I’m the new owner of a Tisas 1911 from SDS imports. This is my 1st 1911. I bought the blem model 1911/A1 in .45 and paid $319.99 free shipping. I’m impressed.. are other people too? Also - I can’t find the blemish.

The "blemish" would be the slide and frame colors not quite matching.

This is my blem Tisas 1911A1 U.S. Army. Note the difference in color between the slide and frame. Otherwise it's perfect in every way. I have yet to shoot it as I'm old and it's just been too darn hot.

I 💚 blems!!! 😎

My PARA Expert Lightweight Commander was a 'blem'. $400 NIB, and I got a $100 rebate. This has turned out to be one of the most reliable Commander-size pistols I ever owned or played with! All the bells and whistles that I spent a lot of time and money on for my others included!

And I've put a few more 'blems' on it myself since!

I like it! 😍Looks like a typical USGI pistol. Some mid~late war Rem-Rands had a slight color mismatch between frame/slide/small parts fresh from the factory.

Yes

Yes

nice, i have the Service Model because that's what was available in town. i liked the Army Model better as far as looks, but they work the same so. i might order an Arched Main Spring housing for mine, just to try. need to finf some Wood Grips too...

Yeah - a few things I want to do to mine as well!

Love my blem .45!!! Got the 9mm in the safe. Put GI issue grips on from eBay Look perfect

 

[2aCrisis]

Yup,,, I love the classic look. Since I probably won’t be getting the real deal, these are a great alternative…

I have been looking about buying one of these just because it is such a good deal.

Not only a great alternative but these are likely to be better made than the originals.

One of the tags of this post is “cheap 1911” but it is better described as inexpensive. Doesn’t feel cheap at all.

i certainly don't feel i have to feel like i have a second rate firearm, i am very surprised they haven't caught on faster. they may lack some refinement but they are built right, with enough attention to detail to make it hard to fault. i am happy to see them selling enough to keep them coming into the stores. i really wish i had the cash to pickup another to stick in the safe, i really expect the prices to rise to where they are just another 1911 in the show case. Tisas has been making 1911's for awhile and from reading reviews that stretch back quite a few years, it sounds like their quality has been steadily rising, maybe due to SDS Imports. they seem to want to pin a quality 1911 to their name. Springfield has been bringing in Croatian made guns for years with great success, Turkish guns are also working to prove their workmanship in firearms.

Purchased a tisas 1911 army model. I opened the box, loaded the two eight round mags it came with and 10 more mixed bag of blue and stainless 8 mags, also 7 round GI surplus from god knows were or when. That about 80 to 90 rounds of 230 grain factory ball, and 185 gr cast lead wadcutters, 5 grain bullseye. No cleaning, no oil, not even a wipe down every round, every mag, every load and bullet style functioned 100%. It's not as pretty as my stainless colt LW commander but runs every bit as well every time for $600 + less. Ya just gotta love it.

I haven’t heard any bad reports on the Tisas. Those shown look like a good gun for the money!
