There are some things that these Tisas pistols lack, in regards to fitment but it's minimal. But you are 100% correct. The 1911 enhanced duty offer more than 99% of the 800-1000.00 pistols.

Everyone complains that things are not made in America but then they run to the cheapest option. Do you have any idea the labor cost difference between USA and Turkey. The difference in legal fees and regulations? If Tisas made their guns in the us they would cost identical to a Kimber or Springfield. This narrative is frustrating. We need to pick one coat or made in USA.

Wait till the part 2 of the b45r drops. You will be happy if you are a b45r fan.

So tisas or rock island armory ?

@@jessesilva4190 Tisas all the way.

😎

LOL...they're now in the 2011 space!

Appreciate the follow my friend. I got one more coming to kick off 2024. I had to add some sauce to this one.

It’s ok! Relax!!!!!

Please do share that grip info. Those fit too perfectly on this pistol.

MIM makes no difference in my opinion. The tisas is great but I am stating to see some play in the slide and frame but it still shoots great

It's a great way for someone to try a 1911 style pistol and not break the bank. And there are other less expensive models that shoot just as well.

I use entry in regards mainly to price. The Tisas pistols offer a lot for the money. They are a great entry level pistol for the person who might be waiting their first 1911. When a lot of 1911's with less features are close to the 1k mark.

@@Gator69420 no

I’m guessing the Professional model, Springfield closed their custom shop and no longer make the Professional.

For $30 its probably one of the magwells from Wilson Combat that hook over the bushings. Your mileage may vary on those because normally the grips have to be relieved on the inside to make space for the hooks if you don't want gaps between your grips and the frame.

Get a smith and Alexander Maxwell..don't buy that Wilson hook on pos.

Welcome. You have an awesome grandpa. 🤙

The JSOC is coming.

@@rdrgear Sounds good didn't seem like this one, but wanted to check. Is the JSOC going to retail for sub 1k or what is the plan?

@@rdrgear Edit: I now see the JSOC model it is from a different SDS Import brand of "MAC, military armarment corp." not Tisas. I found it and it is for sale now online at least sorry for the prior confusion. Have you seen the Tisas model Night Stalker SF with a grey tint cerakote? That is listed as coming to the Tisas website it's a looker! Also Tisas appears to be launching 3 different 9mm 1911 double stack models. I hope you are getting a testing and evaluation double stack I'm going to be searching for one of those bad boys as soon as they are released.

The fiber optics and the frame checkering on the enhanced I feel is worth it

@@rdrgear appreciate ya

What back story?

Enhanced duty

I shot one. I could not keep it running. The Tisas offers way more features out the box than alll of the current "US" made 1911's in the same price point.

SR1911 doesn't compare well to this gun. The Rugers are full of MIM, have no front strap checkering, and does NOT have a forged frame (they are cast). The Tisas is the better product.

E-bay

Klonimus and Fusion Firearms make excellent parts for 1911's, Evolution Gun Works makes great stuff too! Klonimus has Mainspring/Magwells at good prices and they fit great.

You are the only one that does. If I'm being totally honest. Most people are slightly more educated.

You don't like 10mm 1911s?

@@rickgrimes931 not for me I'm sure there are people who do. It's just not the round most think it is in my opinion.

@@rdrgear - I love it, especially out of a 6" barrel. But you can't have the weak rounds. You need the full power rounds.

@@rickgrimes931 he only shoots watered down .40 spec loads and can't even run them well, yet talks shit about 10mm when he's yet to even run anything Norma spec or better.

I reached out to Kimber. We will see. Their guns have been rumored to have had some hiccups over the years. Noting. I have experienced personally.

Exactly most don’t understand that. Same with the garbage ass prodigy that they love so much thing is trash imo

Some will upgrade. Pistols are this price point, are entry levels budget friendly pistol. I'm 2600 rounds on two different 1911DS prodigy's. Both original pistol from the launch. MIM is just the cool buzz word as of late. Upside if someone wants to upgrade they can.

@@anthonyjose5644 zero issues with two prodigy's. 1500 on 1. And 1000 on the other.

@@rdrgear mine was absolute hell I’m glad you’re having a good experience

I believe there are no MIM parts on Tisas

Me too. Still it’s a nice pistol. Curious to see how it holds up over time.

I'm honestly looking for the better made gun...I'm buying what I think has the best materials, not solely judging a product on it's origin. Part of being American is having the choice to buy what you want. I'm not going to buy an American made product that's full of MIM when there's an option that's MIM free and proven, for a LOT less. If American companies want my money, they're going to have to play the game equal to or better than the competition. I'm going to buy what I think is best, not what someone else thinks is best.

it is funny some people bad mouth turkish guns because their made in turkey, when we have communist china products in our homes , and to top it off turkey is an ally, no matter what their politics are

Mine says Knoxville TN so I don't know what to say

@@direwolf8703that’s the importer stamp

😂

LOL ........ then throw your "phone" away !!!!!! 🙂 🙂

Go ahead and throw away 90 percent of your stuff then. Will wait.

(Typed on phone made outside of the US)
