The Tisas 1911 Duty delivers proven 1911 performance with modern enhancements at an accessible price point. This full-size 45 ACP pistol combines traditional reliability with contemporary features that address common shooter needs. Built on the time-tested 1911 platform, it offers ambidextrous controls and durable Cerakote finishes.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard 1911 models that favor right-handed shooters, this Duty variant includes ambidextrous thumb safeties for universal operation. The black Cerakote finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to traditional bluing, while the serrated slide top reduces glare. The beavertail grip safety extends higher than mil-spec designs, preventing hammer bite during rapid fire.

Field performance centers on the 45 ACP cartridge's proven stopping power and the 1911's crisp single-action trigger. The 5-inch barrel maximizes velocity and accuracy potential for both defensive applications and range training. Cerakote coating maintains appearance through extended use and various weather conditions. The ambidextrous safety system functions reliably under stress without compromising the classic 1911 manual of arms.
