It’s a crapshoot
This is a very broad statement. I haven't seen a Tisas or RIA that wasn't serviceable. On the other hand I've had several Springfields and Colts with functional problems and defects that you'd expect with a cheaper gun, but that's just not the case. The only reason Tisas and RIA are cheaper is because of cheaper labor costs overseas. They still have top notch quality control.

If you want to customize your 1911 most 1911 gunsmiths won’t work on RIA guns. They are a crapshoot on fitting parts. One common issue with RIA double stacks are the ejectors are terrible. They don’t pin them they are glued. I got one in a trade and it would cycle anything reliably. I replaced it with a Wilson series 70 and pinned it. Issue resolved. This is one way tgey save money.
I own Several Colts, Springfield’s an ED brown and waiting on a Nighthawk Custom Colt. The Springfield’s are best bang for the buck. Very easy to fit aftermarket parts. They have a really good customer service department and their Operator line is feature rich for a gun that’s $1100 OTD.
