Members on 1911 forum like them , I had a 1911 .45 Carry for awhile manufactured in Turkey seemed to be good quality . Came in nice carry case two stainless mags and barrel bushing wrench. Sold it to retired Marine he was very happy with it
I bought a commander sized version about a year and a half ago and have been quite pleased with it. Performs well right out of the box and plenty accurate after a slight sight adjustment. No malfunctions after nearly 1K rounds with a variety of 230 grain ball and HP ammo. I think they are way under rated.
I have 3, a 9mm and a 45 "tank commander" and a full size "GI" 9mm. No problems with any of them after many hundreds of rounds thru each. Forged steel, no malfunctions, great pricing. What's not to love?
I own 2 of their 1911's and have shot their 9mm PX-9 with and without a suppressor. Very favorable opinion. The 1911's are as accurate (or better!) than my series 1 Kimbers and the PX-9 is a solid little gun.
The Turkish firearms are coming on strong and a great value. I have a bias for ATI/Rock Island for value but would buy the Turkish 1911s as i enjoyed firing them too.
My first was their iteration of the WW2 Remington-Rand. I have fired 1000 rounds through this pistol with zero failures of any kind. Accuracy and reliability were flawless. I paid all of $399 for it.
After finding out what good guns they were first hand I bought their “Raider” model which is an homage to the Colt M45A1 which was the last 1911 ever issued to our military. I only have about 400 rounds through it but zero failures and remarkable accuracy. It serves as my bedside sidearm.
I saw a couple of Tisas in a gunshop a couple weeks ago. The guy behind the counter seemed to really know his stuff. He owns 2 of them. He told me to try the triggers. Nice!
If Tisas ever starts making revolvers, S&W is in big trouble.
Buy one with confidence!!! Have yet to see a bad review on any of their models. I owned the GI Government Model .45 when they first came out ($400 NIB) and put around 700 rounds thru it with no problem. Let it get away from me to a buddy. Not in the market for a 1911, but if I were, the Tisas would be top of the list.

As the owner of a Canik and the Turkish hi-cap update of the CZ 97 I concur. The latter gives you 14+1 of 45 ACP, and when you run out you have a 40 oz hammer to beat the bad guy's horse to death as well.
Here's mine. A Tisas Tank Commander in 45 acp. Still in the break-in process (about 100 rounds through her) but she is running without a hitch. Forged slide and frame, great fit and finish, accurate, and a decent trigger pull. All in all not bad for a $400 1911. Love it!
