TISAS ?

I think this has been mentioned on here before.

It is done to prove the $2000 Daniel Defense AR15 doesn't do any better than the $500 PSA when rapid fired with multiple magazines in succession or thrown off a garage roof a few times.

Doesn't sound like much of a real "test".

It is, if the entire premise of buying a $2000 AR is because it's advertised as more durable than the budget AR.

I think you will agree that nothing is designed or manufactured to be unduly abused, regardless of the cost. Anything can be destroyed, just ask the YouDupe half-wit torture "testers". Again, not really a "test" worth much in the eyes of the practical-minded.

One of the four linchpins of "milspec" is as follows, and is simulating a firefight where many mags are dumped and the rifle falls in the mud and simulates hard combat conditions:

Testing and Evaluation:

Mil-spec products are often subjected to rigorous testing to ensure they meet the required standards and can withstand the demands of military use

You're speaking now of military testing, rigorous though it may be. It's still not simpleton YouDupe torture testing. I'm through as this is not worthy of argument.

Ummm yeah...In the 20 years they have been in business, Palmetto State Armory has sold hundreds of thousands of either complete rifles, complete lowers or stripped lowers. They are not "out of spec", or they'd be out of business.

I've looked over & over & NOWHERE did I see where *I* mentioned PSA. ANYWHERE.

I own several PSA lowers & all have been first class.

So you're attempting to say I wrote things when in fact, I did not. You've proven yourself to be an untrustworthy individual, someone I have NO time for.

Good day.

Pot, Kettle, Black?

Just sayin'

Which part of "I've learned" that was difficult for you to understand?

I thought we were having a fairly productive thread on Tisas pistols and their comparative value. Then the children started fighting at recess.

Too bad.

Trooper is right; that devolved fast.

I saw this thread and was very interested in it as I purchased a stainless Colt Government model on sale at the PX last month. For the record I own a Government model made in 1927 (my grandfathers), two "classic" models (one government model and one commander) and a Remington Rand 1911A1 (1943). All of them, to include my current model function flawlessly. I qualified for my carry license here in Texas with the commander out of the box in '14. The instructor was an old Ranger, and a Glock 19 guy, but was really impressed with my commander. My granddads old government model is amazing, still shoots well, but has that 20's era wide hammer that'll pinch you pretty nicely.
But back to the subject, when I purchased my stainless Colt (it has series 70 stamped on the slide, interestingly, my other two classics don't), the PX guy showed me a Tisas as I knew CMP was offering them. I liked it, and was curious to see what owners say about them. Before things took a sad turn on this thread, I got the impression that it's a pretty universal thumbs up from owners. Considering one now in fact. I don't have all Colts because I'm a "fanboy", it has just ended up that way. I've carried my Opa's government model for over 40 years, he bought it at the PX in Tientsin China in 1930, just seemed like a thing for me to do like he did. He carried his in Europe in WWII, I took it back to Germany in 1984 to my first duty station, never had a problem with a Colt Government model or the one 1911A1 I have. Maybe I'm just lucky. But that Tisas is kinda' calling me
