ProTsc-1911 - Hands On

[Vulcanator]

Hi Guys,

I took a bit of HD video of my TSC 1911. Make sure you watch the video in either 720p or 1080p for the HD quality.

Enjoy!

I thought long barreled pistols had to be a certain length to comply with the U.K. Firearms act?

They do. The TSC 1911 has a 12" barrel which is hidden under the barrel shroud (shaped like a silencer) and it also has the counter balance rod coming out the rear of the mag well to make it over 24" in total. You can't see of feel the counter balance when you shoot which is a bonus. At the end of the first video you can see the bar as i unload the gun. Its just handy that its position means it usually hidden by your arm.

Didn't I hear you had problems with some parts bending on yours ? What was the problem.

[ShootingChannel]

I found that the guide rod was rubbing very slightly which gave it a slighty rough feeling when I cycled the slide. I've taken it apart and just turned it up the other way and its fine now.

I would ditch the guide rod and go with the standard recoil spring and plunger set up. Easier to field strip with no loss of accuracy or functionality, which is the standard rationaliztion for the full length guide rod.

I've had my ProTsc 1911 for a few months now and after aprox. 10,000 rounds it is still doing very well. Mines set-up with the black hogue grips and Shield Mini Sight.
To anyone looking at getting one I can certainly recommend fitting the magazine bumpers and buying twice as many mags as you think you'll need
As for accuracy, last week at 20 yards LSR I shot an 85 unrested with it, using a Shield Mini Sight; so certainly no complaints! It seems the more I use it the sweeter it shoots.

I did however find within 50 rounds that I prefer to shoot it without the TSC black dimpled barrel shroud, so I'm looking at selling it. It cost me £55 + post and is mint, so I'm asking £40 posted. Please pm me if interested, to avoid messing up this great review thread.

I love mine, great fun.

have read that people have removed a spring or part of a spring to get rid of the magazine safety?

its annoying that you have to have a mag in it to decock it, makes a bit of a mockery of showing clear on the line, then having to put a mag back in to drop the hammer

anyone got any info or advice about changing that aspect

mines got home made barrel shroud, and hogue grips, shoots well, just looking at making a side mount rail to put a small red dot on the top
