I know a couple if people who have the tisas 1911a1 and have nothing but great things to say about.
Personally, i have the tisas stingray in 9mm and it is a fine shooter.

If you want something more correct to the issue US military 1911A1 the Tisas/SDS 1911A1 "Armed Service Family" model is what you seek.

Kinda like your favorite car being a Model T Ford, cool to own, sucks to drive.

Very nice gun. I have their 10mm Commander Size and have no complaints

 

[Bear103]

I’ve handled the night stalker version and it seemed pretty decent. Not sure how they and Girssan or MAC are affiliated if at all.

 

[NMEDGE]

Looks great and the price is right! I just hate getting the "bite". This is why I shy away of original ones. I like the extended beaver tails.

 

[Shibadog]

You do have to admire the genius of JMB. How many other 100+ year old consumer products in a basically original form are still being produced and used, effectively, today? Let’s see, there’s a ma deuce (JMB), a few lever guns (several JMB), and a Colt SAA. That’s about it that come to mind

i have had a "few" A1 1911's, and even the Tisas, just not that particular one.

good near replicas

but i got rid of all of them.

i prefer the 2 tone, or satin or S.S. finishes, over bland looks, which do seem to scratch easier, and no, i am not talking about the "idiot scratch".

and YES, Tisas, and Girsan BOTH, Turkish gun companies.........make fine guns.

I have the chromed version of this and it’s a great gun even with that tiny front sight. But then who cares about sights when you’re hanging with your homies at the BBQ.

Makes me wonder why Colt/CZ couldn't turn out an exact copy of the orginial or have Tisas produce it their specs.

Nah . The firearm equivalent would be carrying a Navy Colt .

This would be comparable to daily driving a '69 Chevy .

For decent quality firearms , at this affordable price point , it's either that , or this :

The CMP 1911A1 is the same as the Tisas/SDS 1911A1 ASF (aka Armed Services Family) (which is a Remington-Rand replica) with the exception that "CMP" is stamped on the frame.
