I have a Tisas US Army 45 that I love, but I can't finish a shooting session without bleeding.

What would be the easiest way to alleviate that?

Could I drop in a bobbed hammer or something?

Thanks

A Commander style hammer will probably elliminate the bite.  You will have to contour the grip safety tang to clear the hammer so it will cock.  Easier, would be removing some material from the bck of the stock hammer.  Does not take much.

You could also drop a Wilson Beavertail and hammer in it. Not tough to do

fit an Ed Brown beavertail grip safety and commander style hammer to it

this makes the 1911 handle 1000 times better

Purchase a gun with more modern features designed to allveiate those short comings of the early 1911 design is my first suggestion. However many aftermarket parts can be retrofitted by capable hands such as a ring type or commander hammer or new grip safety.

Wilson drop in hammer and beavertail.  It won’t fit perfectly to the radius, but it will fit and work.  I’ve been shooting government model 1911s for 40 years and have  a permanent scar in the web of my hand from the experience.   It’s easier to just have a drop in to put in.  You’ll get good enough at it that you can do it as part of the cleaning process essentially

I have never been able to shoot a standard 1911 without hammer bite.  Same goes for BROWNING High Power.

Beaver tails have fixed it completely for me.  YMMV.
