Jmob50 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 I received a Night Stalker, a 4.25” and a 5” today. I wanted to know how “standard” these were and I’m quite impressed so far. All I have to compare mags-wise are STI and MBX. The MBX do fit, but do not drop free without a slight pull. I believe this may have something to do with the enlarged slot for the mag catch but not certain. They may run but to me, if they don’t drop free it doesn’t matter. I wouldn’t use them. The STI’s fit perfectly like the OE Tisas magazines do and again, comparing the mag catch to the MBX, I believe this may have something to do with it because the STI slot is exactly like the Tisas’. Holsters. All three variants fit my Double AA race holster as well as a kydex that I use for 3 Gun(can’t remember the brand but can look if someone really wants to know). The Night Stalker fit a little snug in the kydex while the 5” fit perfect and the 4.25” was a touch loose. All were a little loose in the AA race holster but it could have something to do with the PT insert instead of the STI insert. Each were a touch loose but still locked in and would not release until unlocked. Trigger. Last thing that has been covered but I wanted to give my opinion anyway. The Night Stalker averaged at 5.1lbs while the 4.25” and 5” were 5.9lbs. Overall I’m impressed! I have stock and built STI’s, some Akai’s and an LSI, I’m admittedly a 1911/2011 snob and I still like these ALOT! If the ignition kits can be replaced with other 1911/2011 kits, then I truly believe these are going to be very popular soon! Now we just need EGW to get us an RMSc to RMR adapter!

Tokarev Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Aaron Cowan has his 2,000 round review of the MAC available for Patreon subscribers. He likes the gun. It shot well for him and he had no issues with the mount holding zero through his drop tests. The only thing he really complained about is the heavy factory recoil spring. Also the trigger on his gun is five or so pounds. Both issues are pretty easily corrected but he's going to leave the gun stock. At least for the time being. He's also maybe going to send it to Joe Chambers so a gunsmith can get a good look at what's inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timido Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 I've got a 5" Tisas so far so good. Threw some springs and a firing pin at it and tuned the sear spring from 5 to about 2.5lbs Dawson Sti magwell fits great. Irons for now . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tokarev Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 I got to mess with a Night Stalker the other day. The general fit and finish was pretty solid. Controls worked nicely. The trigger was crisp but rather heavy. I'd guess above five pounds. The owner said he hadn't shot more than 150 or 200 rounds through it but it had been working just fine for him.

mreed911 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Had to add a 1 degree shim to mine. Got the 407k zeroed AT the limit of travel. Will re-zero and see where it falls out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

392heminut Posted Saturday at 10:30 PM Share Posted Saturday at 10:30 PM I just picked up a 5" Tisas BR9 DS a week ago. It had a 5.5# trigger when I got it. I went to tear it down to work on the trigger and I literally had to use a hammer and a punch to get the hammer pin out! The pin was a tight fit to the hammer and was rotating in the frame when the hammer was cocked and uncocked. Once I got it apart I cleaned up the hammer pin with some 600 grit paper and ran a round needle file through the pin hole in the hammer a bit. Problem solved! I think there may have been some kind of burr or something in the hole in the hammer. I worked on the trigger parts, which seem to be pretty good quality stuff, and easily got the gun to a nice 2.5# trigger. I threw a full length guide rod in it when I put it back together just because I had one lying on the bench. Took it to the range and ran 200 rounds through it without a hiccup. I think it is a really good gun for the money! Something I noticed when I took it apart, the mag release is proprietary to the grip! The tab on lockscrew is located further in and the mag release won't work on the other 2011 grips out there and other 2011 mag releases won't work on the Tisas grip!

Timido Posted Saturday at 10:42 PM Share Posted Saturday at 10:42 PM Replace the mag catch spring lightens it up a little. I will probably drill and tap it and put a button on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tokarev Posted Wednesday at 07:52 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 07:52 PM My Tisas / MAC has a tight hammer pin as another user noted above. The sear pin is snug but not unreasonably tight. The safety is also very tight. I was thinking I might have to cover the left side lever in electrical tape and pull it out with pliers. Interestingly enough the LFA Apollo I picked up recently also has a very tight hammer pin. The sear pin in this pistol will almost fall out under its own weight.
