CMP just announced that Tisas will be creating 1911A1 copies in the style of mid WW2 - specifically for CMP with CMP marks on them.

CMP 1911's are expensive and from what I understand, not in an inexhaustible supply. This allows those who want one for sub 500 to get one, shoot it and enjoy rather than worry about a 80 year old pistol and keeping it together.

Iv got one of the 1911 ,45s, it shoots as good as my Colt and my Detonic. Thinking about getting a 9mm Stingray.

I have two Stingrays, they carry REALLY well. The 9mm shoots a little high, the .45 shoots a fuzz low, at 15 yards. Both are good, reliable little pistols. They are my favorite of the Tisas pistols, light, comfortable, reliable, and decently accurate. No sharp edges to poke you, either.

I don't currently own one, but damn of I'm not tempted to add one of these to my collection.

I have three... the government model first and it was such a good deal I bought another, then another... utterly reliable so far with Ball ammo... but then again I do not carry a full size 1911... build quality is very good. certainly one of the best 1911s for the money you spend. I also do not think that the difference between it and my Les Baer is worth the money difference.

Sako,
I've run a lot of my cast TC bullets though my Tisas 1911-a1 without any issue as well as a bunch of XTPs. No problems feeding, etc.

Commander length double stack. I have a Govt length double stack enroute.

I just picked up the Commander length doube-stack yesterday. I don't have a dot sight on it yet, but I did shoot it yesterday. It shows a marked preference for 147 Federals, but 115s and 124s are adequate The 115s shoot REALLY soft. Zero hiccups or pukes for the 150 rounds. I like it a lot more than I thought I would, but it's too wide for a real carry gun, unless you wear a BIG coat. I'm gonna stick with the Stingrays for carry guns.

Somehow that feels sacrilegious.

Lots of good posts folks, thanks!

After buying a Tisas 1911 D10 in 10mm last October, it has rapidly become my favorite 10mm Auto; the only change I have made to the gun has been going to the Tisas green fiber optic front sight. It has been flawless for almost 900 rounds of 180 & 200 grain factory ammunition. I am using Tripp 10mm magazines (there have been no issues with the two factory magazines that came with gun) I cannot believe the quality of the build for the money.

While I wasn't in the market for another 1911 in 45 ACP another Tisas has followed me home. This time it was the Duty Enhanced model in 45 ACP, for a little over $600.00 out the door.

I haven't drunk all of the Tisas Kool-Aid, but these 1911's are a great buy. Yesterday I did a side-by-side comparison with a new Springfield Armory Ronin in 45 ACP and the Tisas Duty Enhanced. The SA Ronin did have better trigger than the Tisas, the overall fit and finish was a tie. The Tisas has no MIM parts and very good front strap checkering & undercut trigger guard. The SA Ronin was $250.00 more than the Tisas; I honestly don't see the additional $250.00 for the SA Ronin.

I know that the Tisas is not a Nighthawk, Rock River, Wilson Combat or Ed Brown 1911 but they are sure a good value for the money.

If we can get winter to stop, I'll get the new Tisas out and see how it shoots.

Just a factor of Turkish skilled labor being much cheaper.
