Thanks man. I'm looking forward to hearing your review on the Tisas. I'm still torn between it and the RIA

I have an American Classic in Commander size. I've had an RIA, and I'd take the Classic with my hindsight.

Like KR has said, it's a Colt in Metro Arms clothing.

I don't think you can go wrong either way. I've heard great things about RIAs (especially customer service).

Hoping to get to the range in the next week or two.

Update on the TISAS:

Took it to the range this afternoon. Shot about 100 rounds. Only had one issue with premature slide lock on the 10th round. I switched mags and had no other issues the rest of the time. Pistol is more accurate than I am...I'm not experienced at all with handguns and was getting very tight groups at 10 yards and all headshots at 25 yards which is more than good enough for my purposes.

One other note: after I broke it down and cleaned and oiled everything up, I noticed a VERY slight amount of slide to frame play. Apparently this has little bearing on accuracy but just wanted to throw that out there.

Overall extremely happy with the pistol. Great quality for $400. Still all 5* reviews on Bud's (60+ last I checked), though they're unfortunately out of stock now.
