I don’t know how they make and sell them for 300 but I’m glad they do. I’m sure I’ll buy a couple of more A1 models.
It really is a good shooter though sights suck
I think the Raider was 629 and had a couple of minute cosmetic issues, for me anyway.
Just received the Match recently and it’s going back on a RMA due to a couple of ill fitting parts. Cost around 640
@Jammo yeah i m glad i grabbed one too now! I’m used to the GI sights as its all i shot for the longest time when i first got into guns. i’ve found a glow in the dark paint pen helps with the sights to make it a bit easier to line them up, and it helps at night too
I think i wanna get the one that looks like the colt desert warrior style next, but there are a few that ive seen that have my attention that i’d not mind picking up that i saw at my local shop.
the one i ordered from psa was supposed to be the black one, however when i received the gun, it was the parkerized one, which to me is not that big of a deal, either way, but maybe next time if i want another GI i’ll buy the Black one again and definately send it back if i dont get that one the next time just for varietys sake.
I am impressed with their fit and finish, and the quality of the case that it came in.
I somehow ended up with five of these…
The RIA rock standard is best IMO in 9mm flavor. I have 2 of those and a tac ultra DS also but the rock standard is a tank, fit and finish is great. Eats anything and more accurate than I am. It can punch out the “x” at 10 yds
I bought both the Ruger SR1911 and Tisas GI both in 45 auto. The tisas is by far fitted better, very tight very clean. The Ruger is good but not as tight. Both fire AAC rounds no probs, both are accurate as the 9mm. I have fired the SA emmisarry and the kimber LW, it was comparable enough that to me personally it didn’t justify the price difference.
So the Raider, i looked at PSA its out of stock, and i looked at Shooters choice and it again is out of stock… so i made the mistake of looking on Buds… Buds not only had it, but alos have it in 9mm as well as .45acp. I wanted the .45 of course… so lets just say Lay A Way has another object that i’m now paying for. lol. Yeah i coulda bought it outright, or put it on a card, but something about me doing layaway makes it feel more honest to me that i’m saving money up and paying for it that way so that the wife wont get mad or whatever other reason makes sense in my head at the time… so as of today, I have one on lay a way. When i get this one in, will decide how and if i decide to buy any more Tisas… as yes, there is one more that i have my eye on that they produce., and its not another raider either… so time will tell.
I do so love the way the raider looks. i dont think i’ll be disappointed.
Any of you Tisas guys have experience with this one or even know where to find it? This is pretty much exactly what I want, a 9mm 1911 at a reasonable price with a high polish finish.
That’s my favorite design from Tisas, but I’ve never seen one “in the wild” to get a feel for build quality. 1911’s IME are probably the most finicky weapon still being produced in large numbers. Well built ones are fantastic, not so well built ones are just massive headaches.
I appreciate the Ed Brown bobtail cut, not everyone likes it.
yeah prices fluctuate, anddependsd where and who is selling what… but i have been very happy with the prices i’ve found so far. .i mean i still cant get over the 299 for the GI version 1911… and 499 for the night stalker was just amazing.
