I do not own a Tisas but I sure would like to.  Those Turks make some fine firearms.

Yes. Simply Yes. I was laughed at when I bought my fist one. The low price alone talked me into it. That's been 6/7(?) years ago and I own several now. Not getting laughed off the range(when I last went anyway) for my guns...just my shooting skills.

Last Tisas/SDS I bought was a SS 5" model. It's the tightest 1911 I have ever seen.

Where did  you find it and how much?

The Ultimate came from Shooting Surplus

I paid $1090 plus shipping.  When trying to locate these, search for both Tisas and SDS Imports.

Oh look, it’s back again! The thread that never stops!

That’s a great price on a basic 1911! I have the Tisas U.S. Army 1911a1 and it a very reliable pistol. And as JMB intended, it’s combat accurate. I bought it because it was the closest model for sell, that was like the one I carried in the Army. But instead of “character lines” it looks brand new.

BTW, if you Google Tisas 1911a1, this thread comes up first.

[Snaveba]

It has to be resurrected every quarter.

It’s been that way for years.

What is preferred 1) starting a new thread about an existing topic or 2) resurrecting an old thread? Seems like half prefer one and half prefer another.

I’m of the opinion that it really depends on a few factors like how long the thread has been dormant and does the prior conversation on the topic bear directly (like providing context) to the new related post.

That's a hell of a buy. I nice set of Walnut ot Cocobolo grips from CDNN, and you'll have a nice looking, nice shooting 1911.

I have no preference.  It's just funny how this thread seems to roll around every three months or so. It's been going on and on and on since Nov. 11th, 2013. And honestly, most  of the opinions about this pistol are not in line with the OP's. Mine certainly are not! 

BTW, for those that don't know the original poster, TankerHC, was kicked off this forum not very long after he started this thread.

[Grayfox54]

In all fairness, back when this thread started Tisas were relatively new to the market. At that time, they weren't much.  But now, 9 years later, Tisas makes a good, reliable and inexpensive gun. So the OP may very well have been right. But times and Tisas have changed.

If it relates to a Tisas, always resurrect this thread. Lord willing, this will go on forever. 

[Snaveba]

That’s why I posted where I did.
