The Tisas 1911 A1 Service delivers authentic military-spec performance with modern manufacturing precision. This full-size 45 ACP pistol combines traditional 1911 reliability with enhanced durability through advanced Cerakote finishing and ambidextrous controls.
What Makes This Different
Built to original GI specifications with contemporary improvements, this pistol features a fully ambidextrous safety system that accommodates both right and left-handed shooters. The black Cerakote finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard bluing, extending service life in harsh conditions. The serrated slide top reduces glare while providing positive grip traction during manipulation.
