Anyone know of an upcoming Black Friday deals on a 1911?
Dunham’s has a Tisas Service for $325.
I’ve only read good reviews on them.
I need it like I need a hole in my head, but we know how that goes.

On sale for $329 at our local Dunham's in TN.

IMHO the absolute best 1911 out there is, as of 5 minutes ago, still available at PSA...

TISAS Stakeout 1911A in BOTH 9mm & 38 Super (as in two barrels & two magazines), in electroless nickel for $399!

Hurry! It is an absolutely beautiful, tight, accurate forged gun. The finish alone would cost one at least $300 in the aftermarket: the machining on mine is perfect. Not my 1st 1911, but my 1st TISAS and I was very impressed!

Cheers!

P.S. It even has a titanium firing pin!

PSA still has the 1911A1 Tisas in .45ACP at $299.

PSA Tisas 1911A1 Black Friday

They also have the Tisas Raider (M45A1 clone) in 9mm at $439...

Tisas Raider 9mm

I have one of each of these and the quality is fantastic... all forged, no MIM parts, and put together as well as anything 3x the price. Both are excellent shooters.

PSA also has several other deals on Tisas/SDS 1911s in various configurations/calibers.

I have several of the Tisas 1911s, and they are really, really good. And not just for the price. I have Colts, Kimbers and Springfields and the Tisas are just as good as any of them, feature for feature.

It's a fun & reliable 1911A1. Get one. So far so good with mine. Merry Christmas!!

I like the idea of a dual caliber capability (9mm+.38 Super) M1911. I wonder why more makers don’t do that. It is so simple. I did it over 30 years ago.

Well I bought the Tisas Service at Dunhams. Or I should say I put $100 on one, even though I had the cash to buy it outright, in case they run an Early Bird special on them, like they sometimes do. I wanted to lock one in for at most $329 plus tax.
Seems like a well made gun. No visible flaws. Nice finish. A one thing I really like, though minor to some, is there’s no big, garish billboard, only a small business like “1911A1 Service” on the slide. No Rs, Eagles, Cows or stars.
I like the look.
Black cerakote.
Kind of an Amish 1911A1.

Tisas makes good stuff. Turks have been making guns for a very long time plus the exchange rate is strongly in our favor.

Rural King Rock Island 1911 $339. But....caliber is 10mm for those that like it. Apparently no .45s.

Yes I saw that, but I already have one.

Palmetto has Beretta 92SB LE trade in's for 399!

And also- Beretta 84BB .380ACP LE trade in’s for $299.

Runnings Ranch and Farm store has the
Tisas 1911A1 .45 Pistol for $329.99.
Nov. 30 thru Dec. 1.

I think you'll like the Tisas. Mine has been Glock-like reliable right out of the box without any of the typical 1911 tinkering that so many more costly 1911's seem to need.

This is a very tempting deal! I've been trying to win an auction for either a nice 10mm or .38 Super 1911 for some time now, without overpaying of course, but this might take me out of the game.

Sounds like youve located the deal you want. I can only second the high praise for the Tisas offerings. I have three Tisas now, a 10mm and two commander length .45s. One is the black cerakote the other satin nickel. I liked the nickel on so well I sold my Colt Combat Commander satin nickel (for 2x what I paid for the Tisas). And the Tisas has better sights.

Like every country, Turkey puts out some junk guns, but the Tisas 1911's are good to go. I own a couple and they work great and seem well made.

You're all a bunch of enablers ! I went and looked at that Tisa with a 9mm/38super barrel and picked one up , I do like 38super . I figure even if I buy a high end 38super barrel , I'm still way in the black considering it was $399 plus tax .

Rural King SDS Imports 1911 .45 ACP $314.99

Doubtful you'll find you really need one...

Both barrels are chromed, and have proven to be very accurate with 4 different 38 Super loads and 6 different in 9mm!

Cheers!

Dang it SN!
I bought the Service model but after looking at the 9mm/.38 Super you mentioned, I’m considering ordering one of those too!
Seems like a heck of a deal, plus I always wanted a Super.

Be careful... the Tisas 1911s are like potato chips. You can't just buy 1!

I started with a Raider in 9mm that I bought to keep in my shop. 6 months later, I have 6 of the darn things in various flavors...

You guys might put in Dee-vorce court, or bankruptcy.

So, any range reports on your black Friday 1911s? My $299 Tisas continues to shoot pretty well...

I haven’t got the chance to hit the range yet. Work and hanging Christmas decorations ha had me tied up.
Maybe I’ll get a shot (ha ha) this weekend.
The .38 Super/9mm combo PSA has is interesting too.
Nice shooting’.

I see PSA has these again.
How about a range report if available.

Don't really have a formal range report: but can state I've had ZEO, Zilch, -0-, nada problems with all 9mm & 38 Super ammo (factory & handloads) and that function and accuracy are outstanding.

The ed brown 38 Super mag is great. I picked up a couple other 38 Super mags and some in 9mm from Mec-Gar that I much prefer to the TISAS 9mm one.

A buddy bought one of these and he's very impressed with the TISAS 1911A as well. My sincere recommendation as the BEST 1911 deal out there.

Cheers!

Bought one a few years ago at Potters in Jamestown you could spend more, but you won't get a better basic 1911 than these eats everything I feed it.

Merry Christmas to everyone and me. Just bought a Tisas 1911 Government .45 ACP 5" 7rd Pistol, 1911A1GOVT from PSA for $299.00. Only $19 shipping. Great Deal. Everyone in my FFL's shooting club says it is a great 45, quality and price. Looking forward to getting it and comparing it to the Charles Daly I bought last year for $399 which is a nice shooter in and of itself.

Well the Tisas Stakeouts didn’t last. PSA is out again.

I expect you'll be happy with it!

I bought mine primarily to shoot in a local informal "military 2 gun" match. Guns have to be pre-1955 military issue, or reproductions in "armory" condition... i.e. no aftermarket sights/mods/etc. Rifles, 20 rounds at 100yds, pistols 10 rounds at 10 yards.

Today, I finally got to run it in a match. While I was middle of the pack with the rifle at 173/200 (a 6.5 Swede that I haven't fully dialed in), I won the pistol string with 100/100-6x with the Tisas. This 1911A1 continues to impress...

WOW! Nice shooting!

I honestly don’t know why I bought my Tisas Service model, other than curiosity. I’ve read a lot of good about their .45s. I already own a Gold Cup, a Springfield WWII, and an XD, plus 4 revolvers in .45.
The Tisas in 9mm/.38 Super does look very appealing. I put myself on their waiting list.
We’ll see what happens.

I bought a Tisas 9mm Stingray last year and have had trouble with the extractor. I sent it back to Tisas the first time and had a gunsmith work on it the second time. It seems to be working ok however, due to the weather I have not shot it lately. I like the gun and want it to work well.

From what I understand, the 9mm extractors are much different and harder to make function perfectly, than the .45 extractors. I had a RIA 9mm that functioned perfectly the 2 years I owned it.

I have a Tisas Carry 9mm that I bought used and had some issues with the extraction. I initially thought it was an extractor problem, but turns out it just doesn't like Remington 147gr FMJ ammo. It functions perfectly with everything else I've tried. So far, that has been the only problem I have experienced with my various Tisas 1911s.

It looks like PSA quit carrying the Stakeout model .38/9mm.
I see they are currently offering Tisas’s .45 Government model for $299.
I don’t have that particular model but if it’s anything like my Service model, it’s a steal!
I just had it out and externally it is flawless.
The thing I really like is the lack of garish billboards.
Left side of the slide simply says Model 1911a1 Service
The dustcover is stamped so small I need a magnifier to read it.
ZIG M1911 TÜRKIYE.

I really hope it warms up soon so I can get my butt out to do some shooting. My recent operation should be good to go by then, also. Not only the 1911, but the Beretta 92S.
I may have to think about that one in 9mm/.38Sig, but I really don't need any more guns. (Ha! That almost sounded serious.)
