A year ago I bought a Tisas Carry and within a couple hundred rounds started having a failure to extract the empty fired case.  It would happen randomly every few magazines.  I experimented with different mags, different ammo, made sure the gun was clean, removed and tuned the extractor, but it kept happening.  Finally installed a Wilson extractor and this MOSTLY fixed the problem but it can still happen if the gun is even a little bit dirty.  It happened a couple weeks ago and that was the first time in months and a few hundred rounds.  It wasn't sparkling clean but not super dirty either.  Maybe a hundred rounds since the last cleaning, if that.

Well recently I bought a second Tisas Carry, because hey they're cheap and I like having spares.  Shot it for the first time yesterday.  Field stripped and oiled it first, went out to my range, and in the first magazine, yep, a failure to extract the fired case.  Ran a second magazine, same thing.  I tossed it back in the bag and was done with it for the day.

I probably will eventually get a Wilson extractor for this one too and see how it goes.  But I have concluded that the Tisas carry is, for me, wholly unfit for carry and will be strictly a range gun.  I have zero confidence in it for personal protection.  I've gone back to carrying my first 1911, a Dan Wesson Specialist.  It has never given me a single problem. Awesome pistol.  Makes me more accurate than I really am.  

The Tisas will be a fine range gun and I'll live with the occasional malfunction.  It's 9 mil, so it's a good bit cheaper to shoot than 45.  I mean, it's a $400 1911.  It is what it is.

I have 3 Tisas. Two of them are 5” guns chambered in .45. The other one is the carry in 9mm. The two 45’s have been 100% so far. The 9mm had extraction issues from the start. I tried adjusting the stock extractor, but it didn’t seem to help. I finally bought an EGW extractor and it’s been 100% since then. Sounds like Tisas needs to address their 9mm extractors.

Bought 2 of the Tisas Match .45's to see what Tisas was all about and yea those extractors were crap.

Put in a Wilson Bullet proof extractor in one and it fixed that issue right up.

I was wanting them to be as good as everyone was saying they were, but they have pretty loose tolerances on parts so far = not even what I would call close.

I think they are OK guns if you don't have any other 1911s and just want one cheap for a beater gun.

I have a B9 9mm carry that developed failure to extract issues at around 1000 rounds . I had a few bobbles in the first 500 but I thought it was breaking in so no big deal. At around 1000  rounds it started failing to extract . Like you I tried to add some tension to the extractor but it only made the problem worse . I am currently waiting for an rma from  Tisas .  Btw the warranty process in a pain. This pistol was a gift for my wife .
I also purchaed an aviator in 9mm a few months ago that has had 0 problems with all ammo I have tried .  I thought great I will order another aviator . But in the first 200 rounds using norma 124 red and black box I had a stovepipe . I then tried norma white box and the pistol had stovepipes and failure to feed . I am taking the second aviator out again this weekend to give it another try .
I clean all  of my 1911 pistols before the first range trip and use generous amounts of oil .

I have yet to get through a single mag without a FTE. Probably around 300 rounds so far. Piece of crap so far. I’m going to try a new extractor.
I had high hopes.

In those Match .45 pistols the Wilson bulletproof extractor was = drop in and it is now working correctly.

Hope yours is fixed as easy.

EGW extractor was drop in, except for setting tension, and my 9mm carry has been 100% since. Like you, I couldn’t make it though a magazine with out multiple FTE with the stock extractor.

I have a 9mm carry that did the exact same thing, I replaced the extractor with a Wilson but I’ve only been able to run a few mags through it since.

It seems to have fixed it but we’ll see.

My .45 has been flawless.

Awesome. I’m hopeful now. I ordered a Wilson extractor and it should be here next week.

The wilson extractor seems to have fixed the pistol . We only had time to run 100 rounds but the pistol had zero failures . Heads up I did not get the wilson to pass the wobble test but it functioned perfectly . I used the same ammo for a function test as I had been using to eliminate any variables .

The Wilson extractor fixed the problem with my Tisas Carry.  So far I have shot 250 rounds with no issues of any kind. Thanks all for the recommendation to swap extractors.

"Carry" in .45 here, I had been having ejection problems testing with out the magazine. I found I really had to attack the pad on the extractor to get reliable ejection by hand as the extractor was dropping the cases. It did function with the magazine in place but I'm after perfection lately.  I'm not done testing and will update ASAP, weather permitting.

Update: At the range it's passing the ejection test with out the magazine in place. The Tisas 'slide stop' is binding things so much that it won't lift the slide stop on empty, I put in a spare RIA slide stop and it's working very well. This piece took a lot to get running, I had to tighten the extractor, then I had to reduce the hump inside the extractor hook as it was too much for feeding. The rim of the case has to slide over this spot. I also had to use some fine emery paper to hand polish the feed ramp and the breech face, these help the case rim slide under the extractor. It'll feed about anything now, including an empty case from the magazine. hth

Another edit: I totally forgot to mention I fitted an over sized slide stop to stop the extractor from clocking.
Best,
Rob

Are these the Gen 3's that is having the extractor issues?
Has anyone had customer service look into it?
