Upgraded version of the WWII Classic. Features a 5 inch barrel, brown checkered plastic grips, a dark gray cerakote finish, and comes with two 8-round magazines.
This little baby is a BEAST! It houses a wide range of many different attachments and parts. The gun is almost completely customizable when it comes to appearance and operation. It's fresh and sleek right out of the box. The factory clips are pretty cheap; I dropped the entire gun on a concrete floor, and the clip popped into pieces. IT WAS FIXABLE. I fixed the magazine, and it still fired like a champ that's never been abused. I'm a huge fan of rapid fire, and this thing has yet to jam or misfire during live action. It has jammed on me ONCE out of a year of owning it, and that's because I was trying to break the slide in by chambering it a few times a day. It jammed due to the fact I hadn't oiled it in a few months. I've shot well over 150 rounds the first day getting it, and after taking it apart for cleaning, it was a huge surprise to see how clean the gun was for 150 rounds. My Vska Ak47 collects more powder than this little beauty. She's yet to let me down, and the one time I've had to pull it out for self-defense, one time, and the sound of the chamber had four people running like track stars. I have the factory clips but cease to use them. I run 10 round steel clips from Chip McCormick Power 10. 1911's are really feisty when it comes to extended clips, but this one seems to love it! If you want a cheap, reliable pistol, YOU'VE FOUND IT. I'm a huge Glock fan because, again, I love rapid fire, but this one takes the cake for me. I'll gladly keep this thing closer to me than my Glocks or Ak47. You want to know why the world feared this gun during a time of war? Buy one and feel the power of a true war weapon legend! They feel amazing being shot one-handed like the United States taught back then.
Just got my Tisas 1911 45 ACP a few days ago and took it to the range, I have to say I really enjoyed shooting this gun and would definitely buy more from this company. I made sure I read as many reviews as possible and it paid off. Great service from Sportsman's Outdoor Superstore as usual.
I already owned several Tisas products, all of which are very nice. When this .45 was offered at the price of $329, I could not resist buying it. When it arrived, I was not disappointed. The fit and finish for a gun at this price is awesome. I'm pretty sure it has a titanium firing pin. The trigger pull is nice and crisp just as a .45 should be. I really can not criticize any thing about this gun. For the price, it's a homerun.
I love it. It’s beautiful and affordable. I haven’t even really performed with it as I should but I am.
Let me tell you, my brothers and sisters, I have purchased two Tisas 45 cal 1911's. One is the duty model and the other is the 1911 A1 Service. Both are well made and shoot well. I have used 230 grain FMJ and 185 grain Winchester Silver Tip HP with good results. Don't let the price fool ya. I will by one more just to have. This is a pistol you can pass on to your family.
This is my first 1911. I’ve wanted one since I held my first toy years ago. Never would have paid $1000 or more to get one, but with the cost vs performance value that the Tisas gun gives I’m glad I pulled the trigger. I’ve put 150 rounds of FMJ through it. One FTF but it was because i couldn’t count and over-stuffed the mag. Not the fault of the gun. Very little ‘click-clack’ on mine when you hand shake it. It is really well built and tight. Everyone who sees it starts looking for one for themselves. Wholeheartedly recommend this sidearm. Transfer from Sportsman’s was seamless and fast shipping.
Bought this a couple of weeks ago. It came with a nice carry case. Opened the box and found a really nice looking 1911. I took the slide off and found a well built handgun. Took it to the range this morning and shot great with zero jams. I believe this is one of those times that the working man can afford a great 1911 without breaking the bank. There is nothing cheap about this handgun but the price.
Saw some reviews and videos on YouTube, all positive. Came up for sale a few weeks ago on Sportsman's Outdoor Superstore I and took the plunge. Fit and finish are excellent and it runs flawlessly. Once in a while, the stars line up for you…this is one of those times.
You can't beat it for the money, if you want a 1911A1 clone this is the one to get. The only difference between this and the Remington-Rand I carried as an M.P. is this has better sights, flat mainspring housing, and better fit so its way more accurate. Before I took it to the range, I oiled it up and worked the action at least 200 times, shooting 230 FMJ, and had no FTF or FTE. You cant go wrong with Tisas, Girsan, or SDS.
