I’m gonna put pachmayr signature grips on mine. |

But .. heck, were you really going to keep those grips anyway? |

I couldn’t pass up that deal! I don’t see this particular model on Tisas’ website. Mine has a Commander style ring hammer, larger sights than the standard 1911A1’s and the ejection port is relieved. Mine came in a nice hard case with two 8 round mags (Not marked). The finish is kind of a grey/green. The trigger pull is 5.85 lbs and pretty crisp. I can’t wait to get it to the range! https://i.postimg.cc/3rf7GtZJ/Tisas-1911-2.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/FRhW1xLy/Tisas-1911-3.jpg Got me on this one. Just ordered. |

Attached File Duty .45 I picked up from my ffl this afternoon. I was expecting a cardboard box and 1 mag. Plastic box and a 2nd mag was a nice surprise. Feels like a real solid piece, especially for the price. Going to strip it down for a good cleaning and new grips tonight. |

Finally grabbed a pic of mine: Attached File |

Cleaned up and new grips. Attached File I have some Talon front strap tape coming sometime soon. |
|
Attached File Bought during the Classic sale in Dec. This is a ridiculously good gun for this price. Lots of "Ooo" and "Ahhh" at the LGS when I went in to pick it up, and disbelief when I mentioned the price. Interestingly, mine came in a cardboard box vice the plastic case shown above, but I could care less. That stuff usually ends up on a shelf somewhere, just taking up space. |

It almost sounds like you're expecting it to self destruct or something.

There's some beautiful work there. There's also some grip panels that are as costly as these Turk guns! LoL. |
Something clever belongs here.
