Inferior firearms vs function and reliability

[bisleyfan41]

Are they made to the same specs as a common mil spec U.S. made 1911 ?

Part for part.

I have been buying spare parts for my Rugers for years now. I recently started buy parts for my Winchesters and muzzle loaders as money allows. In owning misc Rugers for over 40 years, I have only had to replace one part on a 1954 Standard model that has almost zero finish left. That part was a extractor. Many of the Ruger parts I bought years ago can no longer be bought new. Get parts now before ATF declares that trigger for your Bearcat a machinegun.

I can't answer in regards to the Turkish knock-off's but I can say for a fact that my two RIA 1911-A1 "Full Size" guns take Wilson generic 1911 fire-control parts, Wolff springs, and work great with Springfield and USGI pattern mags. I know that because those are the 'just in case' replacement parts I've tried in them....Hope this helps.

RIA pistols are made in the Philippines and are excellent quality. They are bargains for what you pay and what you get.

Of all these aftermarket 1911's, how about replacement parts ? I have a Auto Ordnance 1911 and have no problem getting replacement parts that fit. If you buy one of these Turkish made guns, are parts gonna be a problem ? Are they made to the same specs as a common mil spec U.S. made 1911 ?

Any 70 series 1911 parts will fit the Turkish guns . My Turk 1911 is on the way and I'm already looking for extractors and recoil springs that will fit any standard 1911A1. 3 of my coworkers have Tisas 1911s and they all dropped in aftermarket parts

I had a Brazilian made SA, Inc 1911A1 "GI" and I replaced pretty much every part including the barrel with USGI surplus parts. I had plans to put a surplus slide on it but I got "Ruger itis' at that time and sold it probably to fund a GP100

I don't have any Turkish pistols but I have a Turkish made shotgun. It has a hard chrome barrel made with gear steel, front & back sights, pistol grip, and all the other stuff that anyone would want on a shotgun. I got this from that crook budds a few years back for $200, so I can't complain.
