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.

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 have the 1911 Duty in 9mm. No complaints either and I have shot probably a couple hundred rounds thru. Ran flawlessly
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.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
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.
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.

8. Does my Tisas Pistol contain any cast or MIM parts? Tisas does not use any cast metal parts on our firearms. The use of quality MIM parts on some models was used in prior generations of our 1911 products but in mid-2022 we began moving away from use of those parts. Tisas models produced after 11/1/2022 contain machined internal parts with the exception of the recoil spring plug which will continue to be a MIM part at a time to be determined.
