Looks like you need an upsized barrel link there…. But what do I know…. Any slide slop does not necessarily directly impact accuracy. But that barrel not locking up tightly sure as heck will.

One thing I've always been entertained by on the firearms forums is the lengths some folks go to just to criticize one model of a firearm, and then, based solely on a sample of only one out of the thousands that leave a factory. The waste of bandwidth! The wear and tear on keyboards! The hyperbole! The "facts" that really aren't fact. But most of all, the emotion by some and the defensiveness by others. It's better than network television or People magazine.
If I gave up on a particular platform or manufacturer solely based on only one firearm that I had first-hand experience with (not anecdotal from some anonymous internet poster) which had issues (even if it turned out to be a total lemon and unsalvageable, which is not the case normally with 1911s), there's not a major manufacturer out there whose guns I'd ever spend money on again.
Guess there's just a lot of quitters and haters out there.
In the meantime, keep those memes, GIFs and videos coming...

And you're the generation of lead paint and smoking in the car with the windows up. Hmm.
You should review your own comments before you reply. How did you almost shoot yourself in the leg with the sights to the sky and magwell to the floor?
...HUH?
Upright position, sights to the sky, magwell to the floor, not pointed right or left... so... how did it almost shoot you in the leg, again?
Oh and we know you edited your comment to say 45 instead of 90.
That isn't what I said at all. I said you experienced a malfunction and apparently had to hold the pistol in such an awkward manner that you were pointing it at or near your own leg (your words). If you have to do this to clear a malfunction, YOU SHOULD REMOVE LIVE AMMO FIRST.
Again, please re-read your own comments before replying.
You said you were racking the slide with the gun at a weird angle so the SPENT casing wouldn't land back in the chamber. How did you come to be manually ejecting a spent casing, if you didn't have a failure to eject?
Again. Under what circumstances is this likely to happen?
That is not what you said originally.
Let's review.
1. You said the firing pin and hit the primer hard enough to set off the round IF YOU RACK IT WITH THE GUN POINTED DOWN.
2. You say because of "Tea Sauce" you almost shot yourself in the leg.
3. You said you held it at a 90 degree angle, then go back and edit your comment to say 45 instead of 90.
4. You are currently saying you held it with sights to the sky, magwell to the ground, pointed at the target with the "accidental" discharge happened... but what about the part where you almost shot yourself in the leg? And the part where you said the problem occurs when you release the slide while pointing the gun downward?
Are you tired of lying, yet?
Let me strip this down to brass tacks.
"If you rack the slide on a Tisas with the muzzle pointed low the firing pin can hit the primer."
"Because of Tea Sauce I almost shot myself in the leg."
"Holding a pistol upright/straight/sights to the sky/magwell to the floor.... aka pistol is not being held to the left or right at all, straight. And while holding the pistol perfectly straight it's being aimed at 1/2 a 90 degree angle aka a 45 degree angle."
Liar. Master class troll, or liar.

I enjoy calling out liars. It's one of my favorite things to do on the internet, especially when they make it so easy by not even hiding their contradictions.

I just held a Tisas and did not shoot myself with it.
Just to let you all know.
Just to let you all know.
Did you hold it at 45° first? That's pretty important
A little hard to see exactly how much but the slide to frame slop looks normal.
The barrel slop is not. I hope they take care of that for you.
Glad to see a followup on this.
Old saying "fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me"
Guns are too expensive and not complicated technology to not get right the first time, though I would judge based on the warranty experience but if that doesn't fix it I wouldn't buy another.

45* but with the sights to the sky and magwell to the ground and not pointed left or right, but half of 90* which is 45* so on an angle but flat and straight, but 45*. Duh.
Man, that sure does get the Corn Popp'n!
So that's what boomers call itMan, that sure does get the Corn Popp'n!
