I think you are riding the slide down a bit when chambering a round. Pull it back and sling shot it forward aggressively and it'll load just fine. If you use plastic follower magazines or magazines with skirted followers like what came with it, you won't damage the aluminum ramp. In my experience it's the followers that damage the feed ramp not so much the ammo. Thanks for reviewing the Aviator and hope you do a follow up session. God Bless!
I am retired 30 year US Army and the 1911a1 was my side arm for 25 of those years years. I own quite a few and recently purchased a Tisas Night Stalker in 10mm. What good buy that was, The Aviator in .45 is my next buy. I do not like front serrations on a 1911 slide. I do like my off hand near the muzzle while charging the weapon. I normally use the slide release when putting in a fresh magazine. I use a 1911 as my carry weapon and always carry it in condition one (Cocker, locked, and one in the pipe). You made an excellent case that magazines DO matter!
A good quality aluminum frame will last many thousands of rounds without worry so long as it is designed properly and made out of the correct alloy. 7.75 aluminum is actually stronger and more resistant to wear than some steels. The 2 best solutions (which have been implimented by several manufacturers) 1 Use a ramped barrel which eliminates a round hitting a feed ramp made of aluminum. 2 Install a steel feed ramp prior to the barrel and run a normal 1911 barrel. The actual wear on the rails will take many, many thousands of rounds to show any appreciable wear difference between steel and aluminum so long as a decent grade aluminum is used. Think of all the Sig duty pistols in the P series such as the P220, P226, P228, P229 that have survived 10's of thousands of rounds as duty, police and competitive shooting pistols and all of them have an aluminum frame as standard.
Preciate the insight on the integral frame ramp. The overall feature set of this model is very attractive, so I’m looking forward to your follow up and hopefully successful long term data. GOD bless!
I'd like to see what it will do just using the slide release when you are loading it. Doesn't matter much, because I've never seen one that about 100 rounds down range didn't cure that problem.
checking in. making sure your ok, friend. Haven't notices any new content recently..Wanted to let everyone know, Dunham sports is having a 3 day flash sale on Tisas 1911A1 .45acp for 319.00 tomorrow thru Sunday. I think that's a great deal
Good informational video. It ran pretty decent for having the aluminum curse on it. That front bead site is the same as the M.A.C. (Military Armament Corp) 45acp. The rear site is the same larger rear site as the ‘Desperado’ line Tisas has in chrome plated steel. ….. The rear site on standard government models are smaller. The ‘Desperado’ (4.25in) and the ‘Regulator’ (5in) comes with 2 barrels, one in 9mm and a barrel in 38super.
Good video again. Not sure about that pistol not going into battery like it was doing...something is off somewhere. Possibly a burr or something in the throat of the barrell? Idk. Keep up the good work buddy.
That frame will take way more rounds than 90% of the owners will ever shoot through it. It makes it an ideal carry gun. Fully loaded it will weigh what an all steel Goverment model weighs empty. Like all ready mentioned, your loading technique seems to be the likely cause of the feed issues.
You need the longer plastic follower with the aluminum frames. The round feeds higher and doesnt hit the frame as much. Good review. Some autoloaders need a bit of break in. 200 rounds should do it.
I am going to guess you don't own any other .45acp 1911s. As most all 1911s in 45acp have the ramp on the frame as JMB designed it. The ramped barrel is a staple of the 9mm 1911....
You would be guessing wrong I have several 1911 45acp.but I do agree with the rest of your comment. The point I was trying to make is I wouldn’t recommend any aluminum frame with the ramp.because aluminum is not a metal you would use in a high impact friction area.it can however stand some friction.but it will not last like a steel frame. I do really appreciate your comment though friend.

I think by now Tisas is sponsoring the channel,lol. Great video brother!
I sure wish they was it’s expensive making videos.thanks brother GOD BLESS YOU.
@@2Afreedomrange it’s better that you are unbiased and honest.
@@settleschris1965 yeah I agree.
Looking forward to when you get the Tisas 1911 DS 😉🤜🤛
I’m going to check with my local gun store and see if I can get one.
@@2Afreedomrange awesome ! You take care 👍
@@oldironsfury thanks 🙏.
It would be interesting to see how the aluminum feed ramp would hold up with a long term steady diet of fluted ammo.
Yeah that’s true if the ammo wasn’t so expensive.
I'd like to see what it will do just using the slide release when you are loading it. Doesn't matter much, because I've never seen one that about 100 rounds down range didn't cure that problem.
I will be doing a follow up hopefully soon.

Thanks friend.I’ve been trying to get a Regulator not had any success yet.
@@2Afreedomrange …. Looks like NO ONE has either of those chrome models. Gotta get on the ‘notify me list’ when they start making more of them.
Yeah I’m on the wishlist.
Thanks!
I really appreciate the support friend.
M16s had aluminum frames in 6000 series aluminum, later upgraded to 7075 aluminum. Very tough stuff. Most modern aluminum frames are 7075.
Thanks for the info friend.
Put the slide forward than put magazine and chamber
👍
Not sure about the aluminum frame either. But seems to run fine. God Bless Brother!!
That’s true I just don’t believe it would after hundreds of rounds run through it.GOD BLESS YOU BROTHER!
you remind me of Ken Curtis
😇
lol 😂 believe or not I’ve been told that before friend.
@@2Afreedomrange I met Ken Curtis at the san antonio stock show and rodeo when I was 14 Im 65 now and I will never forget
Turd Sauce!!
lol 😂!
Just use the slide lock/release
I don’t believe that was the issue friend.
Good video again. Not sure about that pistol not going into battery like it was doing...something is off somewhere. Possibly a burr or something in the throat of the barrell? Idk. Keep up the good work buddy.
Thanks friend. I don’t see a burr not sure what it is yet.

Thanks.
I’m thinking long term down the road ( trouble ) !!!!
That’s mine thinking also.
If cut all the other stuff, a 1911a1 was designed to shoot ball amo only
That’s true.
Amen Brother, Only by the shed Blood of Jesus.. It wont be long and we are going Home to be with our Lord and Savior. God Bless
Amen brother!GOD BLESS YOU!

Brotherman! Tisas has a recall on 5 of their pistols for hammer drop. It wasn’t listed on the pages from parent import in Chatanooga yet.
Thanks for the info. I’ve not seen anything about it yet but I will check into it friend.

I can never pronounce it right lol 😂.
@2Afreedomrange ill never pronounce it the same again XD
