[QUOTE="retrieverman, post: 3764844, member: 24452"] A lot of people bad mouth low end 1911’s, but as long as they’re built to spec, they should run as well as higher priced guns. I’m of the opinion, that Wilson, Baer, Nighthawk, etc are building their gun somewhat contrary to JMB’s original “intention” for the gun design. Before you flame me for that comment, hear me out. Today, people think their 1911’s need to be bank vault tight to be well built and accurate, but if you look at WWI and WWII 1911’s, there is going to be quite a bit of “slop” in the slide to frame fit which is why they worked in the conditions they were used in. I have a Wilson built in 1997, and by today’s standards, it’s a rattle trap, but I’ve never had a hiccup of any kind even when using junky mags and cheap ammo. :anyone: I‘ll be surprised if the OP’s Tisa doesn’t run just fine which is all that really matters. :thumb: [/QUOTE]
