Agreed, shoot it or sell it to a 1911 enthusiast who would just love to shoot it.
We had one member on our Sat match squad with one that had all kinds of issues with it for maybe 100 rounds (factory Rem ball ammo) by the time he finished it was doing better, main issue was not going back into lockup, when it worked, he shot it fairly good. Just guessing he needed a good heavier recoil spring and some lube. Not being a club member and almost 3 boxes of factory ammo it was an expensive day for him.
It is so hard to judge how good a gun is just from watching one example on the range.
Without knowing how the gun was maintained or the mags/ammo it can really be a challenge.
On my one example I thought the recoil spring was crap and replaced with a Wolff spring. But then it was not giving me any issues, I just didn't like it quality.

I may have posted this earlier in this thread, but a Springfield mil-spec or defender? would be my choice all day for a simple starter 1911A1 and has on several occasions. I still own one and its flawless in operation

Springfield makes good 1911"s for the price. I had a Loaded Springfield but my friend talked me out of it. I'm down to three 1911's Sig RCS and an old 70 series Colt Commander and a Les Baer. Currently eyeing a Springfield 9MM.
I h
I have more Springfield 1911's than any other 1911's. I like 'em. I have one that went East to Derr Precision, and had some modest work done to it. They are all MilSpec guns, with all but one the old style 90's guns the mil spec before they called them that. Been extremely happy with them. One of my best shooting 1911's is a Brazilian made one which makes me look like a good shot!

I'm also a Springfield fan...
I have them in Govt sized 45 (1 of my oldest 1911s from the early 80's) & 9mm ( a lightly altered Loaded target)
both are favorites, but I am even more impressed with the Bul Armory 1911's.
Bought my Cmdr. Sized 9mm & feel it's a better 1911, with quality & features well beyond it's current price.
If I didn't already have so many 1911's, I'd buy a few more of them..

I do not like giving money for products produced by nations that do not like us...why pay your enemy? We are paying Russian for oil, China for solar panels ...all I can say is Let's Go Brandon.

To be honest the Tisas Pistols should be free of charge. Turkey receives an average of $124,103,154 in foreign aid from the US per year. This includes direct funding, delivery of goods, technical assistance, educational programming, and health care. This is why I refuse buying any foreign pistols that leech on our dime, this includes the Philippines. But this is America, always a personal choice.
I don't like the way the link is designed on the Rock Island. It just looks like it will break, and is not to original spec design. I don't trust it, although I haven't shot one enough to know if it will live or not to substantiate that opinion. I just know if it isn't to original design it is suspect. Tisas is more original.

Don't know where or how you came to thew idea that RIA aren't to to spec.. (?)
I've owned 2 of them & have had 0 issues swapping out parts for them.
If they weren't to spec, accessory parts wouldn't fit or function properly.
My experience has been the RIA's are (used to be) lower cost versions of a 1911,.
Proof of their quality is reflected by the increase in their prices ,as they've been on the market
and developed a wider following. Also, the increased number of models offered is another sign of the company's success.
Though they are not made in America , it's getting harder to find things that are..though some products have a history of being made here,
more companies are becoming foreign owned..

Hi,
Your shutting the barn door after the horse has already left!
We (American Taxpayers) have been screwed by our own,"Leaders", for Decades now.
I would not worry at this stage of the game of getting a bargain pistol from Turkey or the Devil himself, at this stage of the game! LOL!
