True Way Tactics

Here’s a short ARR on the Doublestar 1911 that I just got.
Doublestar 1911, .45 ACP with 5” barrel with a rail frame.
Novak sights with white dots (no tritium inserts), looks like Ed Brown thumb safety & grip safety, 25 LPI front strap checkering, steel flat checkered mainspring housing, front slide serrations, original JMB design firing pin system (no FP block) and I was told no MIM internals.
I picked up the Doublestar the same day that I was leaving with my son to attend four days of training with Henk Iverson (www.StrikeTactical.com). Handgun levels I and II.
The only pre-course prep that was done was to field strip the Doublestar, run a bore brush & some patches through the bore and then lube the pistol.
My son used the Doublestar throughout Henk’s course and fired just fewer than 1,200 rounds of assorted ammunition, consisting mainly of reloaded 230 grain plated RN bullets @ 840 fps.
Approximately 150 rounds of various factory hollow points were also fired through the pistol. Zero malfunctions, hesitations or hiccups were encountered during the feeding, firing, extracting and ejecting the ammunition fired. 100% performance!
Magazines used were a combination of standard 7 round Wilson Combat, their 8 round Elite magazines along with some McCormick 8 round PowerMags.
The only issue that was encountered was the rear section of the thumb safety overhung the rear of the frame approx .040”. Less than 60 seconds with a dremel motor tool with a rubber abrasive wheel took care of that.
The only thing that I’ll change is to replace the Novak rear sight with a 10-8 black sight.
I will purchase another Doublestar (without the frame rail) when they become available in June or July (hopefully).
Great pistol . . . . highly recommended!
