I bought surplus GI Bakelite grips for my Tisas US Army 45. Best $10 I ever spent. It makes the the weapon look legit.

Those are very nice pistols! I picked one up in 9mm because it was almost like buying a brand new Star Model B that is actually built to series 70 specs. Being a full size 1911 in 9mm, it is very accurate at 25 yards. I still need to try it out at 50 yards to see how it does. The quality compares very well to my Springfield GI .45 MIL-SPEC. If you look around, you can also find used grips in good shape with rack numbers still intact. The rack number grips really give the pistol a cool "been there, done that" look.

That's a pretty nice snag at that price. Changing the grips really gives it the appearance of a GI 1911. I snagged a CMP Surplus 1911A1, got a Remington Rand the first year they did the lottery. The Tisas looks just like it. Have heard good things about them. Hopefully it continues to impress!

I suspect it will. Thanks for watching!

I did a couple videos on this pistol, not long ago. I think it's a well-made firearm. I didn't care for the stock sights or the grips. I had those changed. I feel for the money, it's a must-have.

I’m curious what did you do for sights?

Nice review, I love mine.

Well, well! I got one of these just the other day in 9mm and have been thoroughly impressed too. The slide glides smoothly straight out of the box. I love how it is forged as opposed to cast.

I do imagine a 9mm version would shoot nicely. Main reason I went with the .45 (aside from the sweet deal) is I already had mags on hand for my Ballester-Molina (not quite a 1911 but uses the same mags), so no need to get more mags for yet another gun.

@@hobofactory Yep, the 9mm has super soft recoil with that full government slide on it. It definitely makes sense why you choose the .45, as 9mm mags are $20+ minimum!

Check the thumb safety? Is it very easy to activate or deactivate? I now own three Tisas 1911’s in 9mm and .45ACP. All three had short plunger springs on the thumb safety? Pistols all functioned great. But when replacing the spring you get a better detent on the thumb safety the way the 1911 was designed!

@hobofactory 7 ай бұрын

For mine, so far it’s easy to flip the safety, but not overly so, certainly not to the point that it would be easy to do unintentionally. I don’t have much grounds for comparison, though, other than a Ballester Molina, which isn’t a 100% 1911 but pretty close. The safety on the Ballester seems only slightly heavier.

@@hobofactory My first Tisas 1911a1 ran great until the safety activated on several occasions due to recoil! Now with 3 Tisas 1911’s I found they all came with shorter thumb safety springs. Once the spring wears in it may activate due to recoil? When I replaced the first spring with a Wilson combat spring. I found how short the Tisas OEM spring is compared to a true 1911 spring. It is much easier to breakdown the 1911 with the shorter original spring!

Looks very nice , you said you ran steel case ammo , by your statement you also ran brass . Do you think it handled / shot any differently . Also did you shoot just ball ammo or did you shot hollow point /defensive ammo , if so any notable differences

@hobofactory 7 ай бұрын

I actually didn’t really notice any difference in performance between the steel and brass-cased stuff. Very consistent ejection with both. Didn’t get the chance to try and defensive/hollow point ammo yet.
