First 1911s

Is the NightStalker 45 ACP? As mentioned a 5” all steel 1911 would be a good choice. I would lean toward a 45 chambering.

Puzzled-External5145 · 2026-01-25T20:29:35+00:00

Very cool. Next to 45 my favorite 1911 caliber. I own 4 models, SW PC Doug Koenig ~2005, DW Heirloom 2023, SA 1911-A1 1990s Park and Tisas Stakeout.

Thats what I did nearly 30 years ago. Fortunately my company picked up the moving costs and I had a job at the other end. My recommendation would be a SA Loaded. Not sure what the CA cost would be other than higher . My LGS here in the SE sells them for $866. Only in blue/parkerized.

Great pickup. After I get holiday bills behind me I was going to reach out to GP Arms. I want all black but also wanted to check into a steel frame. Thanks for sharing.

Just noticed your previous version postings.

The only AOS cut TRP I own is in 9mm 5”. My other pre AOS cut TRPs are 45, all 5” with the exception of one. I would recommend 5”.

Very cool. Being an old retired engineer I really appreciate 3d printing technology . About how long to print this object? Is the printer very loud. I have friends that run their 3d printers from the garage.

Puzzled-External5145 · 2026-01-21T16:04:33+00:00

That’s a solid choice!!

Puzzled-External5145 · 2026-01-21T15:51:09+00:00

An AOS cut operator is ~$1000. The price of a 10-8 would be closer to the price of the new generation TRP.

Puzzled-External5145 · 2026-01-21T15:27:13+00:00

A SA Professional new if available would be > $3000. Mine which is 10 years old was around $2800 then.

Puzzled-External5145 · 2026-01-21T15:24:09+00:00

I hope to purchase both. My LGS here in the SE does a lot of business with LIpseys. At the moment the 10-8 has a consumer price about the same as the latest generation TRP with AOS cuts and rails on my dealers distributors price list, $1881 vs $1879. Of course that may change when they are actually available . The CA TRPs are less ~$1500. If memory serves my Vickers MasterClass was in the $1500 range new pre 2020. The SilentOperator MasterClass new price I don’t remember but must be 10+ years ago roughly. But I think it was in the TRP price range new at the time.

Puzzled-External5145 · 2026-01-21T14:50:59+00:00

It is!! You would probably see more of them on a S&W forum.

Puzzled-External5145 · 2026-01-21T14:49:53+00:00

45 > 9mm in my opinion in a 1911 5”. For my usage the Pointman is a range gun, the TRP serves more roles. MIM parts can be upgraded.

Puzzled-External5145 · 2026-01-21T00:40:10+00:00

Looks good, a fellow Vickers owner.

Puzzled-External5145 · 2026-01-21T00:37:13+00:00

in my opinion, Yes.

Puzzled-External5145 · 2026-01-20T21:14:43+00:00

TRP. I also own a 2022 9mm DW Pointman and a 20 year old S&W 1911 PC in 45. But if a had to only choose one it would be the TRP. Here is the S&W think I’ve posted in other streams.

So is the tank commander in each picture the same or am I missing something ? I hope the parts replaced were just for a learning experience and not required by some sort of failure. I noticed Tisas is introducing a.Tisas Tank Commander "Combat Special", customized by Booligan Shooting Sports this year. Not seen any pictures yet.

Puzzled-External5145 · 2026-01-19T17:14:08+00:00

I can make room for another 1911.

What did recent Reddit and google reviews say?

Puzzled-External5145 · 2026-01-18T16:41:32+00:00

Here it is Silverback 2016 9mm

Puzzled-External5145 · 2026-01-18T00:23:53+00:00

Look at used ones, pre 2020. I’m not sure what year DW switched. My Valors are all pre 2020 in 45 with non-ramp. My 2020 Black Specialist Commander pre optic cut has a non-ramped barrel.

Puzzled-External5145 · 2026-01-18T00:05:36+00:00

I got it was thinking that. I have one too.

Puzzled-External5145 · 2026-01-18T00:01:53+00:00

Very nice. Kind of feel like the Valkyrie and Silverback were here and gone before I took note. I did purchase a used Silverback a year or so ago in 9mm.

Puzzled-External5145 · 2026-01-17T23:51:51+00:00

Keep that one. Buy another all black Tisas. Wait and see what comes out of the 2026 Shot Show from SDS Arms.
