  • This past year we brought a lot of what I consider budget friendly single stack 1911's to the channel. Out of all the 1911's in this budget friendly category, there was one pistol that out shined them all.

    TISAS is the best thing to happen for the 1911. These other manufacturers charge way too much for their name.

      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.

    I picked up a Tisas B45R for 329.00 last year. At that price, I couldn't resist. I cannot recommend it enough. The only thing I did to mine was slightly beveling the ambi safety. The safety out of the box is a little sharp to my liking. After the first outing, being a 500 round day, I was quickly started to see wear on my gloves. 30 minutes and some time with my stones and boom. Done. Worth every penny!!!

    just a heads up. The stainless slide stop and ambi safety are MIM. I spoke to Tisas and confirmed for the stainless guns, they are using left over MIM parts in these despite the advertisements. You can however, request a machined slide stop as a replacement for free, but not the ambi as they do not have any machined safeties in stainless at this time.

    anyone else out there put different grip widths on the frame? thinner where the fingers press, full standard inside the palm side? All I ask is you think about how your hand grips the gun. Been shooting 1911's since 85, carried off duty since 85, until retirement in 2012. Now ccw . I shoot same same all the time when other folks want to see how their pistol shoots etc, I found the probability of natural alignment seems to happen more naturally. Before the 'LOL's" may I ask that you try it ? No sarcasm, seriously asking for your resulting opinion.

  • @ISPhotographic
    @ISPhotographic 5 місяців тому

    When it comes to 1911s it’s not like this model over here has a better trigger than that model over there… the reality is you either got one where somebody bothered to tune the sear spring or they didn’t. Improving the trigger pull on any 1911 is very straightforward and should not dictate which gun you purchase. Barrel fitment and proper lock up and timing is more important, and are areas where the Tisas generally suffers.

      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.

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.
