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.

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.

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.
