Here is an add for another base model 1911, for just under $300. I don't know anything about these, other than what is on the sheet.
Sub $300 1911...

I know what you mean there! I think I have four Tisas 1911's left, I had one engraved, and gave it to my son. Today, I went back to carrying my Stingray .45, it's been out of the rotation for awhile. Dam, I really like that pistol! Their low cost, military clone models are way under priced in my opinion.

My 1st 1911 was a Rock Island Armory GI model, the only 9mm 1911 they sold @ the time
Since it was a GI model, I ended up putting about what I paid for the pistol, back into modding it.
It's been perfectly reliable, but.
I found & Bought a S.A Loaded Target, in SS, which is what I wanted in the 1st place,.. but couldn't find. .

I'm on another gun forum where some reliability tests were done with this pistol.Here is an add for another base model 1911, for just under $300. I don't know anything about these, other than what is on the sheet.
The report was that the fit and finish was equal to some much more expensive 1911's, with a couple hundred rounds ran through without any sort of failure.
Sounds like a good buy.

I agree, if you need or want a GI 1911... too bad I have more than enough.
.I wanted to try a Tisas..but when you've got Colts, Springfields, Dan Wessons, etc.. why do I need a Tisas ?

PSA dropped the price on the RIA GI 45 to $279.00 for President's day sale..
I do like my Tisas' but I kinda see your point. Such a great price in the RIA it hard to resist. I think back in the late 90's we were selling those for I think $263.00? Been a while so can't recall exactly. We had no problem selling every one we got in, and as far as I know no one ever brought one back. If I wanted another new handgun I'd definitely look into one of those.

In case it's a carry gun, and you need to use it, if the cops keep it for a year or so, you're not out much $$

Tisas has all forged parts. Colts, SA have some MIM. Not sure about DW. Some say MIM is just as good as forged. I say, if you can get all forged (for less cost) then why not?

Does Kygunco sell pre owned gunsHere is an add for another base model 1911, for just under $300. I don't know anything about these, other than what is on the sheet.
Just got a brand new one like this for 279.99 from PSA last week. Looks beautiful. Very tight no play in slide at all no movement in bbl either from pushing on top thru ejection port or when pushing end of muzzle. As soon as I get time I'll try it out. Warming up a bit here this weekHere is an add for another base model 1911, for just under $300. I don't know anything about these, other than what is on the sheet.
