TISAS 1911s

[Tokarev]

Just picked this up from my pusher. It reminds me so much of a 1980s American Handgunner cover I couldn’t pass it up. I’m hoping to do very little to it - different grips, springs if needed - and then beat it like a rented mule. I always wanted a buried Bomar on the 1911 I built back then, this made more sense.

These really seem to be a "no brainer" in the custom 1911 market. Please let us know how it works once you have a chance to put some rounds through it.

Will do! Other than the non derp grip panels, I think initially I may only put in better plunger guts to make the safety a little more tactile - it’s pretty light right now. I’m not seeing anything else that needs immediate addressing.

You could probably have one cut?

I used to lust after a Dave Berryhill MEUSOC with a clarks grip safety, and the handmade rearsight. He made several variations, and the pre springfeuld slides with pachmeyers were a pure workgun aesthetic. But Dave passed away in 2015, and the clark grip safety is discontinued. I wound up with a Dan Wesson Valor instead. Probably more practical.

Later, I wanted a decommissioned/surplus/USGI M45A1. But I couldn't afford the prices at the time. Wound up with a USGI M17 instead. I've never shot it, and I'm not a Sig fan.

The CMP 1911s seemed grossly overpriced, and likely not something I could truly enjoy as a shooter. Then they were delayed for years.

Basically I've been interested in service 1911s for some time. Maybe a Tisas "Raider" clone would scratch the itch. The MEUSOC clones aren't really "cloney" enough for my tastes. Where the M45A1 were really just COS colt railguns anyway.

Fuck. I need another gun wantsy like a hole in the head.

Def could

Def could

But compared to an off the shelf solution, soon enough it's just work, work, work, all the time.... I get it.
