Excellent work. Some history for you. The 1911 is the first gun designed to be built from a random box of parts from random companies. That was a major factor of adoption by the US Military. It's not that shocking that your box stock Tisas frame and box stock Remington/Para slide work together. The parts that need hand fitting are generally parts designed for maximum accuracy vs being a drop in part. So your Bar-Sto barrels, custom triggers, etc need a little bit of fitting. I've always heard that a 1911 that rattles when you shake it is a reliable 1911.
Looks pretty rad. makes a guy want a long slide .45. thank god for the turkish currency being super inflated, the tisas 1911s are higher quality than most people care to admit. I think when people say 1911s aren't lego guns that's coming from the mentality of when colt and USGI were the standard and by comparison today, those have super loose tolerances. I'm not surprised everything dropped in on your Tisas, their tolerances are better than a LOT of companies out there and definitely better than colt, at least in the half a dozen or so I've owned.

Just needs a little polishing. And since you're a 1911 guru, that's a series 80 slide on a series 70 frame with a series 70 extractor.
Good work
I saw your groupings with the 1911 you tried out, glad to see you have finally given in to your inner Boomer.
get off my lawn
This is one of my future builds.
This worked out better than I expected to be honest.
Neat project! Are you planning to make any changes to the frame/grip?
Not yet. Going to shoot it a bunch and get it running 100%. If anything, I could swap the grip module for an alloy or steel version.
10mm gang
Which 10mm mag did you go with?
40 S&W 2011 magazines work with 10mm. This particular mag is a Staccato branded 40/10mm mag.
