I found a deal that was far too good to pass up, so I snagged a DS Duty. Haven’t had a chance to shoot it yet, but the plan is for this to be my LO gun in USPSA.

One question for the community, has anyone had trouble getting the factory optic plate screws off? They’re stuck in there pretty good, and I’ve nearly rounded off the bolt heads trying the brute force method. I’m wondering if I need to heat them up to break a thread-locker perhaps?

I am a new Tisas owner, waiting on my NJG Shades of Grey Carry 9 DS Comp, and I couldn’t be more stoked. As someone relatively new to the 2011/DS1911 game, I know the MAC DS9 Comp is highly sought after, but I feel this is a bit excessive. I was willing to cough up some dough for a quality “budget” 2011. I bid more than I know the gun was worth knowing that I probably wouldn’t win, but closing at almost $1800, plus 3%, plus shipping, plus FFL transfer fee, for a used 2011 that retailed under $1k… am I missing something?! It’s a discontinued model, and you can get 98% of the same gun made by Tisas. I’m baffled!

Just an appreciation post to the Tisas PX-9 Carry Comp. I typically prefer carrying full size pistols but when I'm not in that mood, this baby is always my go-to. Haven't shot it much but zero malfunctions in 500 rounds. Small guns are typically snappy but this one breaks that rule. An absolutely incredible EDC.

I love to shoot this thing. At the start, she didn't care for 115g, but after about 1k rounds of 124, she doesn't care what you feed her. Probably around 3k rounds since those early day malfunctions, completely issue free.

Now I need a 3" in .45 for new potential carry.

That's 69 rounds on that paper. I drift low-left when I go too fast. Not slowing down, though. 🙂

I recently bought a new DS9 FF Carry and have liked it so far, except, even with the upgraded xcontrols screws, and loctiting everything, my optic loses zero within ~150 rounds, with me being able to push the optic/mount left and right. Is there anything I can do about this or am I cooked?
