Tisas 1911

[DesertRanger]

I ordered a Tisas 1911 Carry in stainless two weeks ago with low expectations. I own a Colt 1911 in 10mm and have owned a couple of Colt 1911s in 45 acp and a Springfield Armory 1911, so I have a good baseline. I ordered the Tisas from Classic Firearms for $399, so again, low expectations. The fit and finish are really good, and it comes with a cleaning kit, two mags and a waterproof carry case. I’ve only run 100 rounds through it, but the trigger is much nicer than expected. I’m waiting for some major flaw to appear, but so far I am pleased- it’s a pleasure at the range. I don’t know that it would ever be my carry- that’s why I have Sigs and Glocks- but I thought I would share in case anyone is looking for a budget 1911 that feels much more expensive. Also, I like that SDS had Knoxville TN engraved on the frame. The same model in blue is $579 at my LGS. FYI- I have no connection to CF. In fact, I’m not a fan of them usually.

I'm a fan of Tisas.  I own two and both have been excellent guns.  I have the BR380 Fatih (Cheetah 84 Clone) and the SDS U.S. Army 1911a1. Glad you are enjoying your new 1911!!!

That’s good to know- I may order a full-size model if the stock holds out.

A buddy of mine just bought one and could not be happier with it.

I purchased a tisas px-9 gen 3 tactical just because I found one so cheap. I’m extremely satisfied with the value for money. Not a 1911 of course but the slide machining is on par with some high end handguns.
