Happiness is a new gun 2

Ok, what was the question again.........oh yeah Sig.

The safety appears to be in the on position. With the hammer down I can push the safety up into safe position. If I pull the hammer back (I don't think we can say cock around here) it's on safe. So you have to go off safe, lower the hammer and then put the safety back on. Not sure why one would want to do that but one can if they desire.

Well that’s interesting!

I like it. Probably won't buy one, but it looks awesome.

Picked up my bargain Tisas from Turkiye today. Fit and finish are very nice. Trigger feels pretty darn good. Safety is not as positive as I'd like but with the good holster I have it should be safe to carry. It's not a Dan Wesson but if it shoots as well as it is put together I'll be right pleased.
I bought the aluminum grips that are on it to replace the plastic ones in came with, and to sort of match my Kimber Triari. The grips on the Tisas are very aggressive, which is a good thing because there is no checkering on the front or back of the grip. Not a perfect match to the very nice G10 grips on the Triari but not too bad either.

Those grips do mimic the Triari’s grips and slide!
I think the Tisas are a good bargain. I watched Hickok45’s review of them once. If I remember correctly, it shot very well for him. I bet you could shoot the snot out of it and probably never break it. I like the forward serrations too!

It has a forged frame and slide. For a range gun I'm thinking I'll like having some of the recoil soaked up by the extra weight. My hands aren't as tough as they once were. Actually no part of me is as tough as it once was. Getting old sucks.
I have a box of 230gr+P that I want to use up in it, that just didn't feel real good running through my P227 I've never been particularly sensitive to recoil but me parts is breaking down I guess.

I hear you and know exactly what you mean! I’ve not shot a P227, but I’m sure the Tisas frame and slide are quite weighty (is that a word?) in comparison, so you are probably correct about it’s ability to mitigate recoil. I’ve never used them, but there’s always shock buffers too.

You can stretch out or replace the thumb safety spring and enlarge the little divets it in the thumb safety itself to make it much more positive. I've done that to several. I like them to click on and click off pretty positive.

Man that sounds like a great solution. Simple, but why didn’t I think of that?

I've used the DYI TALON rubber grip or grit tape on the front strap with great results. There's a guy on eBay that sells the TALON stuff under a generic label and he also has pre-cut sheets ( I use them on the edge of my phone case for non-slip). I prefer rubber on carry guns and I use the grit on my competition guns if they don't have front strap checkering.
