Tried my hand at filling. Used some gold non permanent paint. Really brings it out.

I’ve fit ambi safety levers to several 1911s. Close enough to left handed to satisfy me.

Now I’m gonna need to get me one and fill it in with orange.  Go Vols!

Very nice looking 1911!  I don't know how the Turks can make this handgun and sell it at the price points listed but, good for them!

The reviews that I have read have all been positive.  If I didn't have "over the limit" of 1911's I would give it  serious consideration.

I do appreciate the reference to "Volunteer" and Davey Crockett and if they decide to produce one that references my favorite Tennessee son,  Alvin Cullum York, from Pall Mall, TN, well I may just have to reconsider my position.

Oh my. I don't know how I haven't seen these before... Now I really want one.

It's certainly an easier to swallow price than a WW1 M1911.

This looks like another gun I need!

With a price of $393 at Family Firearms I couldn't pass this one up.

Ordered from Family Firearms on Saturday- received today.  I’m eager to get it to the range.

Cleaned and took to the range today.  Shot a variety of ammunition without any malfunction.  A great 1911 for the price.

There’s probably enough left to do a thousand more guns.  Try to control yourself.

That's a beaut.

I like it.  Didn't realize SDS was in Knoxville.

I have never owned a Tisas, I have checked out several. I was impressed by the quality. Visually, they appear to be able to hold their own with 1911s that are twice their price.

I like the reviews on this thread. Looks like I need one too!
