[Handgun] MAC MEUSOC 1911 .45 ACP - $399.99 + ship/tax

Lowest I've seen these yet and I can't imagine they'll get any lower. They probably won't be around any longer after these all sell since Tisas broke up with SDS/MAC and are starting up Tisas USA. I got mine the other week and love it.

patiently waiting for a PSA price glitch on a MAC 9 DS Comp to go under $600 👹

Hasn’t it hit the 7’s already
PrestigiousShop5878@reddit
think i’ve seen the non comp version hit $750ish, but haven’t seen the comp’d versions get that low. i would absolutely take the comp’d one if it hit $700, too 👀

Is this a good first 1911? Obviously it’s not gonna be as good as something that costs a bit more, but is this a worthwhile choice or should I just save up for a Springfield or something similar?
boner4stoner@reddit (OP)
Springfield is honestly going to be about the same quality, but does typically have a nicer fitment. After breaking in a Tisas and a Springfield, the difference isn't noticeable. Tisas uses machined small parts instead of MIM like Springfield does. Tisas doesn't hold value as well, but why buy a gun if you intend to sell it. These are imo the only good guns out of Turkey and this particular model won't be around for too much longer so I'd say get it.

MKE is turning out some decent MP5 clones out of turkey
boner4stoner@reddit (OP)
Damn I forgot about those. Yeah, 1911s and MKE MP5s. Not the MAC ones though lol
Echo_Raptor@reddit
The Mac MP5’s are as good as the MKE ones. You’re rolling the dice either way on the QC
DrNinjaPandaManEsq@reddit
Gotcha. Might give one of these a try then - I figure I’ll end up with a few 1911s at the end of the day so this might be a nice way to get my feet wet.
boner4stoner@reddit (OP)
That's right. Don't have to worry about abusing this one. If Springfield made a MEUSOC clone, I'd 100% buy it because Springfield is cooler than Tisas, but as long as the quality is actually good I don't care.
A guy in the 1911 sub the other day posted about the mods he did to his MEUSOC and it really takes it to the next level. A good tinkering gun.
IllSkyHelix111@reddit
it's not a clone but it'd similar and based on teh original MEUSOC request:

i have one, it's fuckin' sweet ngl. the "cali compliant" bit is basically meaningless, it's a 1911
boner4stoner@reddit (OP)
Always wanted one of those but couldn't justify the price tbh. I'm more likely to spend that kind of money on something I'd carry every day. It'd be a badass range toy or woods gun though.
VmaxEngage@reddit
Damn…that color scheme is fire 🔥
aeg_throwaway@reddit
It was my first 1911 and I haven't had any problems after 400-500 rds. Its nothing impressive but it goes bang. I paid a bit more for mine because being a MEUSOC clone was a selling point and I wouldn't recommend it at MSRP if you don't care about it being a clone. At this price I'd say its a solid entry-level option though.
bekman_Bek@reddit
I’d get this over a Springfield. I have one of these and action and safeties are as nice as any trp I had
RangeSoggy2788@reddit
Tisas and mac breaking up? Does that mean mac9 ds is going to be turkshit now?
boner4stoner@reddit (OP)
Possibly. From what I saw, MAC is still wanting to make/import their 1911s, but will have to use a different manufacturer. So it'll be actual turkshit now since every Turkish 1911 manufacturer is ass except Tisas. Tisas USA will still be bringing in their own DS though, just not under SDS.
smegma_toast@reddit
Knowing PSA, after fees and shipping it's gonna be over $550 easy
Fxry@reddit
I ordered this last week at $449.99 and after fees and everything it was just over $525. Kinda bummed I missed out on the $50 discount but it is what it is.

Screenshot the sale price (include date) and contact customer service.
"If you have placed an order and the price drops within 30 days of your order date, Palmetto State armory will offer a credit for the difference upon your request."
Battle_Intense@reddit
Cool looking 1911, but I swore I would never buy another 1911 unless it had an optic plate.
boner4stoner@reddit (OP)
Can you not get it milled?
Battle_Intense@reddit
I'll just buy one with it already milled... no rush to add another 1911 at this point.
Brundonlew@reddit
You can. There's actually a guy near me who mills then for rmr footprint
deuce2626@reddit
I bought mine for around $600 and it’s worth every penny at that price. Of course, wish I would have waited!
Berry_Micockiner@reddit
lol buying a MAC is like gambiling a $400 bet these days
denom_chicken@reddit
Ooh so I didn’t make a mistake in buying the Springfield operator yesterday?
crabcakemeister@reddit
Springfield is on a wild run right now, everything they make is amazing (although a lot of that is due to their HS produkt contracts). I never thought I'd see springfield become such a coveted brand but people are clawing each other's eyes out to get their hands on an in-stock kuna lol.
Diligent-Parfait-236@reddit
The PCC market is racing to build the cheapest gun and charge the most, the kuna is pretty big when the options that aren't doing that are a gun designed in the 50s (mp5), a $2000 gun (mpx), and a gun with reliability issues (sp9a3), and a few boutique AR derivatives with a mix of the last 2 problems.
Berry_Micockiner@reddit
No , MAC quality control is a mixed bag of dicks these days.
there_is-no-spoon@reddit
Good deal. If I didn't already have 2 tisas 45s id grab this. Nice upgrades. Beaver tail grip safety is nice. These are replaceable sights, right?
boner4stoner@reddit (OP)
The rear is I believe, but the front is staked on. So kinda?
there_is-no-spoon@reddit
Ok that's what I was wondering. Not the end of the world but would be an even better value if you knew you could swap sights if needed
Diligent-Parfait-236@reddit
For reference this is their most basic $300 A1 with aftermarket sights and grip panels.
boner4stoner@reddit (OP)
Yeah, all Tisas guns have the same base model. This also has an ambi safety, KC Customs style grip safety, ring hammer, and a nitride finish. I'd pay extra for the nitride over Cerakote tbh. But this is for folks who already want a MEUSOC-style/retro 1911. Get a Springfield if you want a non-clone.
bobbyboner1982@reddit
Grabbed one after looking for awhile my 2 mac 9ds run great after I tuned extractor
North-Woods69@reddit
These are insane guns for the price.
