I couldn't find a Harrell video on the Tisas 1911, which is often compared to and reviewed with the Rock Island, but Hickock 45 did one. He compares the Tiasa to military issue 1911's. He mentioned the lack of a hammer block in comparison to some Colt models without it. Basically saying the Tisas is patterned after those pistols, particularly the 70 series Colts, which occurs at the 6:28 mark on his video. He got hammer bite from the Tisas, but he has very large hands, though with the two military pistols it wasn't a problem.
Interestingly Tisas has issued a recall on several of their 1911 Models for the possibility of the hammer following the slide and I assume the possibility of a discharge. I don't know if the problem lies with the sear design or machining flaw, but I would think it's relevant to that. I'm still debating whether to buy the RI, but I'm limited of my spending and have a couple of use guns on auctions I'm considering instead.

Still so much to learn from Paul Harrell. I had no idea about the firing pin block, so checked my two 1911's, one Sig Emporer and one Tisas GI. Only the Sig had the firing pin block.
