Anyone has a Tisas? They're Turkish and cheap. I have a thing for military 1911's. I can't justify the price of a shooter grade ex-military gun so I'm considering one of these. What says you guys?

Cheap!Rkguns(rural king) has the tisas on sale for $339.99.
You sold a arsenal refinished Remington Rand?!? I can understand not wanting to shoot it as I have a 1918 produced 1911 that's number's matching. Not gorgeous but an awesome piece of history. I don't shoot her.
That's awesome you ended up with Gramps slab side! Good luck finding one to carry, that's pretty much exactly what I'm looking for. At current market prices the CMP's are a good deal. Just hope I get selected.I did. It was a beautiful service grade. I have always wanted a beater 1911A1 to put WWII style "sweetheart grips" on use as a carry gun when I head out into the back country. My gramp brought back his Ithaca 1911A1 from WWII and passed it on to me just before he died. I've been a WWII buff since I was a kid....there are surely better back country carry guns, but I've just got a thing for a 1911. The RR was just too nice. It was better off in the hands of a collector who'd appreciate it's mint condition than me who just wanted to put sweetheart grips on the thing and shoot it until it smoked! LOL.
But man, even mismatched, beater rack grades with replacement barrels on GB are north of $1500.
Well hello drycreek! I've heard and read nothing but great things about the Tisas 1911's. The 1911A1 US Army is the one I'm considering. The local shop has several of them and they feel good in hand. The owner is ex military and retired LEO, he doesn't like junk and is selective in what he sales. You should probably get one before they become known and the price goes up. They're way better than wheel guns anyway! :)Good morning Cat, as you can see I made it over here from the other forum.
After seeing someone mention the Tisas 1911s I looked them up. I think it was you that almost cost me $500. I’m not a 1911 guy, but it was hard to resist one in 10mm ! If I weren’t in the thinning mode I would have tried to find one.
C’mon now, you know John Wayne used both, but used the six shooter more than the other.Well hello drycreek! I've heard and read nothing but great things about the Tisas 1911's.

Ya, I don't sell guns anymore. Regret is a harsh mistress!I've been following the lottery on the CMP Forum since the lottery started a few years ago and basically at this point everybody who wanted one has gotten one. It's just a waiting game. Send in your paperwork and you'll get the call from CMP eventually. And if you don't like it when you get it sell it to me!
Good luck if you go for it. Definitely the best deal for USGI 1911's.
