What kind of sight cut is the front on these? If I get the 5" gun I'd like a FO front.

I didn't like the stock grip either. Swapping a Prodigy module on there was easy, and I like the color contrast. Besides the module, I needed the Prodigy MSH and mag catch button. Also, the mag catch spring lock from the Tisas won't work in the Prodigy button, but a standard 1911 spring lock will. And I did need to do some very minor filing on the trigger channel to get the trigger to slide smoothly.  Attached File |

Def going to have to wait awhile. The Tisas MSH may work with a little fitting. On mine, it was too tall and interfered with the grip safety. The mag catch is a slightly different shape and was too large for the holes in the Prodigy grip. And the channel for the spring lock is further towards the middle of the catch on the Tisas. Didn't take much to make the catch fit into the frame, but when installed it stuck way too far out the left side of the frame. Weird that Springfield wouldn't sell the catch or MSH. When I ordered my grip I also ordered those parts, and there wasn't a problem except the grip was on backorder. About a week later I got a shipping notice so it wasn't a long wait. |

Tisas mag catch on top, Prodigy on the bottom. Excuse the condition of the Tisas, I decided out of curiosity to see if I could make it work. So Dremel time it was, since I didn't care how it looked.
Anyway, the Tisas spring lock is in a different location, and the Prodigy has a lip on the left side to keep it from coming too far out the left side of the frame. bad2006z71, if you want the Prodigy mag catch, it's yours. Just needs a spring and lock, but those are cheap. It's used, came off my Prodigy (replaced it with an EGW version). For that matter you can also have my Tisas MSH so you have one to try and see if fitting it will work.  Attached File |

Red Dirt trigger for Staccato fit/works in the MAC 9 grip module. Assume it’s the same for the Tisas DS grip module.

Got my 5" DS in. Overall pretty nice.
Finish is good. Trigger is a tad heavy but great reset and no grit. Has a ledge style Slide stop which I like. Bad. Has a bit of rattle, which is to be expected at the price point. Barrel has just a smidge of movement if you press down on it. Thumb safety and frame/Grip safety area is sharp as shit. Mag release doesn't have any checkering, not a big deal but kind of stupid. Big negative possibly is it seems the slide notch for the slide stop is cut too small. The Tisas SS fits and locks up fine but a 10-8 is to big for the "notch". Could be an issue if the Tisas SS breaks. Wish it had a FO front, I may change it sometime. Grip module is ok. Not too big feeling but the texture kinda sucks. Will swap it out to the Prodigy grip I just got.   Mo Betta   |

I didn't care for the longer reach trigger on the MAC, so I swapped it out for the Tisas DS trigger . Much better reach and feel to me, though you do lose the overtravel stop adjust. Not a bad solution for $35.

Probably a dumb question but could a Carry slide fit onto a Duty frame?
I'd like to run an X300 light but have a shorter slide and threaded barrel. Tisas has replacement slides and threaded barrels up on the site so I though about pickup up a either a NightStalker or Duty and a spare Carry slide and threaded barrel to swap on depending on what shooting I was doing that day. |

Shot my 5" DS today. Overall it was ok. Sights suck. Im guessing the ultima lube universal is too thick for it. It was starting to have failure to feeds after 100ish rounds. Seemed like it was hanging up on the disconector pretty badly.

You can put a commander slide on a govt. frame but the frame has to be modified for full slide function. I wasn't aware that the MAC was using a toolless guide rod. You don't need a paperclip to diassemble? |

Sorry - the OEM guide rod that shipped with the MAC did require a paperclip. I have an Atlas in mine but it behaves the same with either guide rod on the Nightstalker frame (which is just a cerakoted Duty/Govt sized frame with a nicer trigger shoe and added magwell). |

Thanks for the clarification. The NightStalker also has a threaded barrel, fiber optic sights, and the magwell funnel. To add those items to a Carry DS would cost somewhere around $250-$275 based on the Tisas site. I can get a Nightstalker for roughly $100 more than a Carry so doing that doesn't make financial sense other than I'd get the 4.25" length that I want. I asked SDS if there were any plans for a 4.25" NightStalker or a threaded barrel MAC and was told not at this time and maybe for 2025 Shot Show. |

Little update.
Got my gun back after dead trigger. 35 days at SDS in TN. They noted that there was cerakote build up in/near the grip safety (inside?) that caused issues. Got it back, took it to the range. Same issue happened in the first 10 or so rounds but then it was seemingly good the rest of the day. I put around 60 rounds total through it. I did have a few rounds that failed to get into battery. They did fire when i hit the back of the slide forward. I took it home and lubed it pretty wet. Will report if I have more issues. |

@SDSImports
I'd love a 5" with full length dustcover. That 'slab' profile is to me the iconic 2011 look, and there is nothing available with a full length dustcover. This frame could then be re-used for a Turk-XC model with integral comp, which would sell unlimited units.  |

Taking my first steps into the 2011 world. Picked up my MAC DS9 during lunch today.
 Feels a lot like my Tisas 1911s so far, disconnector is catching a bit, trigger is a bit stuff but overall feels okay. Ive replaced the sear spring on my others and some shooting has helped smooth things over. Only disappointment I have so far is that the front sight is loose and literally falling out of the slide.  I was hoping to oil it and go to the range for a few minutes after work but now Ill have to wait a while. Has anyone had a loose front sight on these? Is there a pin that I am missing or something? The sight is very loose and can be moved by hand back and forth through the dovetail @SDSimports |

Havent shot either yet but the main pros for the MAC version: Bull Barrel Uses RMR footprint on plate Main downside to the cheaper version is optic options I think and bull vs bushing barrels if it matters. The biggest complaint I have is that both guns arent very grippy from the factory. The factory modules are pretty smooth on the sides. I will also probably have to swap out the extra long trigger |
