10mm beats 45! ;)

Good to hear. Back when I 1st looked at the EMP4's, Id heard some complaints about the contours reliability. Sounds like yours escaped that malady.

Turns out that my son has decided to try something else (apparently a trait that he got from me). He has envoked the " dad gets 1st dibs" clause and is returning it to me. I shot it yesterday. What a sweet shooter!

I'd check WIKIARMS and GUNBROKER.

Don't mince words
