So this morning I went to gun store to actually buy ammo, when I walking pass the gun counter I always find myself looking at 1911s like always wishing I could bring myself to pay the 900+ price for one. Well today that changed when I saw one for $400 . The brand was SDS Imports ( Tisas ), a Turkish company. Well I bought it; my first 1911, took to the family's land out in the county and fired 100rds through it with no problems. Bring it home cleaned it so next time it will be as great.
Budget 1911 that actually works flawlessly right out the box

Yeah I know now, I was skeptical at first but I took a chance and that chance turned out nicely.

Nice looking 1911, keep us informed if you will.
I will, going to upgrade the sights, will be dropping it off Tuesday to a gun smith to get the slide parkerized.

Nice. I’ve heard some of the Turkish 1911’s are pretty decent for the money.
I’ve also had great experiences with RIA 1911’s.

Agree with the Rock Island Armory. Haven't heard many complaints and several coworkers use the RIA for their 1911
I've heard that RIA is really solid but the gun store didn't have any. It's cool though the Tisas was a good decision for me.

I'm really tempted to pick up one of the double stack RIAs.
I you have the money to purchase one then by all means go for it.

The money's not the problem, but availability sure is.

Oh definitely go for that one! I'm just going to customize my Tisas, already got a couple of 10 rd Wilson Combat mags on the way, just gotta get the slide parkerized and find a set of night sights.
I'm with you on that one.

My ffl has been raving about Tisas 1911’s for about a year now. He keeps mentioning that he has sold tons of them and has never heard of one going back for repair. I’ve been impressed with the Turkish stuff I’ve tried, especially the Canik products. I’m not a big 1911 guy, but I wouldn’t hesitate to buy a Tisas 1911 if I found the right deal.
I have a Canik TP9SF, haven't had an issue at all with it. Had it going on for like 2 years now. Purchased it from Kingsfirearmsonline.com for $280.

For $500 a Springfield Mil Spec Defender 1911 IMO will outshine any budget similar $ import 1911 hands down . My .02 cents
You're right, but it's difficult to find one, but hey maybe next time I go to the local gun store I'll see if they have one.
