@@wandabustrycki9819 it shouldn't take a gunsmith to sell the guns. The guns should speak for themselves. As well, there's nothing wrong with someone conducting a review of the product. Those that own and use the product are going to have a different perspective than a gunsmith (Tisas gunsmith or otherwise), and frankly, I don't GAF about buzzwords or who spouts them (like there aren't shitty gunsmiths in the world).
I am pleased with my Tisas 1911 B 45 Duty model. I have no issues, I find the quality and value of this platform exceptional. I highly recommend it. Great video, appreciated 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Had this exact same one ran flawlessly no break in period it would eat anything you fed it hollow points FMJ everything shot it very frequently put about 3,000 rounds through it no malfunctions besides the mecgar mag started using my Ed Brown and my Kimber mags and no hang ups no nothing extremely reliable I would trust this with my life and I did for a long time
Love my b45 carry. When i originally got it (2 years ago), it would run fmj no issue. But hollow points were hit and miss even after break in. Sds stood by their product. Responded to my service request withing 4 hours. Paid for shipping both ways, fixed the issue and put in an upgraded mag release. Gun has run flawlessly ever since.
I couldn't tell any discernible difference in sound between the more expensive models and the tisas when the safety was checked. I have the 9mm tank commander which is my 1st 1911 & I absolutely love it.
I have one of the old ZIG commander sized guns and it didn't feed hollow points when I got it. I polished the feed ramp and the barrel throat and chamber to a mirror sheen and it runs hollowpoints very smoothly. It will also cylce spent cases by hand now.
I have a B45, B45SS, Tanker and the new D10. So far not a single issue with any of them (though I haven't gotten around to shooting the D10 yet, but have cycled ammo through it a few times mainly to test if 10mm will work in the CMC .45acp 10rd mags) but I also have changed out a TON of items on them all. Every single one has gotten a new trigger, B45 got a new slide (One with no front serrations) as well as a "45 super kit". All of them have gotten a full length guide rod, all have SS barrel bushings, new grips, Tanker has all SS parts (Mag release, thumb safety, slide catch, "1911 pin set", commander hammer) With that said, I shot them all before upgrading them and they all ran flawlessly. Out of every single one of my 1911/2011's I own, the Tisas Tanker has the absolute best trigger. It's probably around 3lb's and there is absolutely ZERO take up. Its immediately on the wall. Unbelievable trigger. Been trying to tune all my 1911 and 2011 triggers to match it but haven't been able to do it yet though my STI Tactical 4.0 is close, it's just missing the crisp break that the Tanker has. I couldn't recommend these new Tisas enough. There isn't another 1911 on the market under $1500 that has a fully forged gun. The only 2 parts on the Tisas that are MIM is the firing pin stop (Will be forged when they run out of their current batch) and the plunger tube. Seriously high-quality firearm for the price of chinesium junk. A winning combo. I anticipate the price on these will go up another $200 in the next year or so given how well they are selling.
Question - is there a way to tell the "new" Tisas from the old? Did model numbers change or is it just up to production dates or serial numbers? Im interested in the B45, because of the upgraded sight cuts and the beavertail safety.
I love my Tisas. It is very accurate out of the box. The trigger is great. I will get some nice G-10 grips, but that is about it. It likes SIG V-Crown HP ammo. I have the same model, but in black. Great review. Thanks.
Did a lot of research on budget 1911's. Just bought Tisas 1911 Duty B45. Can't wait till it gets here. Your video sealed it. I made the right choice. Got it for $390 on sale!
Just ordered mine yesterday in black in the 4.25 commander size! Happy to hear it’s a good gun after couple years and with a decent trigger compared to a Taurus pt1911
I have the basic "service" model that I picked up last December. It had some ftc/ftb issues here and there in the first few hundred rounds (break in related, perhaps), but I'm close to 3,000 now and it runs like a champ. Eats any and all ammo I throw in it.
I am having issues with that safety beavertail beating my hand up. They don't have a DROP IN upswing tail for the service they tell me. Gonna sell this one and look for one with the UpSwing Safety beavertail.
Great video! I own the Zig SS service and commander and not experienced one FTF, FTE in 1500 rounds. I also bought the 45 A1 recently but haven't shot in yet. This one came with 2 checkmate mags.
When did they start using a polymer msh? I have the earlier zig stamped version and there's no plastic anywhere except the grips. It had zero issues outta the box. I replaced the guide rod with a full length, internals with WC and the grip panels and added the Pearce finger groove insert. Dead accurate and eats any ammo I feed it. Now it has a steady diet of Hornaday custom 230gr XTP +P and it's never hesitated nor missed.
I have the duty model black finish. When I first got it feed great then it started FTF only on the 3rd round it happened about 3 times but the problem went away and since then feeds flawlessly. Mine came in a box only one magazine no cleaning brush . I did buy another magazine from SDS and they sent a bushing removal tool
I have their 1911A1 "Service" model,bought it used.Ive put well over 8,000 rounds thru it and it runs like a champ.Bought their B45 "Carry" model new,over 5,000 rounds thru it now.GREAT guns!
I have one of the 1911 Duty models, I think it is. Anyway, it’s a black full size 1911. I’m very pleased with it. Initially, it would jam on the first two rounds from a full magazine. I replaced the magazine catch with one that holds the mag .040 higher in the well, and that fixed it. Also, the spade hammer bit my hand. Not a problem for everybody, but I replaced the hammer with a Commander style, and no more bite. I don’t think you can beat Tisas for the money.
I love my full size GI version. Way better than the Rock Island one I purchased. What sucks though is that mine doesn't say Knoxville Tennessee on it and I live in Knoxville.
I'm assuming the one i just purchased is a newer model because it has nicer grips and sights compared to the one in this video. I was able to pick it up for only $400 thanks to a black friday deal at Fin Feather Fur Outfitters, im absolutley stunned by the quality so far. this is my second Tisas 1911, the first being a regular M1911 A1 Service model, i am very pleased with that one, so it is safe to say im thrilled with this new duty model.
What’s the upgraded versions UPC? Lots of sites have it available but saying it comes with one mag. I want to get this full kit and not ripped off by company giving me the old version or the old cardboard box minus one magazine. Thanks!
I have the exact same gun little bit a little bit older but it still works good it has no problem loaded hollow-tip point and shooting them I have not had it jam yet
Thanks for the review.....on another note, my edc is full size kimber custom ll, abt 5k rounds through her in the last 2 years, only had 3 or 4 jams over that time (don't feel like digging out round count notebook), 2k have been hollwpoints. I run federal hst, fiocchi, blazer, geco, and federal fmj. Nice to see others who carry Kimbers as well.
I put 100 rds thru mine today, same gun. Shot sweetly, happy with my purchase! Out the door was $668.74. Added a hogue grip, has a great feel. *Edit Got it this morning, out of N GA
Hi. Noah from Texas. Great video and an awesome review. Hey I bought 3 Tisas 1911 45 , and I just love them! I paid $325 + shipping + ffl fee. I would say each one cost me about $340 - 350 each. They will even chamber +P rounds with no problem. Also they don't have much of a kick to them. My Beretta 40's have a much harder kick than the Tisas.
Of course they will run +p or 45 Super,( heavy recoil spring, full length guide rod and a fully supported chamber) it's within the design of a 45acp and its capabilities generally speaking in 1911 configuration 45acp.
Mine has zig on the side but I frankly haven't had any issues with it feeding hollowpoints I've gone thru a mag or two and shot about 700-800 rounds total with maybe 4 failures to feed but with a simple pull back of the slide it chambered it
@@TheJimminiShow mines is the carry model and the oem trigger. The only thing I replaced was the main spring housing to have a magwell and g10 grips/screws.
I was gifted a Zig Tsas from my brother who had it for a few years. He said he’s never had an issue with it but when I got it, it didn’t really like to feed JHP. Nor could I get a chambered JHP round to eject to clear the gun. However, it eats any 230 ball round all day with 0 issues. I’m not concerned about over penetration as that’s rarely ever a serious concern with just about any hand gun caliber. (Not counting revolver rounds in magnum). So if I carry this gun I carry 230 range ammo. Laugh if you want but a .45 ball round is responsible for many holes in cemeteries all over the world in the last century. Stay safe y’all. Carry everyday.
I have a TISAS M1911 A1 GI version here Turkish Rep. very good pistol. Your Inox price tag here $520 (due to additional internal tax). You are lucky and you can buy it more economic than a Turkish man.
I noticed your guide rod spring has an open end, mine came with the spring that has both ends closed. And I could be wrong but you reassembled your spring with the open end towards the guild rod which is backwards.
I might need to get me another. I had a b45 carry and the slide stop would move and cause stoppages. Called tisas they sent a new slide stop but it still did it so I got rid of it.
I’m thinking really hard about getting the Tisas Carry. I saw it for $450 but I’m hesitant ‘cause I’ve never heard of that brand before. I did some research and word has it, they’re quite good. I’ve never owned a 1911 before but I do want one, so I was wondering. If I were to purchase this gun, aside from Wilson Combat extended mags, what other upgrades would you recommend done so this gun can be great?
Got my b45 the other day. Looks and feel very good. Took it out to the range and put 75 rounds through it. I had 22 instances were the slid wound not go fully into battery. It appered that the cartride rim was no going up behind the extractor all the way. I took the weapon apart and radiusd the extractor and polished it up. Also noticed that the slide stop and slide stop notch on the slide hsd been peened and you could see and feel a raised area on the slide by the notch. Barrel also leaded up pretty bad. Looked inside muzzle of barrel and it was pretty rough with chatter marks on top of lands. Little disappointed. Will shoot it a bit more and see what happens. May need to send it bacl to sds.
This sounds like an ammo issue to me . Also, You have to break in 1911’s Usually about 300 to 400 rounds. Some of the high end 1911’s manufacturers tell you not to send them back for issues till you’ve got 500 rounds shot thru them.
2024 They are 670$ ish now. I had a Colt XSE combat commander that I got rid of years ago and regretted it. Well fast forward to now and that Colt that I bought new for around 800$ is now a 1,200 dollar pistol. So I bought that Tisas carry stainless 4.25 (commander size.) The Tisas pistol is every bit as nice as the Colt was, the fit and finish is outstanding.
I definitely don't understand why people would want a firing pin block on a 1911. You shouldn't have a round in the chamber with the hammer down. I get why they have the firing pin block in the Beretta 92, for example, because it has a decocking safety and da/sa trigger, so people carry those with the hammer down and a round in the chamber.
Buy one online. That's how I get most of my guns. You can get the exact model/features you want, at a price you're willing to pay, not just what the store decided to offer for sale. Beats driving all over town.

Does the gun in this vid have a stamp on the bottom of your dust cover that says"zig m45 turkey". My new b45 does. Why would the model i bought, a B45 say M45 on slide dust cover.
Picked up the 5" Manta Ray Duty on Friday and had repeated nosedives on the 8th round in the magazine (roughly 50% of the time, ball rounds). I packed it up after the grips started coming loose with less than a 100 rounds through the weapon. Really disappointing considering the positive word of mouth Tisas is getting across the board.
Did you clean the gun and lube it before you took it out ? 1911’s like lube. Also change ammo if you’re having problems like that. 1911’s need a break in, usually 300 to 400 rounds.
@winnon992 No, I fired it right out of the box. The magazines that came with the weapon were absolute garbage. Replaced them with Vickers Tactical mags and I haven't had a malfunction since. Replaced the cheap grip screws with torx screws from Wilson Combat and no further issues with the grips coming loose.
@The Jimmini Show so I been seeing in some 1911 Tisas forums that Tisas stopped MiM post October 2022 So on the forums people are trying to determine what date was their Tisas manufactured in And the consensus is that the Serial Number usually starts as “T1234-22XXXXXX” And the number after the dash indicates the manufactured date so in the example above it would be 2022 I noticed the gun you featured in this video has a 23 after the dash However once you took it apart and looked underneath the slide you said it was made in 2020? Looking to get some clarification on that from anyone that may know I am looking to purchase one of these but I’d prefer one made post 2022 to avoid the MiM parts Thanks y’all!!!
Yeah...That's probably NOT firearms/shooting lube It's more likely an anti corrosion oil unless It says specifically it is, always clean,Inspect and lube a new gun...ask me how I know.
I am new to the 1911 world. I own the Tisas 191145BR. I have shot around 250-300 rounds so far. No complaints. Yes, the disassembly and reassembly process takes a little getting used to doesn't it?
If you're satisfied with where the money is going, then buy. I used to say that about Chinese stuff, but no longer bother. We've empowered one military enemy, and now we're working on another.
I know this is a great deal. But by time I saved 350.00 this price will change, a year from now! Yes, I'm living on social security income! Sucks, I need a good reliable, trustworthy tool for protection, us elderly are prime targets for criminal attacks! Is there used or blemish smaller 1911,in 9mm? Under 275? Used? I Know, it is probably low balling a good 1911,but that's all I have for the moment, wish I were 35 years younger
I noticed that you didn't comment on whether or not you thought that a full-length guide rod was of any value on a 1911? Stands for stainless steel it was made in 2020 it is the most useless accessory ever put on any 1911 it has no value what so freaking ever. I am however a bit shy and don't date my opinions quite readily at times. I've actually had somebody in the past that told me that full length guide rods reduce coil bind. The only reason you would suffer coil-bind in a recoil spring on a 1911 is because you didn't fit it to the gun in the first damn place. And it wouldn't matter whether he had a full length guide rod or not you're still going to suffer coil buying if the coil spring is too damn long.
We took control of our brand earlier this year and have more things coming! We appreciate the video and glad you are happy with your pistol!
Did Tisas fix the feed ramp issue?
Waiting for a bull barrel model from tisas.

Got a brand new carry model this year and love it. Blown away by what I got for the price

So far not a single issue with any of them (though I haven't gotten around to shooting the D10 yet, but have cycled ammo through it a few times mainly to test if 10mm will work in the CMC .45acp 10rd mags) but I also have changed out a TON of items on them all.

Great re review this affordable 1911 seems like a bang for its bucks
I like that they did away with the lanyard ring !
Please do a video on the Girsan 1911, maybe a Girsan vs Tisas video would be nice. Thumbs up as always.
I have looked at one before. I am probably going to get the 9mm 4.4 in Gershon 1911 with the optic next
I have one of each the girsan has a trigger like a high dollar 1911, mine has a 3lb trigger and it's a stocker.
Why pull the recoil spring out before removing the slide during take down procedure?

That's actually a good price I feel for a 1911. I would give it a whirl for sure 😃
That's such a nice 1911!
It does have a zig engraving under the barrel where a rail would go on yours. At least on mine it does and I just bought it this year.
I JUST SEEN IT AT 4:13
Hi. Noah from Texas. Great video and an awesome review.
Hey I bought 3 Tisas 1911 45 , and I just love them! I paid $325 + shipping + ffl fee. I would say each one cost me about $340 - 350 each. They will even chamber +P rounds with no problem. Also they don't have much of a kick to them. My Beretta 40's have a much harder kick than the Tisas.
Of course they will run +p or 45 Super,( heavy recoil spring, full length guide rod and a fully supported chamber) it's within the design of a 45acp and its capabilities generally speaking in 1911 configuration 45acp.
I’m from Louisiana. I’ve got four Tisas 1911’s. 9 mm , 2 45acp.’s, and a 10 mm. All Great guns.

I have the black cerakote version and brand new right out of the box it was wet not needing to be taken down to cleaned n oiled
Mine says Zig45 on the underneath of the shroud in front of the trigger, so they are still using the Zig name and parts.

If I were to purchase this gun, aside from Wilson Combat extended mags, what other upgrades would you recommend done so this gun can be great?
McGars are very good. So are KCI
Also you can get them for $22. To $28 usually ! Wilson’s are a lot more $$
I’m glad I was able to snag this beauty for no more than $450
I waiting for my gunsmith to get in a Tisas Yukon Carry, commander size, bobbed frame like your Kimber, fiber optic sights, and 10mm.
Got my b45 the other day. Looks and feel very good. Took it out to the range and put 75 rounds through it. I had 22 instances were the slid wound not go fully into battery. It appered that the cartride rim was no going up behind the extractor all the way. I took the weapon apart and radiusd the extractor and polished it up. Also noticed that the slide stop and slide stop notch on the slide hsd been peened and you could see and feel a raised area on the slide by the notch. Barrel also leaded up pretty bad. Looked inside muzzle of barrel and it was pretty rough with chatter marks on top of lands. Little disappointed. Will shoot it a bit more and see what happens. May need to send it bacl to sds.
That's concerning, thanks for sharing that as its worth mentioning.
This sounds like an ammo issue to me . Also, You have to break in 1911’s Usually about 300 to 400 rounds. Some of the high end 1911’s manufacturers tell you not to send them back for issues till you’ve got 500 rounds shot thru them.
2024 They are 670$ ish now. I had a Colt XSE combat commander that I got rid of years ago and regretted it. Well fast forward to now and that Colt that I bought new for around 800$ is now a 1,200 dollar pistol. So I bought that Tisas carry stainless 4.25 (commander size.) The Tisas pistol is every bit as nice as the Colt was, the fit and finish is outstanding.
VERY INFORMATIVE VIDEO BROTHERMAN, I REALLY LIKE THIS!!😀👍👍👍👍🤟🤘😊Howard M.~4/6/2024
Man you really need to get a TriStar p120
What's the difference between the Zig and the new version?
I think no MIM parts
I definitely don't understand why people would want a firing pin block on a 1911. You shouldn't have a round in the chamber with the hammer down. I get why they have the firing pin block in the Beretta 92, for example, because it has a decocking safety and da/sa trigger, so people carry those with the hammer down and a round in the chamber.
Love mine, I EDC mine sometimes when Im not carrying my H&K 45C. Never had any feed issues or issues at all, eats hp like candy.
I have the older zig model have had no problems at all my only complaint is it is very hard to rack spring pressure sems to hi but nice gun
I always cock the hammer and then work the slide. Makes it much easier.
Does your gun say Zig on the dust cover in front of the trigger guard?
I just received this gun and it came with rubber and plastic grips.
How does yours shoot? Don’t consider myself a great shot but have been shooting for years and notice that mine doesn’t seem to shoot straight.
Great video and very informative! I'm glad I picked up my tisas not to long ago.
Yours didn't come with a takedown tool? Never mind I saw it in the box.
I’m really looking hard at their Stakeout model …
Excellent firearm. Hopefully they could keep the price down. It's got a really lot going for it.I want one in 45acp.Can only find 9mm in My area.
Buy one online. That's how I get most of my guns. You can get the exact model/features you want, at a price you're willing to pay, not just what the store decided to offer for sale. Beats driving all over town.

Does the gun in this vid have a stamp on the bottom of your dust cover that says"zig m45 turkey". My new b45 does. Why would the model i bought, a B45 say M45 on slide dust cover.
Where did you buy it? When ? I'm about to buy a Carry Stainless .45...maybe railed. Waiting for your answer!
@@blafishing7581 bought from classic firearms online about three weeks ago.
Have to say I really don't want to like Tisas but for the price and how well they shoot its hard to not like them I have gotten several now
Are'nt Rock Island made in Phillipines?
Yes
The mainspring housing is machined steel, not polymer.
Not on this one ot isn't. Very clearly polymer.
We’ve never sold a gun with a plastic mainspring housing. Please either remove it and verify, or scratch it with something.
Picked up the 5" Manta Ray Duty on Friday and had repeated nosedives on the 8th round in the magazine (roughly 50% of the time, ball rounds). I packed it up after the grips started coming loose with less than a 100 rounds through the weapon. Really disappointing considering the positive word of mouth Tisas is getting across the board.
Did you clean the gun and lube it before you took it out ? 1911’s like lube. Also change ammo if you’re having problems like that. 1911’s need a break in, usually 300 to 400 rounds.
@winnon992 No, I fired it right out of the box. The magazines that came with the weapon were absolute garbage. Replaced them with Vickers Tactical mags and I haven't had a malfunction since. Replaced the cheap grip screws with torx screws from Wilson Combat and no further issues with the grips coming loose.
@The Jimmini Show so I been seeing in some 1911 Tisas forums that Tisas stopped MiM post October 2022
So on the forums people are trying to determine what date was their Tisas manufactured in
And the consensus is that the Serial Number usually starts as
“T1234-22XXXXXX”
And the number after the dash indicates the manufactured date so in the example above it would be 2022
I noticed the gun you featured in this video has a 23 after the dash
However once you took it apart and looked underneath the slide you said it was made in 2020?
Looking to get some clarification on that from anyone that may know
I am looking to purchase one of these but I’d prefer one made post 2022 to avoid the MiM parts
Thanks y’all!!!
Is it more accurate ??? The first one were crap MHO .
I do not understand a person having a minor problem and refusing to use the warranty?
teasauce really helps me get my hammer bite going on make sure people know i shoot guns yknow
I sent my unfired Tisas Carry .45 Stainless out and had it high polished..looks like a mirror
Clean
So you accidentally made a bolt action ar15... first thought engine oil! boom! Combat engineering 💯🤷🏽♂️🤘🏾
I hate the ambi safetys on 1911s
I’d say that tisas has better materials than that Kimber. Only mim in my tisas I got for 320 is the hammer and thumb safety. Kimber uses a lot of mim
Bought the same gun for $325 last week
over 10k rounds mine not a single failure
Too bad the takedown and assembly are not visible and off camera.
Fix what?
Yeah...That's probably NOT firearms/shooting lube It's more likely an anti corrosion oil unless It says specifically it is, always clean,Inspect and lube a new gun...ask me how I know.
How you know
The takedown process on 1911s makes me appreciate my Glocks so much more lol 😖🤦♂️🤷♂️
I am new to the 1911 world. I own the Tisas 191145BR. I have shot around 250-300 rounds so far. No complaints. Yes, the disassembly and reassembly process takes a little getting used to doesn't it?
RAW DOG
Why would you not use motor oil? It works in your 50k car.
If you're satisfied with where the money is going, then buy. I used to say that about Chinese stuff, but no longer bother. We've empowered one military enemy, and now we're working on another.
I know this is a great deal. But by time I saved 350.00 this price will change, a year from now! Yes, I'm living on social security income! Sucks, I need a good reliable, trustworthy tool for protection, us elderly are prime targets for criminal attacks! Is there used or blemish smaller 1911,in 9mm? Under 275? Used? I Know, it is probably low balling a good 1911,but that's all I have for the moment, wish I were 35 years younger
I noticed that you didn't comment on whether or not you thought that a full-length guide rod was of any value on a 1911?
Stands for stainless steel it was made in 2020 it is the most useless accessory ever put on any 1911 it has no value what so freaking ever.
I am however a bit shy and don't date my opinions quite readily at times. I've actually had somebody in the past that told me that full length guide rods reduce coil bind. The only reason you would suffer coil-bind in a recoil spring on a 1911 is because you didn't fit it to the gun in the first damn place. And it wouldn't matter whether he had a full length guide rod or not you're still going to suffer coil buying if the coil spring is too damn long.
I just add three or $400 and get me a Kimber
Fix what i have had two and they both are awesome. Know many people who are happy with theirs.
