Deacon KC Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 CMP announced today it is joining with Tisas [yeah, they are a Turkish company] to produce WW2 spec 1911A1s. They will even have a CMP logo on them. Dates, prices and logo location have not been released yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Joe Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 (edited) Reports on Tisas are pretty good, usually. I'd rather see them try to get Colt back on track making them, though, rather then sending 3/4 of the price back to Turkeye folks. Overseas production does not help America. We need to be able to make arms in the US.

Jack Spade Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 One of my shooting buddies shoots a Tisas and has had good luck with it. I polished stuff up for him and changed out some springs so it worked better for the wild bunch game and he has been pretty happy with it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taterhead Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 I bought a Tisas government model for $350 after reading all the good reviews. So far I've been really pleased with it. Accuracy has been on par with the Remington Rand I foolishly let get away from me. Fit and finish inside and out are really good. Reliability has been great with all reloads with my cast bullets. It even cycles my 200 grain Lyman semi wad cutters if they are seated a thumb nails width higher the the cartridge case. The pistol looks good too! It has a gray green tint that looks like it's been parkerized but I understand it's been crecoated. Worth taking a look at. Your mileage may very. Tater PS I still favor my Series 70! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blastin Brad Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 I used a Tisas for years. Had to replace the inside parts cause my gunsmith could not polish the parts, the metal just flaked off. I hear the new ones don't have this problem with the metal. It performed very well and it is my backup now - treated myself to a Colt a few years ago. The Tisas is a strong performer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Joe Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 (edited) 13 hours ago, Blastin Brad said: , the metal just flaked off. I hear the new ones don't have this problem with the metal. Those would be MIM metal parts. Sintered metal powder. If sintering (heating to almost the melting point) is not done well, the metal does not consolidate into a solid part, but retains porosity and weakness. I only use bar-stock milled fire control parts in any 1911, to avoid such occurrences. Wilson and many other of the good 1911 parts houses carry such parts. I've never had any of those fail, especially the Wilson "bulletproof" parts. A few bar stock extractors have lost their spring tension, however, but that is kind of common with 50,000 rounds through a gun. And I too strongly favor a real Series 70 Colt. good luck, GJ Edited September 18 by Garrison Joe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
