I hate you guys. I was successfully resisting another .45 ACP.

Then, "9mm 1911s are fun" they said...

My 9mm showed up today. Came with 2 Mec-Gar mags. Can definitely tell there is a finish difference, but I'm good with it.

Now they are marked Tisas Tennessee. I'm guessing Tisas opened up shop here.

Got them today and test fired both. Shoot great and look really good. Just a slightly darker lower receiver than the slide. Accurate and good triggers.

Very happy with a surprise opportunity like this in the midst chaos.

.45 on the left and 9mm on the right. Two mags with each pistol. 9mm are Mecgars.
45 are GI Checkmate.

Nice!

Personally, I think these Tisas are underpriced and underrated, but that is my opinion.

Anyone fired their 9mm version for accuracy yet? If so, how did they do?

Mine was shooting decent groups just a little to the left and a little high. Good enough for what it is for sure.

Looks like the deal is over. No more in stock that I can find. I was thinking about ANOTHER 45.

Welp, they canceled my order for no apparent reason, no explanation or anything.

I had my order in a while ago too, a few people I told after I placed mine had theirs ship, then I get that today.

Waiting to hear what the hell happened.

ETA: Well apparently they have a 25 year standing policy of not shipping to Kane County IL, despite having zero restrictions here, and the lady acknowledging that there are no restrictions in Kane. "Company Policy".

Welp, fuck them, never ordering from them again.

If I had to guess they probably got sued by the county much like ADCO is having to deal with right now. Not sure how the laws are in IL but can you just ship to an FFL in a different county?

Definitely didn't happen in Kane County.

Very pro gun here, not an issue.

They even acknowledged that there were no restrictions here when I spoke to them, but hey, company policy is company policy.

Who needs politicians to restrict the second amendment when trash companies will do it voluntarily?

I was gonna order these , but then they will NOT ship it to Florida, MIAMI..... !!!! Even though there is no ban of any type. Spoke to the Lady on the phone and she said it's that way and there nothing she could do.

(Before any one asked, I live part time in FL and have FL ID/ CWL there as well).

Find an FFL outside of where they won't ship too? Like 20 mins down the road in another town or county?

They base it on where you reside.

Absolutely terrible policy, and I’ll never spend a dime with them again.

Posted: 7/27/2022 9:15:25 AM EDT

Picked mine up yesterday…like others said, it’s the color variation between the slide and frame that made the pistol blems.

Now to find some ammo.

Posted: 7/27/2022 10:24:12 AM EDT

[#26]

Now I am curious as to what the cause of the slide/frame color difference is.

Probably something as simple as a normal manufacturing variation in the OEM paint Lot#'s of whatever they are/were using to finish the pistols two major components. From what I've seen in the photo's posted here, its a very slight difference in shade between the frame and slide.

You have to give SDS Imports/TISAS credit for even caring enough to mention it, let alone dropping their price on the wholesale/distributor side of the equation.

Posted: 7/27/2022 12:27:16 PM EDT

Parts were ran through the finishing process in stages and one lot just didn't quite match up to the other.....BOOM, savings.

Make more mistakes….even at $400.00, these 1911’s are spot on, I was issued a few in the early 80’s.

Picked up my two 9s (top and center) to go with my 1968 38 super ... Fired 100 rounds thru the top 9 , a few hiccups on the first two mags and then it was GTG .

I snagged a Service model for $300 to tinker with and work on over time. My observations from a sample of one.

Thumb safety has a bit of over travel on safety off. The detent automatically returns it however to where it should sit. It however, will need to be likely replaced because the hook engagement of the sear and hammer is moving ever so slightly when doing the thumb safety test, will have to confirm when I open it up and visually take a look.

Trigger fitment is plenty good. The trigger pull is just fine to me and the reset is very nice.

Pleasantly surprised to see the ejector is pinned, however the ejector itself is not flush with the frame and is sticking up proud on the side towards the hammer. Does not impede function of the slide, etc. but it definitely needs rework/replacment.

The black Cerakote finish is well done throughout.

Barrel/bushing fitment is plenty good.

Grip safety fitment to frame is plenty good.

Overall for $300 its about what I expect, perhaps a bit better than expetcted. That said, it is in no condition to be carried IMO, but should be fun to work on to get it there. I plan to use Harrison Design and Nighthawk components. I can see the appeal to make these into project pieces.

For those interested in the SERVICE model I contacted Tisas and they informed me that the Service model uses the standard 16 LB recoil spring and 23 LB hammer spring and the only MIM parts are the slide stop, grip safety, and thumb safety. Though my hammer definitely looks MIM to me so take that with a grain of salt.

Posted: 8/4/2022 1:18:35 PM EDT

[#43]

Finally picked mine up after being delayed on the nics check. I tried to get a picture that would show the difference in color between the frame and the slide.

It’s very difficult to take out and put in the magazine and of course the grips had to go.
Now which ones ??
Grips that cost 3X the gun or the DW magwells ?
