I came here to see your sights. Cause we have the same gun. I'm surprised to see someone with the same holster I use for paw patrol. Love the simple effective retention button.
The affordable Tisas is at par with the more famous expensively hyped 1911 brands out there. Bang for bang it’s even eating up all the different ammos I fed. The style ( US Army) is superbly done. Accurate and very reliable. Maybe someday very soon it would create a name for itself in the 1911 field. To those who owns a Tisas 1911, I’d say you knows surely knows that everyone doesn’t know yet, you’ve got a good piece of forged metal.
February 2023. I bought a Tisas U.S. Army (WG) M1911A1 In .45ACP. It's a companion piece to my CMP acquired service grade 1943 M1911A1 Remington Rand. Side by side, they make a good pair. The fit and finish are impressive. A quality product that also shoots very well. The first magazine of 230 grain ball anmo I managed 4 of 7 on target, a standard steel silhouette target at FORTY yards. I ran through 150 rounds without a failure to feed or fire. The Tisas is a very nice piece. I expect to get many years of service out of it.
I have a rock island GI but I’ve probably got about 900 bucks in parts on the gun now and countless hours of hand fitting them. I had to rebuild mine because I put roughly 23 thousand rounds through it over the course of 8 years. I just love mine and didn’t want a new gun.
A lot of folks on my other videos were wondering about the sights. I bought mine locally on sale but the same sights are here: www.midwayusa.com/product/1005965738
I love my tisas 1911! Super underrated gun. I’ve had it for two months , runs flawlessly. 250 rounds and counting not one hick up. Talk about bang for Buck! I love those sights, I can’t find the link?
Glad to hear, I really think they’re a great value for the money in my experience so far! I found my sights locally for like $100 on sale so you may want to hunt around a bit but the same exact sights are here: www.midwayusa.com/product/1005965738
Nice! I have a tisas 1911a1 as well. Don’t wanna shoot any of my originals so this is the next best thing. I’ve been reading from a lot of tisas owners the firing pin stop is kinda cheap and many have had theirs crack and they replaced it with a $19 Wilson bullet proof which I’m def gunna do. Was the firing pin drop in, no fitting? Was planning on doing that at the same time just to add a bit of durability.
You have slim line grip panels and standard grip screw bushings.Order a set of slimline grip screw bushings and they will fit flush on the grips,they come with new screws.Brownells sells them
Of course you're entitled to your opinion but i find its super comfortable to shoot, has some good sights and is as reliable as it gets so I'm quite fond of it at this point. Thanks for your input
@RS I understand what Robert Lipsey is getting at, he took a GI 1911 replica and put upgrades on it that take away it’s original form. But it’s not his gun. The owner of the gun can do whatever he pleases and can enjoy it more for those upgrades. One would then say it’s not messed up or ruined, his gun his opinion. Everyone has different opinions and preferences 👍🏻
@@christophermead9800 yeah I thought that might have been what he was getting at but I wanted the frame, grip safety and hammer really, everything else I’d rather have the way I have it currently set up.
@@tsloth1390 For the price, Tisas makes an excellent project gun. You’re getting a forged frame and slide and a working sample 1911. I have the same pistol, the 1911 A1 US Army. I like the classics personally and left mine the way it is, but if I wanted to do a custom build, that would be the gun I would start with 👍🏻
Get rid of the Serpa holster. Many of us who are several years experienced in the firearms community do not condone the use of the Serpa. I had one, got rid of it as soon as I discovered the issue with the Serpa. It is a decent concept however executed poorly. The pin and spring for the push button retention lock are made from terribly cheap carbon steel. The pin and spring rust and the next thing you know your pistol is on the ground.
I just oil them so not a hint of rust but I’ll keep that in mind. The climate where I am is extremely dry so it’s not likely to be an issue for me. I’ve had it for a bit now and it seems to be holding up quite well but of course it’s good to hear others’ experiences. I think if the issue arises I’d probably look to repair it with better spring steel and hardened pin Thanks for your thoughts.
Question. I was considering the Serpa holster, so I'm glad I saw your comment. Got the A1. My first 1911, wanted for a long time. Can you give me some holster makes and models you might prefer? I'm definitely keeping mine old school. Would help me greatly. Thanks.
It’s a stake on sight! You have to break off the old one, clear out the hole it mounts in and then you have to peen the new one in place and file smooth. I held the sight in a padded vice, held the slide in place while I peened the sight on with a hammer and punch. They sell an expensive tool for this but I was able to do it with the corner of a good 1/8” steel punch and then I used a needle file to smooth it out. Hope this helps.
I love mine. Put Colt grips on it to finish up the cloning. One thing that bugged me about your video, I never saw you clear that chamber. When you dry fired it I figured it was 50 50 on the one in the tube.

If you like it I love it brother. It’s supposed to be fit for you. As long as it goes bang and hits its target, it’s good.

Best 1911 MOD i ever seen, you don’t make Starwar laser gun it’s still real 1911 just upgrade it
I really do enjoy it, thanks!

They’re slim challis bushings i promise, they are very thin grips. I don’t mind them the way they are at all in fact, I go over this in the video.
Where did you get the flat mainspring? Would love to do this to mine for the "pre A1" look.
I don’t remember, sorry. Maybe Brownells or fusion firearms. I know I got it online
@@tsloth1390 Ill start looking there thanks yours looks great!
It’s your pistol but as fa as I’m concerned you have messed it up. 🇺🇸
Of course you're entitled to your opinion but i find its super comfortable to shoot, has some good sights and is as reliable as it gets so I'm quite fond of it at this point. Thanks for your input
What? Yes it is his pistol… How did he mess it up?

How did you install the front sight? There is no screw underneath.
It’s a stake on sight! You have to break off the old one, clear out the hole it mounts in and then you have to peen the new one in place and file smooth. I held the sight in a padded vice, held the slide in place while I peened the sight on with a hammer and punch. They sell an expensive tool for this but I was able to do it with the corner of a good 1/8” steel punch and then I used a needle file to smooth it out. Hope this helps.
@@tsloth1390 Nice job! I'd probably have someone do that on my gun. I ended up painting the front sight.
I love mine. Put Colt grips on it to finish up the cloning. One thing that bugged me about your video, I never saw you clear that chamber. When you dry fired it I figured it was 50 50 on the one in the tube.
I cleared it before pressing record but noted.
Any firearms video that does not start with a check showing the weapon is not loaded is totally irresponsible and should be ignored.
Fair enough, it was an oversight for sure. I did of course check before I pressed record.
Simmer down, Outlaw.
