He brings several years of experience developing the Tisas brand as well as two decades of industry knowledge to our team”.

Mulverhill added, “I thank Kaya and the Tisas Board for this opportunity. I have always enjoyed working with the Tisas team and look forward to working with Kaya to bring the full range of Tisas products to the United States and further develop the brand”.

Kaya concluded, “We are working around the clock to establish our customer-facing teams to support Tisas customers regardless from whom they purchased their firearm. We will continue to provide great products supported by great service and continue to stand by the Tisas lifetime warranty”.

Customers in need of warranty assistance or general product questions can contact Tisas Arms at [email protected] or reach out through the new website at www.tisasarmsusa.com.

Hopefully they bring back some of the models they cut, like the Aviator, and don't raise prices.  I screwed up not buying a DS Carry from, IIRC, Battlehawk, when they had them on sale before Christmas.

Good to hear.  Gave my late father a Tank Commander for his house gun, now I have it back.  

I sell a lot of the Tankers.  You need to bring in a .38 Super, deeply blued.  It would sell well.
I sell firearms produced by the finest child labor in the world, be it Filipino, Muslim, Mormon, Arizonan, or Texan.

A Colt and a Tisas.  I'm hard pressed to say which one I like better

Seems like is more they are changing from SDS being their importer to being their own importer.

Isn't Ingilis one of Tisas companies too? I still see their brand on the SDS site, although Tisas has been removed.  I hope this doesn't slow down the 2035, I was looking forward to that.
No more metaphors.

Inglis is made by a different manufacturer.

Tisas has their own Regent HP line. SDS imported it for a bit too, so curious as to why they switched in the long run. I’m guessing price since the Tisas/Regent HP’s were a bit more than their current offerings, but only SDS probably knows for sure.

No- the Inglis Hi Powers are made at a different Turkish factory.

Interesting that in SDS's website, under the MAC brand, the doublestack 1911s are still shown.  I wonder if that's an oversight, or if they have so much inventory they're leaving them up for now.

Glad I picked up my DS 9mm Tisas when it was cheap ($500 I think).

Tisas also makes a full rail version of the Night Stalker DS that SDS chose not to import. This got me curious so I checked Night Stalker DS pricing. It also saw the same $300 random price increase that the MAC did.

If they can get the NS DS with the full rail back to around $650 they’ll sell a ton of them. SDS is wild for thinking people would pay $900 for their half rail Night Stalker version and $1000 for the full rail MAC.

Good. Achmed is doing a pretty decent job and his prices are very reasonable.

Include a .40 SW barrel with the 10mm 1911s, I got a boatload of .40.  Better yet just make a .40 1911.

This guy has no fuxking clue about what all forged parts mean. Another brainwashed video without knowledge of facts.

Only 4 parts in 1911 are forged: slide, frame, slide stop, barrel. Let's talk about explicitly on those 4 parts only.

Colt has all 4 parts forged.
Springfield has 3 of 4 forged (slide, frame, barrel)
Tisas disclosed 3 (slide, frame. barrel) and they did said no MIM slide stop, but didn't say it's forged.

He can debate Tisas uses arguably better other small parts from machined barstock vs. Colt/Springfield use some MIM parts. But don't spread incorrect information about ALL forged parts fudd.

He got one fact wrong. Inglis brand never had any products made by Tisas Trabzon Silah Sanayi. Inglis HP products are made by Ozerbas Makina.
