Tisas Update

[Glenn R. McMannly]

Just passed the 3000 round mark with my Tisas GI style M1911A1:



Zero jams and 100% perfect reliability through two cases of Winchester military hardball and 500 rounds of Magtech, 250 rounds of Blazer brass 230 grain, and 250 rounds of mixed Federal HST and Remington Golden Saber.

Magazines have been Checkmate USGI new old stock. Cleaning has been conducted approx once every 500 rounds.

No noticeable wear other than the expected finish wear. Gun is very accurate despite the small GI sights.

Best pistol for the money I have ever bough.

How heavy is the trigger pull on that?

I can't speak for the OP but I have three Tisas and they all have excellent triggers. I haven't put a scale to them but id guess they're not more than 5#, maybe less, and are very crisp.

Great guns coming out of Turkey. Fit and finish equal if not better than guns manufactured in U.S.A.

• One of my favorites. Changed the grips (Ergo Warrior) and recoil spring. Grips are a soft rubber. My favorites. Have them on 2 or 3 1911s and very cheap. Spring was rated at 23 lbs. Could have used as a coil spring on my truck. Replaced with a 14 lb.​

I always found the small sights on the M1911-A1 to be good for precision shooting, but hard to quickly pick up when trying to shoot quickly.

Very good! I don't have a gauge but it's very crisp and probably around 4 pounds.

First target for my GI Tisas, 100 rounds at 20 yards. Have been " distracted" by my new to me S&Ws and Colt Delta Elite recently.
Here's my WWI Mark 1 modified and carried by a 82nd Airborne trooper in WW II.

Stop guessing.
Everyone should have one.
They're cheap!

VERY nice and highly collectible.

Mine is a reproduction example and I made a sheath for it from an old Ka-Bar spare.

I'm a Tisas fan too.

Curious, based on your positive endorsement of this pistol I'm wondering how the qualifier about the price point is relevant? Have you ever spent more money on a pistol and gotten better results?

I can't speak for Glenn, but the Wilson Combat and Las Baer 1911's I owned were higher quality guns, but for what I paid, I'd expect it. I've been very happy with the Tisas guns I've tried. I have two now that are great guns for the money.
