I have heard nothing but good things.
If it's as good as the Tisas Regent BR9 Hi-Power copy I have, it will be a definite winner!

I have the stainless SDS model and I love it. I got it for a little over $400.00. It was a challenge getting it to something I could love. I replaced the cheap plastic grips, mainspring housing, mainspring (17lb), trigger and sights (FO adjustable rear and FO front). Also, the grip safety did not work, so I had to get it repaired. After a fiasco with Taurus customer support, I didn't trust any off brand support, so I did all the work myself with exception of the grip safety. I still have less than $600.00 in the gun and it shoots like a dream, especially with my reloads.

My best shooting buddy has two, and they are fine. If I didn't have two RIA .45's (and bills to pay) I'd have one as well.

I've heard good things about them, nice that they offer them in stainless as some of us like the corrosion resistance of stainless steel. Too bad they are not offering any of them in a true Commander form. They did have 4 inch, bushingless bull barrels models at one time. One thing, though, is the trigger. Seems everyone reports the trigger is heavy, like 7-8 pounds, so you may need a little trigger work.

Tisas. The reported 7=8 pound trigger
weight actually mimics the older Colts
of WWII and years afterward. That
was the standard and could be thought
of as another "safety" under combat
conditions.
In three recent out-the-box
Colts I've tested, the triggers
averaged 4.5 pounds.

I've heard good things, the M1911A1 is a pretty good copy.
