Hey there brother first and foremost great video I actually learned a lot, so much appreciated! I have been considering this specific 1911 and will definitely be pulling the trigger on this Keep them videos coming!!
Thank you Sir! I've been hunting for a 1911 for a couple weeks and have done a lot of research on them. Not one review that I've watched has put the Tisas down... and this is my last review! You Sir, layed it all out there! And again, thank you! Grab A Gun has the 5" Duty with the rubber grips for 399 with 15 off for all orders over 250.

I like your videos. I can’t help but think of the old Adams family tv show that featured “the thing “. All we ever saw was a hand and arm that would come out of a box. It’s fun to watch
I have 5 tisas 1911's. Duty and Carry models in 45acp and 9mm. And a Mil Spec model in 45. All have been flawless. The Carry models are in my edc rotation. I'm getting a Tank Commander in 9mm next. And I may see their 10mm model in my collection soon as well. I bought the rubber grips for my Carry models. I do like them a lot. The wood grips tisas has available are great as well. My Mil Spec model came with them installed. Tisas also uses all machined internal parts since Oct of 2022
@mikefranklin1253 Yes I agree. The magazines with mine are not marked by manufacturer, but I do believe they are MecGar, at least they function just as smooth.
Great review brother, nice 1911 45acp.. I can take or leave the safety thing, It dosen't bother me!!!! Brang us more videos, I really like yours, very informative!!!! Thanks~~~~Howard M.~~~~3/24/2024😊👍👍🤟🤘
@janemarkham4133 Thank you so much! I'm planning on doing a short "progress report" on my B45 Duty very soon, which will also feature new grip panels I'll be using. Thanks for watching!👍
I'm looking at the rail version of this gun. Duty version is full length and carry is 4.25 I think? I only have a carry 1911's. (for decades) That price point thing was funny
Yes common sense so many others say they are experts but I have found you don't have to be .tisas is so much better than some of the jam o magics that cost twice as much good video partner
Great video, AWESOME COMMENTARY! Thanks for telling folks what they REALLY need to hear quality, structure, and pricing of 1911s. I learned a hard lesson and spent a good bit of money figuring this out. From EXPERIENCE I can tell you that TISAS are the best kept secret as far as 1911s go.
@davidmabry7819 Thank you so much sir. Yes, I too spent many years and alot of $$ on better known brands of 1911's before I discovered that the Tisas brands were just as good, and for far less $$. And yes, I agree that they are "sleepers" in the 1911 world right now, but I think that's beginning to change! Thanks for watching 👍.
I bought one just because it was cheap and looked well built as I inspected it in the shop. Don’t regret it. The only thing about it that is off, is that one of the 8 rnd mags it came with only holds 7…..tbh, if that’s all that is wrong long term I’d say $400 is a steal lol
I agree with you about ambi "anything" Back in 1990 I went to the local gun store to order a Ruger P90DC 45ACP. I told the clerk I don't want the ambi decocker, because you could order without it. He gives me a hard time by saying the ambi DC edition is the same price, why not get the ambi decocker. I said because I'm right-handed and see no need for it. He says when you sell the gun, you won't get as much for it, because the lefties won't want it. I said I don't plan on selling the gun, and 33 years later I still have it. I usually hang on to my guns.
I have rediscovered my love of a 1911, even tho mine is 10mm. I actually shoot it better ( more accurate ) than my glocks. Can't say why, but it just feels better in hand. An like I said before, I haven't had a 1911 in the stable for over 45 yrs, but I do now. Even tho its only 8 rds, I don't feel undergunned at all, more like more confident, but its a hunting gun or a SD gun if I need it to be. Very grateful for you taking the time to pop another vid out for us. Thx for the vid Antonius
Amazing video and finally someone made the point that needed to be made. I've been sick of these so called experts always putting for the money or at this procepoint at the end of their review on Turkish or lower costing wweapins.
I own both Tisas and Girsan 1911s and found them to be very well built. The Turks seem to be making first class forged frame and slide 1911s. I'm a southpaw, so ambi safeties are a must. I'm currently considering the acquisition of a B45 duty, so your video is very timely.
@@shootinitstraight4162 I'm looking at two Turkish imports, the Tisas 1911 Duty and GForce Arms 1911. There's only about $25 difference in price. Here's a breakdown of features. Tisas 1911 Duty pistol: hammer forged slide with front and rear slide serrations and flared and lowered ejection port hammer forged steel full-size frame hammer forged barrel grip safety bump skeletonized hammer skeletonized trigger ambidextrous extended safety 3-Dot Low-Profile Novak style Sights Black Cerakote finish Black Overmolded Grips Novak Style Cut and Series 70 Internals Includes two magazines undercut trigger guard GForce Arms Balistik Defense Adam 1911: forged receiver with front and rear slide serrations and flared and lowered ejection port forged frame hammer forged barrel ambidextrous thumb safety grip safety bump skeletonized hammer solid trigger adjustable elevation Novak rear sight black finish walnut grips
@@shootinitstraight4162Thanks for covering Tisas 1911's. I have a U.S. ARMY MODEL AND A SERVICE SPECIAL. Both are. 45acp as they are 1911's. I agree with you regarding "1911 Snobs". They are prissy little girls. I've been shooting 1911's for 45 years and think the Turk pistols are the cat's meow. Function,workmanship and price are great. If I should save some bucks,I would be tempted to buy a model with a few more bells and whistles .As for ambi controls,they are unnecessary since the left index finger can easily be used inplace of the right thumb. As I recall, Browning was a lefty.Looking forward to future videos.
@@shootinitstraight4162 Well after looking and looking on their website they just usual brag about forged barrels but if you scroll down the page they show a replacement barrel and if you click on the barrel and the click on additional information it says carbon steel finish in Chrome. chrome is fine with me. Just ordered their B9 carry and a Night Stalker 10mm from Buds. Great price on both!
Does anyone know how to determine the Manufacture Date for the Tisas 1911 B45 without contacting a Customer Service line and such? I’d like to know if my model is post October 2022 production Thanks y’all
@nrj_1957 Examine the serial # on the right side of the frame, just below the slide. Most will begin with T0620. The first two numbers after that indicate the year. For example, mine is T0620-23Z0___. So mine was manufactured in 2023, expressed on the frame here as 20-23.
I just caught up with this review and I'll start out by saying that it is a good video. While I agree that the TISAS is a good pistol and that you touch on its many features, I take exception to two points in the presentation. The first exception is stating that taking a shot, regrip, take a shot, regrip should never be done. There are instances where a regrip may be necessary, or even convenient during shooting. I cover this in my rant about one of my viewer's take on my shifting grip in my own review videos (Gun Grip Rant - An analytical and adult response to viewer criticism. - ruclips.net/video/s_ir1hAUpaQ/видео.html). 'Nuff said about that. The second exception is criticizing another's viewpoint or opinion about a firearm, for example, "the TISAS is a good (or excellent) pistol for the money paid (or for the price point)". Viewpoints and/or opinions are personal; they are an expression of a person's belief, whether they align with your belief(s) or not. In other words, respect other people's opinions for what they are, as much as you value your opinions or statements of fact regarding the firearm. Lastly, in the early days of training with the M1911, soldiers were taught to shoot with the middle finger and place the forefinger on the slide of the frame. This was back in the old "point shooting" days. What was found out is that the soldier would place to much tension on the frame, exactly where the take-down pin protrudes. This pressure would force the pin inward, thus forcing the take-down assembly outward. As the slide moved to the rear in recoil, the take-down slot in the slide would align with the take-down tab on the slide stop that, consequently, force the take-down assembly out of the frame slightly - slightly enough to lock the slide open. Training was changed to correct this from happening. The flush-fit take-down pin of the TISAS, coupled with the beveling is two-fold; it prevents the take-down pin from being pushed during normal operation, and makes it easy to press in when disassembling the pistol. The left side of the frame where the take-down pin is inserted is also beveled - to aid in guiding the pin into place during assembly. I also own the TISAS B45 Duty and have a B45 Carry on the way to evaluate. Thank you, sir and have a good day!😁
@RangeRoninChronicles Thank you sir for the input. Yes, I do recall now reading about the soldiers being taught to point shoot with an extended finger on the frame. I overlooked that on this video. The advice I gave regarding the "regrip" includes my comment to avoid that practice "if it's a good grip". If it's NOT a good grip, of course one should regrip. Insofar as expressing viewpoints or beliefs, I respect your beliefs and viewpoints here in your comment. However, to disagree with others, or to express my own viewpoints, is not necessarily disrespectful to anyone. At any rate, know that I do respect and welcome your opinions. Thank you so much for watching! 👍
@@shootinitstraight4162 Happy to have this conversation. The thing about the "frame finger" is a little known fact and easy to forget when we are doing reviews. It is usually not on the list of things when we put these reviews together. I agree with expressing viewpoints, it's just a matter of not offending others when we do so. As content creators, we are expected to be courteous in what we say. I have viewed, and no longer view, gun review channels that not only offend the viewer but are also offensive to the senses. When my son-in-law first started shooting, I was able to save his hand the first time he fired a 1911. He did a "thumb over" grip on the pistol. Luckily, I caught it and reminded him that the slide comes back forcefully and one's thumb should not be there when it does. Another time, the first time he picked up a revolver, he was using the forefinger of the support hand to hold the front of the trigger guard, because of his large hands. Fortunately, I was also there and explained the "flash gap" and why he should not place his finger on the front strap of the trigger guard. It was one of those, "if you weren't there, you would not appreciate it" moment. Keep up the good work!😁
Great video. Very informative. I just bought the very same gun.

That would make sense. I kinda wish they produce both a right hand version and a left hand version, and let the buyer choose...(?)
Not a southpaw but can operate a 1911A-1 fine with the left hand. Just use the index finger in place of the thumb and practice.
