New 1911

[Wannabewoodsman]

Since my bolt on my carcano is cracked, my girlfriend said she's okay with me getting a new gun.. I'm gonna try this 1911 import from Turkey. I wanted 7 round capacity but 8+1 is good too. Seems to be REALLY close mechanically to the original. Gonna tune it a bit I think and definitely gonna swap the hand grips.

If it’s a Tisas, there pretty good guns, my brother has the commander version

It is a tisas. Apparently it's been cerakoted too.

Must be a newer model, that’s pretty cool

If you want 7rd capacity, buy some 7rd gov’t model mags.

Problem solved.

I wasn't sure if they would fit or not to be honest.

Nice pick. Tisas have a stainless Commander that is on my “any time now” list.

Just be certain they’re for a full sized (Government Model) and they’ll work.

Simon, is it the Carry model ? I have it in .45…. (not sure if it’s offered in 9mm).
Excellent satin finish all over. I changed grips to slim VZs, and did my first new barrel install (put in an Ed Brown so-called drop in barrel).
Only issue - the ambi thumb safety is somewhat ‘mushy’ for lack of a better word. I’d like to replace with a single left side that clicks into place.
Also MSH seems to be made of plastic.
But it’s a good shooter - about on a level with RIA.

i have that very same 1911, and love it. i took out the 7 rd mag, and bought it 4 new Wilson Combat 8 rd mags.

very fine 1911, you will enjoy it.

TW, that is the one I’ve been looking at. I’ve already got a Kimber Pro Carry II, but I have a bit of the magpie in me and like shiny things! Thanks for the feedback on it. I figure for $500 and change it’s worth a try.

I got it! I like it better than my Glock or hellcat but I also haven't shot it. Mechanically it's a bit different but so familiar and intuitive at the same time.
I found the 1940 army manual as it pertains to the gun. Interesting read and better written than the modern TM/FMs.

I don’t think you’ll regret that one at all !!!
