Trying to choose between a Tisas 1911 and a M&P 2.0. Looking for opinions

[Lch207560e]

I As the thread title says I am trying to choose between the two. The factors are: ability to carry (only when rarely needed) and accuracy.

Once I do I need to know the best way to sell the deselected gun. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated

Depending on your size, a full sized 1911 will be harder to carry concealed. I had a 1911 and loved shooting it but also had a comparable size Sig P220. The Sig was just easier to live with.

But more than the gun, which caliber do you prefer . Assuming the 1911 isn't 9mm.

I'm 5'8", 160# and have no problem concealing a government model.

Welcome to the forum. Good luck with your decision on which to carry. As stated earlier, keep both.

As someone that recently entered the world of 1911s, albeit with a Springfield 9mm version, they can be a bit finicky and have a somewhat limited capacity for the size. From a carry perspective, I would venture that the size, weight, and reliability is in the M&P 2.0's favor. It does lose out on coolness though. It's like a Toyota Carolla vs a Chevy Nova.

Whichever you choose, get plenty of ammo, get familiar with the gun without ammo around, get some training, and practice. A good gun belt and holster will make all the difference in how comfortable it is to carry.

Good luck with whatever you choose.

Noting your location as being Washington, and your question about selling the gun that you don't choose, I'd factor in the magazine law in WA. If you keep the 2.0, assuming you bought before the magazine law, you'll have a standard capacity magazines. You can get a 1911 whenever. Resale on a 2.0 with no magazines wouldn't be that great.

Aloha, Mark

Not really…. I carry a gun that weighs over 44oz everyday I walk out my door.

 

[Member 53328]

If your going to carry it….

Which one are you most comfortable with? Which are you most efficient with? Which one do you have the most confidence with? If your life is dependent on the firearm you choose then choose wisely.

You could easily conceal carry either of those guns.

Tisas 1911 I'm not familiar with but the M&P 2.0 has a greatly improved trigger. I've shot one and liked it. if you can get both of them and shot them before you make your decision.

I used to carry a Sig 226, but recently picked up a M&P 2.0 compact (not the shield). It is a full pound lighter, can run 15 round compact mags or full sized M&P 2.0 17 round mags. frankly, I love this gun. it's inherent accuracy is right there with the Sig, but far more comfortable with the lighter weight.

How ya doin?

RobMa, Not telling you what to do, but . . . that putz you've got on you little video is one of the total anti-gun schmags that we have to fight every day. Just my thoughts.
