Have been for a while now. USMC version was first, Army is shipping now. Navy and AF later this fall.


The Army will be the only line item that will be production. The others are limited editions.

Oh, so there's no chance I get Cerakote if I order one now? In another thread I read that the sku stayed the same when the switch was made to park.

Thanks!

You should refurb one of those boats uxb was on when he got a lift from some guys who weren't really there to where he wasn't going from where he never was. - Kitties with Sigs

Thanks but I want to make sure that I do not get a cerakote finish. If the sku is the same then I'd wait a while to make sure they're gone from the distributors.

Might want to change your ad copy, if a tiny asterisk that doesn't refer to anything is supposed to alert customers that some of the pistols on that page are Parkerized.

@SDSImports

Might get with your distributors - even when the UPCs match your Parkerized guns, the ad copy @ the distributors still says Cerakote - so I'm sticking to RIAs & Charles Daly for now.  Let me know when you get this mess all straightened out.

Oh, I know.  But you could look up your Parkerized guns on their websites and ask em to fix those specific UPCs.  Up to you.

Heck, I'd just like to see a nitride or park'd slide, frame options with same finish or for alloy frames, type 3 black annodized as is without cerakote

The one you want that is parkerized is the ASF (Armed Services Family) model...

I’d like to see some factory DLC finished ones, even though I have my own sources to get them refinished.

Wow, this problem was questioned in 2023 and it’s still a cluster in 2025.

What Tisas 1911 is being manufactured and sold in 2025 that has the actual Manganese Phosphate finish…what is commonly called Parkerized. Is it Model Number…MFG part # 10100539?

To some of us Ceracote is too modern of a finish and too much like paint to be used on a reproduction WW11 gun, that was originally Parkerized! As the gun ages the finish will certainly differ more and more from a real  Parkerized finish.

PSA is presently selling a Tisas 1911 that according to all the info I can find, is probably NOT Parkerized…although there is enough conflicting info in the question and answers, to classify it as a joke.

The UPC is 723551444191. Yes, that is the mfg #.

In Tisas' defense, lots of vendors make mistakes with copy and paste descriptions. That's what makes online shopping a pain.

Thanks!
As of 2-6-2025 the Tisas 1911 Palmetto State Armory is selling “on sale” for $299.99 is the Ceracoate version…NOT the PARKERIZED version, despite all the erroneous info on their website.

The parkerized finish was worth a few more bucks to me too. Looks like the best deal now might be Battlehawk for $350. Add to cart for best price is $360, but you should see a spot to get $10 off for adding an email.

SMGA had them for $340, but they've been out of stock for a while.
