Tisas offerings at gun show video

[greg vess]

Tisas models at Gun Show. Looks like the two tone stainless and cerakote has forged frame, slide and barrel and he mentioned 700 selling price. I am going to have to find one with a good frame to slide fit for my next 1911 project gun. It will be a few months out but I like what I am hearing here. The one I handed at a local gun shop was a nice little gun. It was a compact version but I would be all over a full size gun that passed a visual inspect. Looks like they are really concentrating on that 450-750 market hard. I am glad to see it. Somebody needed to offer a 1911 of decent quality in that arena. Taurus was the only half-assed gun in that price range and the triggers sucked. So I am looking forward to working with one.

So far I’m happy with my Tisas 1911 Carry. At ~$450, shipped and transferred, color me impressed.

Kinda surprised that Tisa didn’t come out with a 2011 style for around 1000

I am sure they will work up something in the future once they have a good following with their current offerings. It seems like they are selling their lower priced guns well and getting excellent feedback from what I can see. I hear a lot of brand snobs sticking their noses up at them but those who own and shoot them have nothing bad to say about them as far as I can see. Like I said the one I picked up and looked at was spot on. It had an excellent fit and finish and the trigger was more that satisfactory for that price. Actually real nice. Could use maybe a hair of improvement in the trigger but for the first time 1911 buyer more than adequate and certainly fine for that price range. I mean at 500 bucks, a steal for a upgrade gun.

Love mine! Fit, finish and performance are equal to the name brands!

Not meaning to steal this thread but how is the 1911 different from the 2011?

2011s are double stack and higher capacity, usually with a smaller frame and plastic grip.

1911s are single stack and have metal frame and grip (minus the panels)

I love the black bobtail. Sharp looking grips too. Both of those look great. I noticed that as well at the one I looked at. I picked up a Bul Armory at twice the price right before and there wasn't a whole lot of difference between the two in finish. The Bul Armory felt a tad smoother when I racked the slide but that can be worked out with the right spring upgrade and tune. That's 30 bucks for springs and a little time.

A solid deal for a gun to upgrade and it wouldn't take much to do that.
