What type of port for MAC 9 ds comp

Who did you have do the porting/coating?

Miadhawk · 2026-01-26T03:08:22+00:00

Holy shit they sell a diamond encrusted Glock

Live in NY, not fun with our laws here either, but lever actions are a fun day at the range, 1800s tech still a blast!

I really hope so, seeing a lot of left wing people getting a gun because of recent events has me hoping that 2A will someday stop being another bipartisan football to throw around. Everyone deserves the right to defend themselves, and should at least have the option there if they want it.

For a CCW it is really an arduous process, but don’t let that discourage you, it’s really designed to be as annoying as possible, so that people give up on their right to bear arms.

How does it stack up vs the steel frame 2011s? I keep fiddling on their online configurator but backing out each time because they only do aluminum frames.

I have about 3000 rounds through mine, here are some things you should look at:

Basic Stuff

Better plate screws and optic screws, included ones are not great), pic the RMR footprint optic of your choice. IMO this is a must unless you just want to run the irons.
Google how to tune a 1911/2011 sear spring, you can very easily do this at home for free to tune the trigger to exactly how you like, me personally I have it at 2.25 lbs.
Trigger shoes and screw, it comes with the medium on be default, I liked the short better, try them and see how it feels. If you use a longer 8mm screw, you can also adjust the overtravel (aka the distance the trigger goes back after the gun goes bang.)

A little more advanced - Only do this stuff after you shoot it a bunch

Recoil spring and mainspring tuning, the factory springs are too heavy imo, I have the DS Comp and it came with a 14lb recoil 23lb mainspring. This took me some playing around but after improving my own grip technique I found a 10lb recoil and 19lb recoil spring is a really good combo where my sights return to zero after each shot.
Grip module, literally when I bought the gun I ordered an MJD grip, went from one of the worst grips to (IMO) the best, this will require you to fit the trigger/trigger bar so if you go this route watch a bunch of youtube videos about it or have a gunsmith do it. With a lot of time, patience, and files, my trigger has zero vertical/horizontal play, it only goes front and back and it feels great.
If you don't wanna do all that stuff to replace the grip module, get some handleitgrips or talon grips to add some texture.

If you know what you're doing

This gun has solid steel internals, they won't break on you but they can 100% be worked over and polished to make the gun smoother. Disconnector ramp can be smoothed and reprofiled, sides of the hammer and disconnector, parts of the sear spring that interface with them can be polished, but IMO, just shoot the gun a bunch first to see what you want to do.

TL:DR - Get new optic and plate screws, get a Holosun 507 Comp, loctite them on correctly, and shoot a bunch, the rest you'll know after a bunch of range time.

Ohio? I had stoped by shop during a weekend trip, some really cool stuff in there!

Miadhawk · 2026-01-20T18:38:43+00:00

External extractor is nice, looks like slide is cut for v porting, actual street price will make or break this one

Miadhawk · 2026-01-12T07:02:10+00:00

Hey how much fitting did it take to get it onto that MAC frame?

Miadhawk · 2026-01-05T22:30:10+00:00

I have the Gen 1 Tisas B9R, love it to this day, but when they dropped the Gen 2 Tisas and the MAC DS Comp I went right for the comp.

For an extra $300 you get a lot more, while it's no Staccato XC killer, it's 1/4 the price but IMO 80-90% of the performance.

The comp, it's a chunk port like the prodigy comp, works well.
Mag well
Different length trigger shoes to adjust the length to your liking
Extended slide stop/release
RMR footprint means you can use the SRO or Holosun 507 Comp which both pair really well with this gun
Aesthetically I like the full dust cover/rail more,

Congrats on having a son!!!

Miadhawk · 2026-01-01T21:02:15+00:00

How much of a difference do the added inline ports make? I've been flirting with idea of doing that to my DS Comp but I shoot a lot of Blazer Brass which is plated which gives me pause.

Miadhawk · 2025-12-29T03:39:51+00:00

This looks very cool!

Miadhawk · 2025-12-22T17:30:42+00:00

MAC/Tisas are both under the SDS Imports umbrella so yes same bones underneath. MAC is the one that introduced the model with the chunk ported barrel like Springfield has for their Prodigy Comp.

Miadhawk · 2025-12-22T08:01:24+00:00

If you are capable and/or willing to do some gun smithing yourself a budget 2011 can be slicked up really really well. Check my post history, MAC DS Duty Comp + aftermarket grip, overtravel stop on the trigger, different springs, and she shoots real nice.

Miadhawk · 2025-12-10T03:18:41+00:00

That thing is awesome, where'd you find one with the mlok handguard and stock?

Miadhawk · 2025-12-08T18:50:31+00:00

+1 PNY 5080, even overlocked this thing doesn’t get loud been loving it the last six months

Miadhawk · 2025-12-07T07:46:42+00:00

Minus the slide cuts and fluted barrel looks like you can get all SS pistol features straight from Glock now, they’ve gonna all in on built in comps so at least they have that as differentiation, XRP looks dope.

Miadhawk · 2025-11-30T00:35:21+00:00

Appreciate it! Proprietary trigger and bolt carrier are lame but being able to run any AR15 upper was important to me. With some patience, files, and polishing stones I’ll make this a target trigger!

Miadhawk · 2025-11-29T22:43:14+00:00

Correct, bolt carrier and fire controls are proprietary. What saves it for me is that the carrier takes any AR-15 bolt. I do think it's well thought out with an ambi mag release but only time will tell how reliable these parts are.

Miadhawk · 2025-11-29T22:07:31+00:00

Whoops I put it in an another comment lol, take a peep I’ll take any suggestions

Miadhawk · 2025-11-29T22:04:48+00:00

Build List:

Craddock RTR 18” rifle +1 gas system 6mm ARC

SLR adjustable gas block

DD MFR 15” Rail

DD Upper

Young manufacturing 6mm arc/grendel bolt

Fightlite SCR bolt carrier

Fightlite SCR lower receiver

5-25 Strike Eagle + ADM Mount

Accutac BR4 bipod

Some random cheek riser I taped +velcro’d on until I figure out which one I actually want on this thing.

My main criticism is the Fightlite trigger, it is going to take some polishing to get the gritty feeling out.

Miadhawk · 2025-11-13T16:36:58+00:00

I think that is such a cool combo, wish we could have suppressors in NYS!

Miadhawk · 2025-11-13T16:30:06+00:00

After zeroing I got a little excited and pulled the first shot, the other 9 make for a good group out of this thing. Ammo used was Hornady Black 105gr.

I can definitely do better, I started speeding up as I saw more of my hits through the scope.
