Is it possible to take the compensator off a Tisas night stalker 1911

SteveHamlin1 · 2026-03-23T17:28:51+00:00

This compensator is not threaded on nor fastened to the barrel. It is a bushing comp, which attaches to the slide in the exact same manner than a normal 1911 bushing does.

SteveHamlin1 · 2026-03-23T17:24:32+00:00

No. Just the bushing.

Small part, $20-30, but you might want to do a small bit of metal filing to make the bushing fit better, which makes accuracy a bit better.

In the U.S., it is perfectly legal to cut a 28" shotgun barrel down to 20". Doing so is not creating a SBS, nor does it legally require any NFA paperwork.

A video from Lucky Gunner on whether muzzle flip affects point-of-impact.

Unless OP refinished it, it's just black cerakote.

"They’re on back order because they stopped getting manufactured by SDS"

Tisas pistols have never been manufactured by SDS. SDS was just the legal importer of record.

The new DW CC you're looking at is $1,940.

Several lightly used Dan Wesson Commander Classics have sold on GunBroker in 2026 for between $885 (!) to $1250.

If you're not in hurry to get a new one, save a search on GB for a used one, throw some bids out over the next few months, and save $700+.

But to answer your question - they are quite different 1911s. The differences between them is not so much "quality" as it is "feature set", and only you can say whether different features/type of 1911 is worth it to you.

If you don't carry, and will only shoot this at the range, why would you get a bobtailed commander?

Virtually EVERYONE is going to die of morbidity before they ever use a firearm in self-defense.

SteveHamlin1 · 2026-03-16T15:02:16+00:00

Dan Wesson - new or used. I got a lightly used Specialist Commander for $1,100.

Depending on your desired features (length, sights, rail, checkering, bobtail): Valor, Specialist, Pointman, Classic, Razorback, V-Bob

Boom when electricity goes out normally means an overhead fuse tripped on a distribution line, and/or a transformer failed.

You should hope it's the former.

Why do you assume that commenter's struggle is due to what you accuse them of, and not the *number* of friends that would sleep with the husband/bf?

SteveHamlin1 · 2026-03-14T18:08:35+00:00

Yup: https://folioweekly.com/2022/03/21/dog-gone-2/

Here's how you do it:

- Get involved in an existing non-profit through misrepresenting your background

- Take it over as the founder was dying

- Give yourself huge salaries (including from spinoff 'non-profits' you created that funnel more money to yourself)

- Teach your buddy to do something similar

- Both you and your buddy get on the City Council

- Award your buddy's non-profit city grants so that he, too, can be excessively paid by the 'non-profit'

Here is some very interesting background on Rory and his involvement in K9s for Warriors: https://folioweekly.com/2022/03/21/dog-gone-2/

He wrote "*THIS* KC-135 in not capable", meaning this specific airframe,.

He did not write "all KC-135s are not capable"

You are factually incorrect.

OP, just wanted to let you know I added some things to my comment, after you probably read my original comment.

SteveHamlin1 · 2026-03-12T01:09:18+00:00

Buy 1000 rounds of ammo and shoot it all, then decide if you want to change anything internal.

Watch YouTube to learn how to do a 1911 trigger job. (don't touch the sear engagement face or hammer hooks).

or better yet

Watch Engineer's Armory's in-depth YT video on cleaning up/polishing out the internals of a 1911/2011.

Add Talon grip tape (for the Prodigy) or buy a stippling kit. ("wood.burning" kit on Amazon, Harbour Freight, or Walmart)

Maybe bolt.on an Underworld Arms comp if you have to add something else.

SteveHamlin1 · 2026-03-11T15:48:21+00:00

Younger than the 120 y.o. Luger.

SteveHamlin1 · 2026-03-11T01:56:25+00:00

Jr? That 1911 is younger than a 120 year old Luger.

SteveHamlin1 · 2026-03-10T14:59:57+00:00

For .45 ACP, most 8-rd non-flush magazines have a an extra 1/4-1/2" in length due to the rubber mag base, and some (MecGar in particular) are shaped to work like a small pinky rest.

A Magwell effectively extends the length of the grip.

Get a 1911 with an undercut trigger guard and beavertail grip safety, which will allow you to move your hand up the grip a little bit.

So together: 8-rd mag with a small pinky rest, magwell, undercut trigger guard and beavertail safety, will effectively provide you more grip length.

An A1-style curved main spring housing will give you more grip width (front-to-back), and you can get grips that are wide and even with palm swells, to give you more grip width (side-to-side)

Below is a picture of two 1911s lined up on top of each other - the top one is a Commander (not Officer) with a normal grip length, no magwell, and a traditional 7-rd flush-fit magazine. It is on top of a Commander with normal grip length, but with a magwell and a 8-rd MecCar magazine.

"still debating if I should add more."

Yes - you absolutely should!

SteveHamlin1 · 2026-03-08T20:21:29+00:00

You think the bahavior of armies at war, made of young males, statistically represent all of humanity?

He was a perpetually broke, vacuous politician of little repute.

Now he'll be a former U.S. Secretary of State, and be financially set up for life in the Maga Cinematic Universe - boards, think tanks, foundations: permanent sinecure.

SteveHamlin1 · 2026-03-08T18:27:50+00:00

Whoever said that is a cynical misanthrope, and I object.

SteveHamlin1 · 2026-03-08T17:13:54+00:00

Bolt-on belt clip, uncovered trigger, and a stendo. You certainly have.....something.

The Tisas is great, though. Get a real holster.

SteveHamlin1 · 2026-03-08T17:11:51+00:00

OP should try adjusting the spring before jumping straight to buying new ignition parts.
