I was referring to their basic models. I don't recall what they call them these days.

Neither did I. I hope someone will fill us in.

There's a higher chance of issues with PSA stuff compared to brands like S&W, Ruger, Colt, etc. A lot of people send things back to PSA due to problems with them.

This isn't what instructors of classes say when hundreds of rounds are fired.

I wonder if this is due to Colt's employees belonging to a union.

Are these Tisas 1911s as good as the Springfield Mil-Spec or recent lower priced Colts?

Interesting. Could be. I think they'll replace it if it breaks. I'm guessing you ran ball ammo though them. I wonder how they would work with flat nose or hollow point. OTOH, ball ammo would be ok for suppression fire if SHTF. Sorry you have to contend with that.

I just ordered some ACT mags, which may be the same mags as Mec-Gar mags in general, which in turn may be OEM for S&W. Not sure.

I acquired the impression they are the most popular mags outside of OEM for Glocks.

Those steel S&W guns are more reliable than the M&P polymer guns? Too heavy trigger or recoil with the Glock? Looks like a 3.5" barrel. I think the tubberware and 1911s are typically used in competition. I don't know if the older S&Ws are.

The metal and aluminum framed pistols aren't made anymore (AFAIK). IIRC, there was 1st through 4th generation models. Are they still popular with some concealed carriers and competitors?

The stock mags for the compact (not the subcompact) protrude a little from the grip. I just looked about a third of an inch. I guess that means the ETS mag will protrude at least an inch further than the stock compact mag. I didn't know ACT mags made magazines for the M&P. I'll need to check it...

If the ones for the Sig have not been bought in recent times, send them back to ETS for replacement ones. They may have made subtle changes to those mags. Another idea is to send them back to ETS and request ETS mags for another firearm you own.

You could call or email ETS. I know ProMag isn't liked by many but they may be available and run well enough in your 10mm for range use.

I recently purchased the M&P Compact 2.0 in 9mm. It comes with 2 factory magazines. Factory ones purchased separately are expensive. ETS mags make magazines for the M&P 9mm. They are 17, 21, and 30 round mags. I don't recall if they make 40 round ones. I know even the 17 round ones will stick...
