Turkish M1911A1 Clone for FOUR BILLS.

Got an email from a buddy a few minutes ago:

I got this alert from Bud's earlier today. Turkish made 1911 for $399 cash. From the Bud's website:

Tisas 1911-A1 adds a stunning value to this famous reproduction 1911 classic pistol with such high quality materials, workmanship, fit and finish is just what you want. Made in Turkey by Tisas accordingly to international standards such as ISO 9001 and NATO AQAP, also tested in every stage of production for many challenging situations this gun may face. This is the reason Tisas products are very popular worldwide by delivering reliability.

By using cold hammer forged stainless steel barrel, Military Specification black finish (parkerized), with beautiful Turkish walnut grips, hard plastic case, this makes Tisas 1911 .45 ACP a stunning deal all around . America’s new 1911 is here ….

Comes with an 8 round magazine. Looks like a great deal.

Anonymous said...: OH MY!! It has a PISTOL GRIP so it must be one of those EVIL Assault Weapons. It MUST be BANNNED. However I am looking at a comparison of the TEN BIG "KILLERS" in the U.S. Compiled by the Centers for Disease Control & other Fed Gov sources that show Firearm Homicides are a Staggering 11,493 but nobody cares about the529,000 deaths from TOBACCO. Don't even think about mentioning the 195,000 dead from MEDICAL ERRORS. The Lowbrow thinkers (if you wanna call them thinkers) buy the BS line about firearms "hook line & sinker" while they smoke their cigs and sip (or chugalug) their booze (107,400 deaths from Alcohol Abuse). Motor Vehicle Accidents are 3 times that of firearm homecides (34,485) yet I haven't heard ONE PEEP about banning the JEEP or the HUMMER which came from the military vehicles design. Just my 2 cents worth. Steve; March 1, 2013 at 11:34 PM
Happy D said...: Every one of these that have crossed my bench are very high quality.
(I bought two as a basis for my own carry guns.)

However I recommend polishing the feed ramp and throat on these. I generally recommend this on most standard production guns.
However the majority of these that have come through the shop have been rough in these areas.; March 2, 2013 at 2:12 AM
Anonymous said...: Happy is right about quality. I have another model (dist by ATI) made by them and the mill work and metal is excellent with the exception of some cast areas in the upper mag throat. One problem is that I tried to contact Tisas by email several time to get backup springs and different grips and nothing. In the U.S. Tisas's stuff seems to come in and then disappear without parts being left behind. So, your option may boil down to buying a donor from the auction houses like GB.; March 2, 2013 at 6:00 AM
Scott J said...: Anon at 4:00 AM:
Why would you need to go back to Tisas for springs and parts?

If they're in spec then any of the host of 1911 vendor parts out there ought to fit.; March 2, 2013 at 4:43 PM
Anonymous said...: One very important item you might consider "SUFFICIENT" quanities of ammo....8 rounds from a M1911-A1 can kill 8 bad guys. No shootin' through them, leaving wounds but no life threats.....that's why Browning created the M1911A1 .45 auto pistol.
Boys in the Phillippines would suck up some s*** and a .38 would not stop them..but the good ol' M1911-A1 danged shore did. What would be your desire for amount of ammo? 1000 rounds? 500 rounds? Get what you can, but be aware when the SHTF that ol' .45 will save your a$$...

Is there a company that is importing these .45s? You know the dogeater killed a Korean return of M1 Garands, M1 Carbines and .45 auto pistols thanks to hillary....ain't she the best..spit!; March 2, 2013 at 8:11 PM
Happy D said...: They take every standard 1911 part I have ordered from Brownells with little or no fitting.
I recommend the 8 round Wilson Combat or Chip McCormick mags. One more dose of anti stupid medicine before mag change.
They cost more but I have never had a hiccup with them.; March 8, 2013 at 1:38 PM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

-- Mike Vanderboegh, The Lessons of Mumbai:Death Cults, the "Socialism of Imbeciles" and Refusing to Submit, 1 December 2008

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
