It probably isn't too much of a stretch to see some Tisas front sight options. I'm assuming the Tisas and MAC share the same front sight dove tail.

troupe Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 I agree. I noticed the street prices the other the day and they look promising. Allows a lot of room for folks that want to do their custom touches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's what Dawson sent me when I asked about suppressor height sights for the MAC: No sorry, we will not offer sights for that setup or this model. Thank you for contacting us.

shred Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Depends on the dovetail up front but that would likely do it. Dawson's only had the guns less than a week so maybe premature to claim they won't be making them unless there's a technical reason not to.

These are the guys who said the gun used an aluminum frame (later confirmed to be steel) and that the RMR plate had sights tall enough to work with most RMR pattern optics.

MikeNS Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 The MAC looks super interesting, especially given the “get in” price. Will be interesting to see how well they hold up over time. Certainly one to watch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glazer1972 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 I got the 5” Tisas Duty. It’s no Staccato but for 7 bills it’s impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my Girsan the barrel bushing was pretty much just there to keep the recoil spring plug in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racinready300ex Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 2 hours ago, mreed911 said: He specifically asked: the barrel bushing was pretty much just there to keep the recoil spring plug in place Technically he asked about "general barrel fit". Then followed up with the statement you quoted about the bushing in a girsan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 The 3 (2 Girsans and a Tisas) I messed with all had bushings that could be removed easily by hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokarev Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 My particular Girsan's bushing is sloppy in terms of fit to the slide and fit to the barrel. The bushing itself can be moved around inside the slide. The barrel can also be wiggled around inside the bushing when the slide is in battery. The pistol has been reliable through about 1,300 rounds but is probably about a 3.5 or 4" gun at 25 yards.

troupe Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 That would be a easy fix to improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokarev Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Bushings aren't particularly difficult to fit however the Girsan part is a bit unique. It appears to be shorter than a commander length and will take some shortening to fit. Note that the 4.25" Girsan is government model in stroke but is actually commander in length. To accomplish this Girsan simply took a 5" slide and cut it off three quarters of an inch. As a result there won't really be any OEM style parts available. A replacement barrel would need to be a 5" with the correct government lower lugs but then chopped at the muzzle, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokarev Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Something I found on my MAC is that the height of the lobe that keeps the slide stop from coming out is off. The lobe is about .243" tall while other slide stops I have measure .01-.015 taller. This means the slide stop can be pushed out of the gun whatever position the slide is in.

Jmob50 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 So does anyone have a range report on the Tisas DS's? Accuracy at distance as well as reliability? I think I'm going to get a few for inventory and plan to put one through it's paces myself. I may have missed this but it seems the conversation moved towards Girsan.
