Rock Island Armory’s TAC ULTRA 10mm 1911 (Pistol Review)
Chambering 1911 10mm and can do. Classic platform designed for .45 ACP, captured about 21,000 psi with 230 rounds of ammunition slug. In the late 1920s, the weapon was satisfied with the .38 Super, which has about 36,000 psi, depending on the load. Enter 1911 to 10mm and you talked about the maximum pressure in the range of 37,500 psi. That is the design of an old Pistol rocking, but not with the Rock Island Armory TAC Ultra.
Call me a little biased, but with each new 1911 I manipulate, one of the first tests I realized what I call the "test toys." I shook the gun and listen to all the loose parts. TAC Ultra is silence. When I look for any play between the blades and chassis, nothing but a tight fit. TAC Ultra produced in the city of Marikina in the Philippines by Armscor. The 1911s to enter the GI Armscor Pistol 1911 Affordable style. The TAC Series line raises the bar. The TAC Ultra particular, is equipped with all the features that we had to wait in a queue for an extended beaver, 1911, an ambidextrous thumb safety, and better distribute the magazine, to name a few.
TAC Ultra uses a system of 70 series, so there is no internal security of the striker as in the series in 1911 80. Some purists, myself included, prefer the series 70. The trigger feels cleaner and sharper than systems that use triggers to control safety devices such as in the series and a slide 80. Slide stops forged.
TAC Ultra using cannon design one piece guide rod and distribute bull with a traditional barrel sleeve. This configuration increases the accuracy of the gun, and also makes for field stripping procedure is slightly different. When the gun in battery, flare bull barrel lock up the muzzle, with a tight fit in the slide, and rear locking tab is locked in as a typical knife in 1911, made a tight Pistol bank vaults. The barrel is made of stainless steel and have an integrated power strip as Clark private barrel. Path integral fully support the case of direct eat up the tower on a hill; there is no gap between the frame and barrel bullet nose to survive.
Slide sport subtle logo on the back of the rear inclined grooves Armscor; No serration tilt at the mouth end of the slider, too. The top of the slide round like IM-style weapons. Handlebar that fits in place, and has a fiber optic tube that sucks small reddish orange light available. In dim to dark conditions, the handlebar is more difficult to see, but it is the nature of optical fiber handlebar. Adjustable rear sights are dovetailed into the slide and radical dehorning. In fact, there is no hint of sharp edges in the rear view, which has two white dots and a square notch. View of the back is in contact with the back of the blade for maximum viewing distance. A small flat-blade screwdriver and a sense of direction that is necessary to customize the site. No arrows to show the direction of view adjustment, but there are indicators that show signs of coming left / right movement of the view. Click accurate and have confidence in the adjustment. In use, the site is very good. They do not lose their zero, even with constant load pounding 10mm.
"When I go to the target, I was stunned. The TAC Ultra grouped values bullet magazine in an impressive group."
The frame has a full cover that allows the attachment of a laser or light through Picatinny style rail. Railed part of the receptor to be improved, and the extra weight helps tame recoil of some 10mm. Serrations and boxes semi frontstrap polymer housing assistance for grip and control of these animals. The upswept beaver allows a higher grip on the gun without fear hammer bite. Retarder is also sized so that even with some less than perfect grip security will be released. Palu framework offers a lot of grip to arm and disarm the hammer and so far, ambidextrous thumb safety work exclusively with either a positive click when changing your thumb. The trigger also frame and long vertical lines so that your finger is placed on the trigger. It is adapted to be controlled by a small hex screw in the face of the trigger. The trigger was a little bit of pick up and before creep rupture. The trigger is good. She burst on average 4.8 pounds.
Operator II adhesion panel has an aggressive pattern of a golf ball near the outer edge they finally close frontstrap diagonal cuts in retreat. A thumb rest allows quick and easy access to the release of the magazine for a refill of high speed magazine. At first glance, I thought the deal was too aggressive to 10mm, but they do not. Even after the shooting extended, palms no worse for wear. TAC funnel Ultra also sports magazine clip to stick frames and held by screws of the handle panel. Funnel which requires basepads to be installed in the magazine so that you can slam home with the palm of your hand until I accelerated refill.
Two eight-round magazine that came with a gun; Both have a metal body and followers. I do not bust my thumb load these magazines, and both magazines came with basepads mounted on rubber. When sitting, about 0.13 inches
basepad extend below the mag. I like to fit almost flush installation. Done parkerized entire Pistol executed properly and underrated.
TAC ULTRA 10mm Time span
Three brands of ammunition used for the work ranges: two counts of driving and the cost of defense. Training costs consist of grains federal American Eagle WFSJ 180 and PMC-200 grain FMJ Bronze-TC. I also use personal defense round of federal loaded 180 Hydra-Shok JHPs grains. All ammunition perfect ride through TAC Ultra. To test the precision I placed a target 25-yard and used my beach bag as a break. TAC Ultra favored charging American Eagle on the PMC, hands down. Always test a variety of ammunition in your weapon; You never know what brand or weight ball, he will perform with, so do your due diligence. I know I am preaching to the choir.
When I pull the cartridge federal, I had to lift his head and look at the target. The shot felt good, but I can not see where they hit. When I go to the target, I was stunned. TAC Ultra grouped value bullet magazine in an impressive group. Six of the eight holes that touch; five creates a big hole. "What is this weapon?" I wondered. TAC Ultra retreat with very restrained. I think the cover extended protection has helped reduce muzzle shake and made me the target. In rapid fire, Pistol pedaling fast, as you would expect a hot lap as 10mm. I needed hiking boots to get an empty box removed from the gun.
I'm not sure what the long term effects will be in the firing of 10mm Rock Island Armory TAC Ultra, but I'm curious. Maybe I should stay and find out.
