This model is kinda neat.

I think we would all like to have a new pistol.

Next Turkish pistol I’m going to try is one of these.

The link is not to a pistol.

Yeah, I probably would have gotten the smooth frame too but this is what they had in stock. I was going to order one but found this one locally for $389 so no shipping or transfer fees. Mine will be nothing more than a range toy so it's really not important. Either is fine. If I was planning to carry it the grips would be about perfect.

Oh chit, anyway it was for the Yukon carry model in 10mm.

been thinking about buying one of them myself I fondled one the other day and didn't seem too bad

I was looking last night at it and I’m going to wait and get the new compact one that is coming out right about now.

The Turkish pistols are about as good as anything out there right now. I don’t how they make them so good for so cheap.

And with PSA turning out the Glock clones in their Dagger series for around $300, this is hand gun Nirvana. They’ve never been this cheap. You can get a PSA Dagger Glock 19 clone and ten magazines for $359.

Ha! With the free ammo, shipping and 10 extra mags, they're almost giving that pistol away for free. It's tempting but,,,,,,, I don't want a safe full of Turkish pistols either . I already have a Canik TP9 SFX and now this Tisas. That's enough! (keep telling myself that )

The PSA Daggers are made in America so purchase as many as you want in good conscience.

WOW!

God help me but I believe you're right.

Kinda sorta looking at the SA Prodigy. Only had one DS 1911 and it went away a long time back. Its no Staccato but around half the cost.

I have had the Match version of that for a couple of months and it is a great shooter. Dead reliable and accurate. I did clean up the trigger though it wasn't terrible as it came.

I've been looking for one of those myself, but they don't seem to be available around here. I've got requests out for notifications from the usual suspect online shops, but so far, no joy. I've got enough stuff to play with, that would just about lock me down for good. Then again, I'm kinda wanting one of those Tisas Desperados, too. We'll see what crops up first...........

EAA is bringing in the Girsan line from Turkey. They have several 1911 and Beretta 92 looking pistols. I think they even have a Hi Power. The few reviews I've seen have been positive, but I haven't seen any high round count reviews either.

The Tisa's look nice and would likely make a fun and inexpensive plinking pistol. However, I won't be seriously interested in any of 'em until some noted 1911 mechanics give their blessing.

Well, I went and shot it and I'm very happy with the results. It was accurate and reliable, it went 300 rounds without a hiccup so I figured I would address the 2 short comings I have with the pistol. IMO the grips would be ok for a IWB carry pistol. They aren't slippery but I like a lot more grip texture and the lack of front strap checkering is annoying. I put a pair of Hogue Chainlink grips on it. These are the most aggressive grips I've ever used. When you clamp down on them, they clamp back. I run these on both of my 1911's and really like them. The lack of front strap checkering was another problem. I wasn't going to spend what it would cost to have it checkered but really didn't want to use "skateboard tape" either. I found this front checkered panel from Wilson Combat and figured I would give it a try. The finished result is fantastic but it was a nightmare installing it. I was worried about it slipping so I put a little "welders" contact cement under it. This stuff stays flexible and will peel off if needed. What I DIDN'T realize is all that checkering is porous! I put the contact cement on and pressed it to the frame and a bunch cement oozed though the checkering and made a big mess. I was able to clean it up with some paint thinner and a soft wire brush and it all ended well. The only other thing I'll probably do to it is I'll have a spare Dawson Precision fiber optic front sight soon and will put it on this pistol along with blacking out the two white dots on the rear sight. I'm very happy with my purchase!

What does Wilson Combat call that grip checkering panel ?

Cement might work (see above) but two-sided tape is easier and less messy.
