The JSOC has also had a Wilson Combat extractor installed and a Wilson Combat single side safety installed.

 

Well the MAC is all steel so that gets my vote. I worked in mfg. all of my life but the MIM process is one of the few I'm not familiar with.
Most molding processes are more susceptible to things like voids, not filling cavities, and probably more susceptible to process variations that can't be seen.

 

Plus I really like my Tisas 1911's.

 

So, you're selling these through Buds?

 

No, that’s the prices Buds had them listed as of today. I’m just comparing the 2. The TRP is quite a bit more than the Tisas. And I’m not sure the price is worth it.

 

Hard to beat tool steel for durability.

 

JSOC for my money. They clone vibe does it for me though.

 

JSOC would get my money, have 12 1911’s 4 of them are Tisas and no issues with any of them.

 

I know where this thread is headed. My vote goes to the Springer. It is a genuine article, purpose built with attendant fitting. It is quite servicable and has a standing reputation for shooting well. I actually voted with my wallet…TRP Operator full rail.

The Tisas is a modern attempt which is built to appeal to it being a reproduction of an unobtainable original, a wannabee, albeit with a decent brass bead front sight upgrade…a plus. It probably needed the WC extractor to run properly. Under the finish it is relatively soft, especially compared to the Springer.

I highly doubt either one has a match barrel fitted. The nomenclature is “match grade”, which for the last two decades doesn’t mean a whole lot. The Tisas JSOC has movement when in battery so its not a fitted barrel. From experience, the TRP probably has a closer factory fit barrel.

 

It didn’t need the WC extractor, but I replace all the triggers on my 1911’s to a shorter one. I have a local 1911 guy do the work for me. Since he’s in the gun, I have the new extractor installed and have him tune it. Works out great for me.

The extractor that was in the JSOC was a series 80 extractor, which I thought was odd. I just had the same work done to a Tisas B45. The extractor in that one was a series 70.
