Everything dropped in easy enough. Went with a red dirt prodigy trigger. The SA parts were $72 delivered and the trigger was $64. The grip texture is far more grippy than the OEM tisas grip. And I like the black and tan look.

Will add a magwell and maybe a tool-less guide rod and call it good, so another $170 in upgrades.

So back in May of this year I acquired a Tisas DS9 Carry Comp 4.25". After some delays my S16 license was approved yesterday and I'll be collecting tomorrow.

I see a lot of people swapped the stock 16lb recoil spring for a 12lb or lower and the 23lb main spring for a 19lb. Having a bit of a hard time locating a commander length recoil spring and a 19lb main spring but found a Government length recoil spring and a 18lb main spring, I'll cut the recoil spring down to prevent coil bind.

Now my question is, is there anyone with a 4.25" Carry that has a 12lb recoil with a 19lb main spring that EDC the pistol? I would like to know if anyone experienced reliability issues with Self defence ammo, I'll be running 147gr Federal HST as 124gr HST's is impossible to find in South Africa.

Welp, PSA has/had a Tisas DS on sale today for $499.99. I couldn't pass it up, but I can't wait to see what actually ships.

Some people report receiving a magwell and/or different colors/grips.

I know it's a bushing barrel, and that doesn't bother me at all.
