Don't buy tisas!!!

[Koda]

I don't believe the Tisas even enters the same zip code of the mind of people considering a Wilson.

They do if you want to own more than one 1911 for the same money.

Nobody wants that.

I promise you, I'd rather have one Springfield TRP than three Tisas anythings. I can imagine if someone is looking to spend Wilson money on one gun, they don't want ten mediocre guns instead

Who says Tisas are mediocre?

I saw a Tisa 1911A1 at a gun show not too long ago...
It looked for all the world like a Reminton Rand 1911A1 , even down to the greenish tint of the parkerization finish.
And yes it rattled...just like the Remington Rand I was issued.
If I was looking for a GI type 1911A1....and didn't want to pay for an actual issued one...I'd get a Tisa.

Something to consider here...and I do understand that the Wilson comments are mostly in jest...
Is don't compare or expect Wilson or the like , quality with a Tisa.
They don't compare....take each gun for its own sake and merits.

Bingo!

They very well may be decent guns, but there's no way in hell anyone will ever confuse them for even a semi-custom 1911.

No, probably not. People looking for something that expensive are not usually drawn to the lower end of the price spectrum.
But even then a Wilson may be the practical choice instead of a Cabot.

Im just rolling with it all in jest but not certain where the Wilson comparison ever fit into the conversation in the first place... . The prices dont compare, all Im sayng is Tisas' has some really nice quality guns with all the same modern features of any mfg. All the complaints in this discussion have been debunked.

That makes the Alchemy Custom Weaponry gun I'm on the list for look downright frugal!

Oh get the Alchemy, that guy is making some beautiful crafted 1911s these days. IIRC he partners with Cabot (but cant confirm).

I agree with your text, but that's an ugly 1911!
Of course Beauty is in the eye of the beerholder.

Granted, I picked the most expensive one I found quickly on their site, but I think that's one sweet pistol.
If I had that money to spend, I'd have them lose that rail.

I like a more traditional look too, but they have more options than most from GI issue all the way up to the tacticool doublestacks. I personally think the OPs Yukon 10mm is nice looking pistol.

Duneblaster, Terdog and myself, apparently

 

[Nosferatu]

Does Springfield Armory still make the Mil-Spec line? I had one of those a couple decades ago and it was an awesome shooter, while being one of the least expensive 1911s around. The Tisas seems like a step below that.

How much more expensive are Wilsons than a Tisas?

You know what they say if you have to ask the price

I'm just glad that my dealer doesn't have an alchemy in stock right now.

You're a 1911 addict...


...not that there's anything wrong with that...

8 pages of discussion thats literally debunked every single claim Tisas are bad in a thread titled "Dont buy tisas"

Not all... They're not as good as my Wilson.

I was debunking your claim.
