TISAS ?

[Tom Garrett]

No need to be angered and defensive. I've already mentioned my positive thoughts on the Tisas 1911. I'll certainly not disparage them, but I just bought a new Colt 1911 .45 and it works fine, straight out-of-the-box, perhaps as well as a Tisas.

I'm not angered. Everytime I post here the next guy comes on and says I'm full of ****. I'm just giving personal experience here. I get tired of one ups manship every flipping post.

That sounds good, but I don't need one more caliber to be short of.

It's easier for me to list the calibers in handguns that I DON'T have rather than DO have.

But buying only 1K rds of 9mm instead of 5K allows me to add-in my .38Super, 10mm, .357mag (Desert Eagle & Smiths!) & so forth.

It also helps to have a FFL buddy.

I've learned that if everyone has a problem with all your posts, the problem MAY not be them...............

Just sayin'..................

Are these Tisas 1911s as good as the Springfield Mil-Spec or recent lower priced Colts?

What is a Tisas Pistol? Am I the only one who don't know?

I have the tokarev copy just for something different. Probably only put about 400 rounds through it but has been flawless.

No.

But they're still good entry level firearms.

The Springfield and Colts have MIM parts. Tisas do not.

The slide to frame fit and barrel lock up on my $299 Tisas is better than any factory Colt or Springfield I've owned, including my TRP. Entry level price, maybe, but quality equivalent to a much higher price point. But no prancing pony to make you feel good about those higher prices. I own 1911s from Colt, Springfield, Ruger, Kimber and Tisas. The Tisas are objectively as good as any of them.

Yes.

They all have their production quirks. But, generally speaking, yes. The only reason to buy a current production Colt is the name, which many people can't get over.

The only reason to buy a Springfield is some kind of feature set that trips your trigger. Other than that, the Tisas are just as solid.

There isn't a single objective metric anyone can use to refute that.

IIRC....these were listed as "blems" a year or so back.
Priced at $318 delivered.
I can't recall what the blem was supposed to be but nary a hiccup
after over 500 rounds.
Should have snagged one in 9mm.

Seems opinions upset some and so be it. Just about everyone with 20-30 years Real Experience with firearms have learned quite a lot. Everybody has " take aways" from every different firearm they have fired or used. Opinions are formed from use.
