The Tisas 1911 Duty delivers full-size performance with modern enhancements that address common 1911 limitations. This 45 ACP pistol combines traditional reliability with contemporary features like ambidextrous controls and durable Cerakote finish. Built on proven specifications, it provides shooters with enhanced grip options and corrosion resistance.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard 1911 models, this Duty variant features ambidextrous safety controls that accommodate both right and left-handed shooters without modification. The Flat Dark Earth Cerakote finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to traditional bluing, rated for 2,400+ hours of salt spray testing. The beavertail grip safety and serrated slide offer improved control and faster sight acquisition than basic configurations.
