So I brought my Tisas D10 10mm home and took it apart and cleaned and examined it. Very impressed with the build quality for the price. In my opinion, much better internals than on the RIA 10mm gun. The trigger bow is flat and square to the frame, the RIA not so much, and the disconnector and sear appear to be better quality as well. I was able to get a smooth 4+# trigger pull in it without hammer follow, best I can safely do. I am wondering if the slide is cerakoted though. I hope not, as it will wear off and loosen up quickly if it is. It looks like nitride? Both are going to the range soon, and I will report. The Tisas appears to be a keeper though. Not too sure about the RIA 16 round gun. It is insanely heavy with 16 rounds on board. And I do not like the gritty, heavy phosphating on all the internals.
My Glock G20 is chuckling in the gun safe as I type this. It knows I will come crawling back to it when the aspens turn golden in the high meadows, just like every year.

The barrel is fully ramped, but it is steep. Recoil spring weight is stiff, as you would expect for a 10mm. So is the mainspring. I think it is properly sprung for the pressures involved. I know the mainspring housing was not fun to get back into the frame and the pin installed. I got to mention this about these 10mm 1911s. My Glock G20 is no more difficult to disassemble than my G19s, even with the heavier recoil spring in it. And the 1911s need to have the heavier springs to handle the pressures and slide velocity of the 10mm. Even getting the recoil spring plug back in place was a challenge and concerned me about getting loose and hitting me in the face. You won't be pushing that puppy down with your thumb while you twist the bushing into place. These aren't the good ol' JMB 1911 45 acp that you were supposed be able to reassemble blindfolded while fighting off a Nazi with your left hand..
