TISAS 1911s

[Trooper224]

I believe current production Tisas 1911s are equipped with a titanium firing pin. They do not have a firing pin safety.

As a new Stingray owner I can confirm this.

Tisas USA had some sort of higher end Stingray called the Bantam. It had some fairly tasteful slide lightening cuts and seemed to be a nicely assembled pistol. I don't see it listed on the Tisas website. Too bad it would probably be the variant I'd purchase if I wanted a bobtail Tisas as a general carrying around gun.

The Bantam was the first Tisas I handled. It seemed nicely made, with a great trigger. But, my initial reaction was, "$1200" for a turkish pistol? No way." I suspect that may have been a common reaction, hence the low sales. Now, after handling several Tisas, and actually shooting a couple, I think I my have erred in my judgement.

Yikes. I didn't know they were priced that high.

I've seen a few recently for 800-900. I think they stopped making that model. I like the sight choice on that model. I like ledged rears and fiber fronts.

This would seem to be a solid price then:

I keep getting tempted by the Stakeout model, essentially Tisas's take on Dan Wessons discontinued A2 model.
The only thing holding me back has been my confusion over what sights it comes with.
Reviews I've seen show 'improved A1' sights with a taller rear and dovetailed front with brass bead, but every website that carries them and SDS and Tisas's sites show it with basic low A1 sights with the staked front.
It's not a deal breaker either way, but it would be nice to know what I'm ordering.

Some info on the Raider. Maybe we've already seen this? It was news to me.

The website shows taller rear but I cannot tell if the front is a dovetailed, brass bead style.

This overview from guns.com shows the taller sights, but, their own website has 2 different listings(priced different too) one that shows what is in the video, another that shows the lower sights from the Tisas website.
The Tisas site mentions the taller sights, but doesn't show them.

Maybe buy a bare bones GI model and then have a beavertail fit and some Harrison retro sights added.
