Tisas 2011 - How does it compare to Staccato?
Have you ever fallen in love with a gun you couldn't afford? I think we all have. For me, it was the Staccato P. Luckily, Tisas has entered the scene with an entry-level offering at a fraction of the price you would typically pay for a 2011. But is it any good? Actually... it's GREAT! Watch to see why...

FN510 - The Best Value in 10mm Handguns
Переглядів 1,6 тис.2 місяці тому
When FN announced new handguns in 45acp and 10mm, I was intrigued. We haven't had any handgun larger than 9mm from FN since 2012, with the FNX-45 Tactical. Better yet - factory 22rd magazines would be offered for the 10mm - talk about fire power! The kicker is the gun is based on the 509 platform, which is a striker-fired polymer frame handgun that I frankly am not a big fan of. However, I stil...

dude I'm pissed I've just been wanting to get an ak as my first rifle and have been eyeing the k usa rifles for a year or two now and now I gotta hunt around for one
This model was $1400 without sale pricing and standard black furniture. Just so you have a ballpark figure. I will say I’ve handled some more Arsenal since this and they do feel incredibly smooth. But I’m sure as this one is broken in more, it’ll get even more smooth. Other than the minor quality control things, their actual tolerances are tight and they’re all very reliable from what I know. I’d love to find inexpensive of their KP-9 / KR-9 Vityaz clones too.
AYO ADRIAN!!!!!🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼
WELCOME to BHARAT....
Everyone knows the ZPAP M70 is the best Ak out ! I have the 103 it is no where near as good as my Zpap
Zantacs isn’t bad, but some of their parts are proprietary unfortunately. I consider them to be similar to the nicer of the current PSA AKs. Some of it just depends what you plan on doing with the rifle and if you plan to modify anything.
How’s the recoil on that?
It’s actually not bad at all! The combination of the Browning’s muzzle brake and recoil pad make a huge difference. This actually recoils less than an older 270 we have that haze no brake and not much of a recoil pad.
MY 509's are so much better than the Glocks, I'm impatiently waiting for the 510 without an optics cut and normal height night sights.
They’re never going to do a non optic ready model, but you can just buy standard height sights for it and have a gunsmith install!
My HK45 ambi safety/decocker works fine with the gray guns short reset kit, fyi.
Just got the Mod 2 with pistol grip, would have got the M4, but my brother has one and after seeing all the mods to make it the way I wanted it and the weight I went with the 1301 mod 2. I will put a light and 1/3 cowitnessed sight grom GG&G with a HOLOSUN on it see how it runs. I do like the trigger on the 1301 mod 2 and the action is smooth and fast. overall, i would take the 1301 again if i had to pick a favorite.
It’s so hard to pick between the Mod 2 and M4 multirail! I actually parted with this older 1301 and bought a new M4. I think the 1301 recoiled much softer and the trigger was so crisp it was almost like a rifle. The Benelli is not like that. However, although they are both owned by Beretta, I still feel the build of the M4 is better. I just picked up a new Mod 2 in store with the factory Mesa Tactical pistol grip and noticed it too was canted. The same issue I had on this 1301! My OCD drives me crazy when the recoil causes the stock to cant and you can tell where it’s supposed to line up with the trigger guard, but it’s off just a bit… I know it’s a petty gripe, but it drove me crazy. Their model with a traditional stock attaches differently and doesn’t have that problem. If I did it over, maybe I’d do something like that or even try their option with the Chisel aftermarket stock.
@@WalterRitchey That chisel mount looks cool i wonder if the recoil is substantially more with that small frame?... I opted not to get the chisel stock because I shoot left handed with a rifle and most folks are righty... with the chisel stock you are limited to one side or the other for the cheek riser... i want something that friends and family can use as well and have fun with.
Badddddddddddd azzzzzzzzzzzzzzz gun ,probably one of the best battle handguns ever made
Slightly push w/ your right hand while slightly pulling w/ your left hand. And interlock your left fingers overtop your right knuckles and c clamp firmly
The guys that make fun of your shooting are doing so from the basement of their parents house
A052 the best track semi slick tyre..100 Ron fuel and full gas baby..coilover set up hard
A bonus tip! One week leading up to the event, spend at least 5 minutes watching various UA-cam videos of people driving laps around the track you're going to. See if you can remember the numbers of some of the corners. Realize that the person in the video may not be driving the track correctly, but it's a great way to familiarize yourself with the track layout leading up to the event! I also highly recommend reading the club's rules and tech inspection requirements before the event.
Tisas makes a new 57 that looks like the rock
if i have the og version can i get the rail system separately
Yes, if you can find one of the rails, you can put it on an OG and you can put the OG handguard on the new one too.
Briley makes a very nice one. 3 Gun Mloc forend comes in 8” and 13”…
LERA LERA 🩷💃🏻✨
Shit ammo and shit mag
The same gun today is $350 today
The military clone I’ve seen for $300, anything under $400 for this version is a great buy! Just be aware you may need a little gunsmithing to make it run completely flawless.
Beast of a handgun. I have 3 USP45Ts
💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪🫶it
Looks like they added common upgrades, making it look 922r compliant out of the box. So, if you have a Gen 1 modded to 922r already, there isn't a reason to change to Gen 2.
Agreed, they didn’t reinvented the wheel. Just a long overdue update of what people were already doing. Nice to have it all ready to go out of the box for first time Benelli owner like myself!
922r is a fraud.
P30L with HK comp and 22rnd mag ext is just gangster! I just wish they made a RMR option without having to spend $380 on sending it out for custom work.. with that said, with the trigger upgrade and the rmr upgrade, it’s one of the best handguns one could own imo. You get what you pay for
During your reload, you are looking at the ground too much. Try resting the buttstock on top of your shoulder, and hold the barrel up more parralell with the ground whilst you reload using the violin method, so that you can better keep the threat in your line of sight/peripherals.
Great feedback, appreciate this!
@WalterRitchey You're doing fine for self-defense. Unless you're using a competition set up on a competition course, the "John Wick" competition style of reload isn't your best bet for an engagement. Reloading from cover or at least concealment with your non firing hand is more important, to get the weapon back in the fight as quickly as possible, even firing from the low ready mid reload, should a threat interrupt you. Topping off as you go, before you're empty, etc. No one active duty is reloading an M1014 Taran Tactical style in CQB. Ultimately, do what you want, but I wouldn't worry too much about how you reload, as long as its done safely, and reliably.
Any experience with PSA Ak?
I had issues with the American Eagle rounds as well. Then years later I bought another box to see if it had gotten any better, and no change. There was literally only two common guns chambered in 5.7 for years, and they were making ammo that causes failures in one of them, for years. LOL
My opinion and or understanding IS 180 g for relyability may lean toward 200g . The mrd 510 has a heavier spring that mitigates the recoil better than the tactical , the mrd fn510 and the tactical fn510 are more reliable or as relyable as anything offering in 10m . The trigger stinks , looking forward to trigger upp grade . May be a bit finicky in extreme cold , that may be true of any automatic .
I agree to this. Everyone at my gun shop thought the barrel length was short on this gun, but it shot accurately. As soon as I started breaking in the trigger better and getting over some of the recoil anticipation in my head, it shot some pretty good groups IMO. I know the 509 had striker breakage issues so I’m hoping that has been resolved for this model. I haven’t heard of any issues yet. I saw a couple guys shooting 10mm Glocks and if they limped worsted it even a little, it would have a malfunction. So I will credit FN for making what seems like a totally reliable 10mm offering and at a decent price point.
I think you gave a great job on explanation of money and triggers and range time
One thing about this 510 is pretty much everyone who reviews it says it shoots good and straight.
🔥
Can u update or uograde trigger on these? MAN DUDE!! now u got me all paranoid on trigger.. I have a sig emporor Scorpion and Kimber Target elite 2 1911"s .. i live both those triggers am I going to be bummed out on this? Ill prob pick it up next week from the gun shop ! Ive been all.pumped up about this gun last few days now!!!! , LOL Um now u gotten me lil anxious about trigger and I am all ready spending money on few things for it in my head but now pumping the brakes!!
Oddly enough Apex makes a 509 trigger, but doesn’t advertise anything for the 545 or 510 platforms. As of right now, I believe you’re stuck with the stock. As much as I hated it at first, after 200rd or so I was getting what I consider pretty decent groups considering the caliber and all. It’s definitely usable, but I don’t love it. Also to my understanding, FN doesn’t recommend dry firing their striker guns as it risks breaking the striker. I think that’s a bit absurd, since Glocks, HK, etc don’t have a problem with it. Just kind of depends what you want it for. If it’s a hunting sidearm, the capacity is great especially at the prices I’ve been seeing these at (they were over a grand a year ago… ouch).
I’ve seen the fn510 mrd on gunbroker for $1,000 with an upgraded trigger and comes with the holoson red dot. Just ordered mine haven’t seen it in person yet
@@piristhay5412 interesting! Do you remember who made the trigger? Apex was the popular one for the 509. I figured it was only a matter of time.
M4 vs 1301 pls
I sold my 1301 to fund the M4, but here’s a breakdown. The 1301 caters to what people want in 2024. You can mount what you want, controls are all oversized, ergonomics well thought out, very low recoil, very fast, versatile, just looks and feels great. The M4 is built like a tank - not that the 1301 isn’t reliable in any way, but polymer gun with an aluminum receiver vs the Benelli is no contest. The updated model I have here helps bring the M4 up to modern day with optics mounting, a rail, etc. Some have commented saying this shotgun kicked me around like a little girls and honestly it kind of feels that way too… Maybe it’s just training and fundamentals, but my 1301 with the Mesa Tactical stock and Limbsaver pad had no recoil. You could mag dump buckshot and it was nothing. I’ve had second guessed about whether I made the right decision or if I should’ve bought the newest 1301 Mod 2. I saw one in person last week and I noticed that brand new the stock / pistol grip was slightly canted and didn’t line up with the trigger guard. That was one of my gripes with my 1301. I wanted a pistol grip stock, Mesa Tactical is kind of the go to and what Beretta is using on their factory Mod 2 now. Mine always was coming loose on me. Looks like they still have some kinks to work out. On the other hand, the Benelli has none. You either love it or hate it, but for the price you’re getting the world’s toughest semi auto. They even have two pistons so hypothetically if it got so dirty that one piston malfunctioned it would still run with just the other one. That’s hard to knock. If I bought a second tactical shotgun, I would buy a M3 which is semi auto / pump convertible or an old school 90s M1 Super just because of how smooth they are and the cool factor.
I don’t think Tisas is a budget 1911. Tisas uses top notch milled steel internals, forged steel slide and frame and use up to date CNC machines to strict milspec pattern. Tisas price point is to get their products out there.
By budget I mean price point, not build! It certainly has some quality components. I do think it had some issues at first, but the malfunctions I had after getting it back from warranty were likely my fault. I wanted to give Tisas another chance and bought one of their new 2011. I’m having so much fun with it that I’m testing it out a bit longer before doing a video, but I’m really happy with it!
0:25 what video?
It's ambidextrous (ambi-dex-truss) 😉 Just sayin'.
I feel so dumb for saying it wrong my whole life lol thanks!
You flinch like a 7 year old girl.
Lol
Use the Mec-Gar mags that came with the gun.
I used both of those as well as some Wilson Combat 8rd mags I purchased. They performed about the same for me.
@@WalterRitchey Same here.
Auction is live! Watch and place a bid here (no reserve!): bringatrailer.com/listing/1994-acura-integra-27/
What model# did you get? Can the choke tubes be swapped?
I’ll have to check on the SKU, but these do not accept chokes. There’s some interesting testing of fixed open bore barrels vs barrels with an open bore choke in it and how they pattern buckshot. It seems like if you don’t need to tighten the choke that you’re better off with something fixed. The cons would be that you can’t thread in a door breach muzzle device or a shotgun suppressor that attaches that way.
Nice 👍👍👍
Haha nvm i fount it
Btw way better fourm it seems
My only con ..is definitely the mag seems to not wanna go all the way without that little smack on the bottom. Is that normal for higher capacity guns? If not what may cause that
You seem more comfortable with the 5seven over the rock. You may be squeezing the rock harder since you're familiar with 5seven ..maybe more time and you won't feel much difference between each other
The magazine thing was odd, sometimes I would think it was locked in place and it would pop out. To be safe, I started inserting the magazine with the slide back much like a MP5 reload is done with the bolt locked back. As long as I did that it was good. It’s a little funny I actually like how the Rock grip feels slimmer as opposed to the blockiness of the FN, but I do feel more comfortable with the FN. I’ve handed that gun to a relatively new shooter that had never fired one before and on the first mag he had a great looking group. I think that’s a pretty natural handgun to pick up. I enjoy shooting 22 too, but they get gummed up with lead quickly, the 5.7 are just so clean and reliable they’re fun to practice with! It was easy to burn through some ammo testing it out haha.
@@WalterRitchey how crazy that the problem ... I'm really happy it got corrected..what was the turn around time
Well it impossible to make everything perfect 100% of the time...what great to hear is that they handle it and you were able to hopefully change your opinion on it. I EDC it and I love it. 2 question if you dont mind me asking 1. What ammo was you using? 2. Was this one from the Factory Defects purchase? Thank you for keeping it honest. Im glad you were pretty respectful. Did you also upload a new video
NVM, in hearing you only got 1 mag lets me know the answer to my #2 question. How crazy you happen to receive a defect..but It was really the mag not the gun.
It was one of their Blem models, which I didn’t notice any cosmetic blemishes on it. Even after getting it back with a new mag I had a couple hiccups, but they were typically things you could clear quickly. I tested a lot of Fiocchi 40gr fmj as well as some FN 40gr vmax and AAC 40gr fmj. In my FN Five-Seven I’ve also run all three of those ammo types with total reliability (only one malfunction in my time of ownership). I feel like PSA did a good job overall on this handgun. I really don’t like the take down procedure and I do feel like they could’ve spent more time and money on designing higher quality magazines. Overall, they seem like they’re improving quality from where they were years ago. My biggest fear is how high of volume they do and how many different platforms they’re developing at the same time. I’d like to see them really focus on working out any issues with their existing models before moving onto their shotgun project, their 5.7 sub gun, etc.
You're actually selling it ?
Yeah, it's hard to let go, but it's time.
Thanks for the vid though. Useful info.
They didnt have a longer flashlight for your p30l? Maybe one that sticks out front another 6".
lol it’s more ridiculous on smaller guns like the regular P30, but the X300 is a tank so it’s the only model light I currently buy. Have a few of them.
@@WalterRitchey I got ya. I was just goofing on ya.
Check out their Raider. USMC clone. It's superb
I owe 5 Tisas firearms & also bought the PX-9 Carry for my wife. Every one of them run flawlessly. And the PX 9 literally puts the Spnfld XD it's cloned after to shame.
I got my Mod2 for less than 1400. If you look for the right deals you won’t pay anywhere near MSRP
That’s an awesome value!!
@@WalterRitchey I can’t lie, it took serious patience and watching sales, but it paid off!
Exile armory has them all colors. I think around upper $1400 mod 2.
Put binary trigger on it then u can have full auto m249 at home version 😂
I've used both in competition, currently using an M2 but my results were: The SLP is a heavier gun, it 'handles' the recoil better, and so, while it's operating system isn't as fast as the blink, it allows the shooter to more quickly get back onto target imo. The Beretta's operating speed makes up for it's comparatively snappy recoil profile. It's light and handy like the Benelli, and it shoots faster than the Benelli. But the differences are TINY and I can load the Benelli faster so I stuck with the M2. All of them are great though, too bad FN didn't keep producing/updating their excellent shotguns!
Great breakdown, love hearing some real world experience with multiple platforms!
