I got my 1911 A1 Army (the latest incarnation of this gun, just hit the market) on the last Black Friday for only $300, took it to a range and put 28 FMJs through it and 20 Federal HST hollow points through it without a flaw. Granted, not much ammo yet, but I had put a red dot on my EDC and had to use the time to dial it in and make sure it held the adjustment. The Tisas is more accurate than I am, and just impressed the heck out of me. A guy on KZfaq tried to have a conversation with me to tell me how bad the guns are. Yeah....versus the numerous positive demonstrations of the gun here on KZfaq. Then when I took mine to the range it performed as expected, flawless. Can't wait to take it to the club and shoot half a day with it and see what happens. I know a lot of fun will be happening though. These are well made guns. I don't know about how they were years ago, but they are right on now.

Bought one of these since I never had a 1911. Sometimes buying a cheap version of something can put you off from progressing because they're not really good but I was very surprised at how well they're made and how well they work. I would definitely recommend one of these as a lower cost way to learn to shoot a 1911. Even got a holster and use it for concealed carry on occasion. During the break in period I had the same issue with hollow points but I think it's just the nature of their design. After 500 rounds it will feed everything and no issues. Even went through a couple boxes of the aluminum Blazer rounds without choking on them.

My Tisas Carry had a couple of issues at first, magazine and extractor related. Easy and inexpensive fixes and now it runs like a sewing machine. I love it.

Tea Sauce = Tisas, great 1911’s, I just picked up the Duty B45 and absolutely love it. Out of the box 300 rounds through it and 0 malfunctions, for $349 you cannot beat it.

Have my eye on one of those! Thanks for the review!

I have that exact 1911 on my hip as I write this in a reproduction M1917/42 leather holster. I put aftermarket double diamond wood grips on my 1911's only because that is a personal preference.

I have 2 Tisas 1911's. The 1911A1 chambered in 45acp & The D10 chambered in 10mm and they both shoot fantastic. I will also be adding the Nightstalker. Haven't decided yet on 45 or 10mm. I am very that Tisas makes a budget 1911 that works. I would love to have a Dan Wesson, Wilson Combat, etc. my budget will not allow for that. Thanks for the review and thanks to Tisas.

I had 2 tisas’s one was a 1911 us army the other was the service model and both shot good and had good accuracy I haven’t had one issue out of both

I would have liked to have seen more brass to see if they all had light primer strikes. These new models are equipped with a light weight titanium firing pin that may be a little tight fit for now? The failure to feed looked like a mag issue? I just bought one of the new Tisas 1911 A1 "ASF" U.S. Army 9's and the mags were hard to load because they were so dry, I oiled both mags before firing and I had no issues with ball or HP rounds. The stock Army sites are terrible especially the front being curved.

I have this same Tisas. Impressive for the price. I’ve had 3 malfunctions in the first 200 rounds of FMJ

Appreciate the thorough video, I've been watching these for a year or two. It seems the price of Tisas/SDS .45's are going up. They got them for $319/ free shipping at gunbuyer. I have a Turkish .380 Fatih and a SAR 9mm and they are awesome pistols. I need another 1911 .45 so my Charles Daly isn't lonely. Think I might jump on it, it's a good investment as I always say. Sub'd and Thanks!!

I ordered the same one last week except without the extra grips. Got it for $319.99! I was going to get the A1 Army, but this was actually less money and an improved version IMO. I also ordered a pair of Tisas walnut grips for $20 + ship. Thanks for the excellent video.

That was an interesting safety check by half-pulling the mag!

Just a word of caution to make sure the muzzle is down range when chambering a round into the weapon.

😂 beginning to think you’re my neighbor. I heard shots that match the pattern in your videos. Would love to help with making content if I can get away from the “boss” sometime. This model was in the shop for $365 and I ended up with another Glock but keep regretting not getting one. SDS is dominating the budget market with these given the quality put into them.

Good stuff

TİSAŞ is actually pronounced tesash The S with a "hook" on the bottom, is the Turkish version of sh. The Turkish I sounds like an English E.

Right on, Tisas makes some good 1911's. When it comes to hollowpoints I have found that bullets that are less cone shaped and more round tend to feed better in mine. Norma makes a decent hollow point that tends to run in my guns. They still seem prone to bullet setback though.

The pencil eraser in the tip of the Hornady ammo will cause malfunctions when/if the rubber hits the feed ramp. Not reliable in some guns but prob works fine in Glocks with those big, wide, and less steeped/angled feed ramps.

Any recommendations for a holster for this weapon?

Hows that hammer ? Does it make for zero hammer bite ? I like it if it does because you don’t need the big beaver tail if it does

It's a weird thing to notice, but you only see the left side of this pistol for one split second ( while he's clearing it ) in the whole video. What does it say on the slide?

I had the 1911a1 army replica a couple years back, sold it, and am looking at getting another one. I’m really interested in the service special. My old one had the spur hammer and it would bite the hand every time I shot it with a traditional grip. Does the rounded hammer on the service model fix the hammer bite issue any??

Did you any try any SWC. If you did how did they do?

Tai-sus 😂 I love it sounds much better than Tea-Sauce or Tee-Sash.

When do I turn you AC on

NICE VIDEO ON A GREAT GUN BRO!!!! THANKS!!!!🙃😊👍👍🤟🤘 H.M. 3/25/2024

Also, Canik goes like this John-Nick...say fast CANIK ok?

A1911 was not designed to shoot hollow points

The Tisas 1911s are one of the best deals for not only a 1911 but pistols in general. They are crafted very well with hammer forged steel frames and slides which only more expensive manufacturers do that. Turkish pistols have always been made well however dont get delusional you get what you pay for everytime! Tisas uses garbage magazines and a lot of questionalbe MIM parts that Im not comfortable which make upgrading parts and mags mandatory if you want to take that thing serious.

+p ammo =higher slide velocity. Last round in magazine is under lower spring pressure and is too slow to clear magazine. That’s my internet expert opinion.

TIS-ASH says this

I just watched an entire 40 second Barack Obama ad begging for money for Biden. They now owe you money for advertising. It was painful, but i did it for you.
