@@dannyshark7822 definitely

@@KylewithanL I think they look great, but if fashion is your thing maybe try no sights? All about function here. These work well.

@@GatCat function over form. Just an observation

@@rhsking05 it’s solely about business. Companies go through the hoops to sell in CA if they see a profit. Companies like Rock island sell cheaper 1911’s but have the capital to start the expensive process. Perhaps tisas does not? Colt decided not to on the other hand. It’s a mixed bag. The blame is on CA for this.

@@johnrus7661 thank you! I would like to get a revolver.

@@GatCat They are fun to shoot and own even if you do not carry it necessarily. But being able to shoot a wide variety of firearms to the level needed to defend yourself definitely helps you become a more broad and accomplished shooter. And you can see the pro's and cons of the different platforms. Which helps give a more balanced view especially as a reviewer.

@@harrycallahan9733 it’s quite possible. I imagine they have had contracts with various mag manufacturers over the years. Thanks for the info on these ones.

@@johnfontenot7861 it’s not much different looking, but how it all fits together is nice. If you’ve ever handled an Ed Brown or Wilson Combat. It’s kind of like that. Just not a complete custom like those 1911’s.

@@D5quared91 proper cheek weld, have you used these sights with this gun? If so, are you familiar with the 1/3rd co-witness or the inclusion of a raised cheek weld?

@@Dan-x4o3m cartridges are typically what interacts with the feed lips. The ramp of course making contact with the round. It all plays a part.

Agreed. The feed lips were designed around ball ammo.

@@rchavez1107rc it looks to be an 8 round stainless. Could be Mec-Gar, Ed Brown.

@@RightDucman I appreciate that.

@@GatCat INCREDIBLE thank you sir!!!

Honestly at this moment in time I would recommend your first 1911 to be the Springfield Prodigy. 9mm obviously. I have a 4.25” myself with a Holosun 507C. Regarding “purism” what is a 1911? Is it the original John Browning design of 1911? Or is it the 1911 A1, which saw the most military use? Can it have a beaver tail or long trigger? What about sights and grips? Can it be a series 80? The list goes on as every single component has been changed through the years. Personally, my deep appreciation for the handgun is what caused me to mention the sentiment regarding 45ACP. Considering all aspects and potential changes/upgrades to the 1911, 45ACP is simply rooted in its inception and pedigree. So why choose 1911 if not for the connection to the greatest American handgun of all time? Any “purist” touting the sacrilege of 45ACP most likely owns a MSH that is straight. Or upgraded sights or whatever else. So that, forgo the 45ACP and go nuts.

@@GatCat no doubt a purist would say the 1911 starts with the 1911, not the predecessors (which were 38, not 45 i believe) and maybe even claim it has to be a colt design. mostly they would probably say it has to be a 45 ACP. i get it, i say it's not a mustang if it has an electric motor. i'm sure they'd argue the A1 is a true 1911 because of that spirit and direct connection, perhaps even saying some of the changes were because of the military and not necessary improvements over a long history to remain relevant. i get gatekeeping and have no problem with it. if someone says it's not a 'real' 1911, i'm not going to argue with them because i fully understand the passion involved.

@@ryanbarker5217 well I was agreeing with you basically. Also, who cares what anyone thinks right?

@@GatCat oh, i wasn't really taking it as a debate, per se, just conversating. anyway, if i have the time tomorrow i'll run up to the gun shop near me that has the garrison i want. i appreciate the advice on the prodigy, but after all the research and having held the garrison, i have to pull the trigger on a purchase eventually. if they have a prodigy i'll definitely check it out, hold some more handguns while there just to be sure while hoping they don't mention the words 'glock 19' to me. not sure what the paperwork entails exactly, i think the waiting period is 3 or 4 work days.

@@ryanbarker5217 the garrison is a great value I think. I know that some of springfields newer 1911’s used plastic triggers and a lot of MIM parts. However, these differences will most likely not cause the gun to function any worse. If you have never fired a 1911 9mm you are in for a treat. It’s like shooting a BB gun. Very easy.

I agree.

That’s a very valid point. I have a G-Sight laser sight (dry fire training). After acquiring those, I never needed snap caps other than purpose of a video or to demonstrate to a new shooter. Hopefully I answered your question, certainly a valid one.

I never understood “unpacking” videos. Are people interested in the packaging being opened? The warranty card? Seriously, I have no idea why there is interest in anything other than the product itself.

@@GatCat i dont know either. I just found it funny, that you show the product without unpacking it, like its less than those unpack videos :D Usually iam interested in seeing the product itself :)

Nope, only radioactive tritium does that.

@@GatCat thanks man, I was somehow confused with their website. I guess these would be awesome during the day. Bu I only have one gun hehe

@@rafars2246 so these sights combine both fiber optic (for day time and bright conditions) as well as tritium (self illuminating for dark conditions).

I think Colt might still make a nickel plated 1911 but of course that is not CA “safe”.

Oh ya, well RC Cola is better than Coke and Pepsi!

Yes I believe it does, I could be wrong though.

Thanks! Ya sometimes I look at high prices of guns and opt for the base option. Then after all the after market parts it comes out more than the pricier one I initially passed on.

Thanks for reaching out on the response a couple months ago. I have a question about the rest of the 1911 CA complaint. Is springfield the only ones that have that key lock on the mainspring?

I’ve since attempted to upload videos showing how to make modifications, but YT ends up taking them down or preventing views. I used a dremel and needle file.

That really blows. UA-cam is not what it used to be to be. Well if you ever move your videos elsewhere please lmk I will follow. Twitter, instagram, fb, oh and Rumble!!

Can you send the video personally? People say it's simple but I need A better look. Or i would buy one from you for my Colt Defender. I'd send it to you and pay shipping both ways. After I updated my springs that plunger is way worse than ever!
