If I could find a R1 for $400! SOLD

I might save up another $150 for the T-Sauce Stainless, ambi, flare loser eject, extra mag, novak sights, rail, 4.5” model

I believe it was $500 with a $100 rebate, but the rebate showed up promptly after I sent the paper work in. Great handgun.

[ontarget]

is that still going on?

My guess is probably not.

 

[PCFlorida]

My guess is probably not.

No that was before the bankruptcy.

I went for the 9mm. It’s a gem in my opinion.

9mm 1911 JMB is rolling in his gravel…

jk. I have a 2011 9mm and it’s the best. Low recoil, great trigger, perfect grip angle

 

[PCFlorida]

Very nice, I have a 10mm Rock Island that is also very nice and was very affordable

did you get the double stack? that think looks sweet

 

[PCFlorida]

No, single stack, I think it holds 10 10mm rounds in a mag? Just guessing as it is in the other room right now. Great shooting gun.

the Black T-Sauce came in today! $350 out the door with tax. If it runs good it make a great beater gun! Was tight, good safety click. just have to wait a few days for my extra extra extra background check

 

[Mark_Mark]

I might Stamp Colt 45 on it

 

[nofendertom]

Try one and let us know how it shoots and runs. I have Colts and Kimbers a few years back you could get them for $650 to $1000 depending on the make or model. Both are well made and durable with real good resale value.

My 2001 Kimber Classic Custom Target was bought new for $700, and has over 40,000 rounds (mostly 200 lswc and bullseye) with just spring replacement.

Your choices don't have to be limited to a $350 pistol or a $4000 pistol.

If you shoot often you will spend many times the price of a $1000 gun on ammo or reloading supplies.

I have one Colt Defender .45 and two Sti .40 & 9mm.

So to compare so far. We have a small waiting period, but slide and frame fit was very good. Slide was smooth. Trigger was slightly heavy but crisp, maybe 4.5-5#. Light creep but good wall break. Mags dropped free. Safety was very positive and good click with no sponge after disengagement.

Next… Range test and accuracy!

I just heard alot of good stuff of this $350 1911! if it runs! heck yeah, even better. I could use it as a training tool for 1911 noobs and not worry about scratching the frame and such!

But it it does Run… I’m getting another with the beavertail and ambi

If the local gunstore had Tisas 1911's in stock, for $350, I would have purchased one. I have handled a couple out at the range, the early one was as tight as a series 70 or 80 Colt and went bang each and every time.The owner had paid something under $300 for it. Another pistol I handled was tighter, the owner was happy.

The Turks have been making firearms at a time when the First People's in the America's were running around in animal skins and hunting with atlatl's. Many very well made firearms selling in the US are made in Turkey.

One does not have to spend thousands for a straightforward and reliable 1911. I recently purchased this at a local gun store





Two years ago this pistol was selling in the lower $300's, but due to "Putin Inflation", it was the cheapest in the shop at $425. The pistol is tight, good trigger pull, large sights, and at the range, it shoots to point of aim and went bang each and every time. The slide is milled 4140, the frame from cast 4140. Those are better materials than any US Military 1911 up to WW2.



I don't know what Colt used afterwards, but I do have a couple of series 70 Colts, and had issues with both.

When this finally happened, I removed all the series 80 parts from the Colt



I do have a Les Baer Wadcutter, an amazingly tight, accurate, and properly built pistol for Bullseye Pistol Competition. It shoots great and is right in all the little details, but there are very few people shooting groups at 50 yards, and 50 yards is a very long way for combat pistol shooting.



Heck, the high capacity crowd I see at the range is rapid firing at things seven to 10 yards. And at those distances, these lesser priced 1911's will give the customer value.
