Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns 1911 fans - Whose running Tisas?

Rock Island Armory is still a family run deal and the family likes us. To the people of Tisa land, we are dogs

I have one, $300 shipped a couple of years ago. STUPID reliable and plenty accurate. These are all offhand 25 yd. groups-



My poor ol' Colt Series 70 just sits in the safe now.

1911 a1 here. Surprisingly tight and accurate. Seems to run everything well. Great value

More good info, those 230 XTPs at 1k would take deer and hogs no doubt, and other critters.

Tisas D10, in 10mm of course. I can't find a thing to complain about with it. I have to be real careful what I look at since I am trying to reduce the number of firearms in my safe.

I bought one of those in the middle of December. I've only shot it on one range trip. It shoots pretty good, but not quite as well as my 6" RIA 10mm. I couldn't tell if it was the added sight radius on the RIA, or the fact that the RIA has a better trigger, (the sights are the same, for all intents and purposes). I really like the D-10, though, the checkering is quite nice and it's a good-looking thing. I got it for less than $600, so it's one heckuva deal in any event.
To be fair, I have 14 1911s, and that 10mm RIA has the best trigger of the whole danged bunch, that has to be part of it.

I can't recall having bought a single 1911 that had a trigger that satisfied me (and some were just downright b-a-d!), but then again I have never spent over a grand on a 1911. I do have a sear jig that came from Brownell's, though, and it goes a long way toward a good trigger pull. My current 1911s, the D10 and a SA Range Officer, have very nice triggers courtesy of the jig.

I've had my eye on the Tisas Yukon Carry. Sounds like I can't go wrong.

Price is good and it has everything I'm wanting in my next 1911. Bobbed commander sized 10mm.

Tisas just issued a safety recall on about 5 models....

Funny - this vid just crossed my youtube feed.

Bought the same model, same caliber last year, same results when shooting. It wasn't the most accurate 1911 I've ever owned but plenty good enough and was completely reliable.

One interesting quirk about it, the cerakote finish on mine may have been a bit too thick on the rails. When you pulled the slide back it would stay back without engaging the slide lock, it just stuck there. You could push it forward easily enough and it never affected the function.

Overall impression of Tisas jive with most folks. Not top of the line for the breed but they're solid, well priced firearms, and a very literal great bang for the buck.

I've got the "green" usgi version, been wonderful. Buddy got to shoot it and went and ordered one himself. Scratches the ww 1911 itch but wont cost ya 1500-2000. They got some sharp lookin models on their website, may grab one of those at some point.

Does anyone know if PSA actually makes these or not? Not as cheap as some Tisa’s I’ve seen, but cheaper than others. https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-admiral-m1911-a1-cal-10mm-ultra-fs.html

Fairly sure Rock Island makes the Admiral line for PSA.

I have a plain Jane model right at $300 out the door. I don’t think you can do better for the price.

This ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ according to PSA website

These guns are full of MIM (metal injection molded) parts. If you want to bet your life on MIN guns, be my guest. I'll stick with the old way, machined steel.

From Tisas web:

If I could, I would.

amongst others but it has it's place
