I don't know much about Tisas however from what I have read they look to be a fine example of the Colt 1911.
To me the classic look of the 1911 is the draw. I like the look & feel of JMBs 1911 the way it is.

I lik the M1 & the M14 just the way they are 2.

I agree Mike. For the most part my guns stay as close to stock as possible. Small changes to fit me better, and as I get older optics on the AR's. My M1A looks for the world as much like a M14 as possible. My 1911's all have a short trigger and an arched m/s housing. Have a Blessed New Year and please stay safe everyone

My first 3 1911s are, 1 1917 & 2 1918s. The same configuration as the Colt 1911 match pistol all with Flat MSH & long trigger.
They fit my hand better that the A1 does & so all my 1911s have the Flat MSH, long trigger + wide spur hammer all 9, even the 2011.

I grew up around there too. Sure has changed in 72 years, and not for the better either!

They are on sale again at PSA, but I'll tell you what: I can't recommend anyone buy a 1911 without a beaver tail grip safety. Tisas has one on sale for only 450.
Can't have just one 1911 anyway.

Think I might have mentioned this few months back PSA had a 1911 for 279 bucks, I think it was by Gforve, Turkish outfit that makes cheap shotguns, this 1911 had the beaver tail, skeletonized hammer and trigger, fiber optic front sight, should have bought one, but I did buy somewhat of a holy grail(for me)1911, Kimber Warrior 2, I'm a happy camper right now

That looks nice! Give us a range report!

I looked at the PSA site for one of those 1911's, I think most of the ones I liked were sold out. But ordered some knives and sharpeners that were on sale to give as gifts. The box arrived and it was poorly packed with 2 of the items plastic blister packs completely destroyed and the items loose in the box. Luckily no damage to the items. Guess I'll just keep those. LOL. Anyway, good luck with the Kimber!

Sometimes packages get beat up for sure, frustrating! PSA does some crazy daily deals, few days ago had a beretta 1301 at least 300 bucks cheaper than I've ever seen one but these days at 70 young, I run away from 12 gauges instead of to them! But thx, am looking forward to a few rounds through the Warrior!
