drcarr Report post Posted November 17, 2021 I won my choice of either a "Rock Island Arms" 1911 .45acp or a "Tisas" 1911 .45acp...the "RIA" is made in the Philippines and the "Tisas" is made in Turkey ...both guns are reportedly in new, unfired condition and each is the lowest, entry level model that the manufacturer makes ...Understandably, neither gun would be my 1st choice for EDC...however for a $40 investment I'm doing pretty good...thanks for your assistance.......

zackcarp Report post Posted November 17, 2021 I own the Tisas and did quite well with it in 1911 competitions in Texas. I did have an extractor malfunction mid comp and had to reshape it a bit. But I've never held the RIA. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zackcarp Report post Posted November 17, 2021 Now that I think about it, I did have to polish the ramp pretty well to get hollow points to run reliably. But if I had the choice I'd say RIA. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drcarr Report post Posted November 18, 2021 Thanks for the replies...I settled on the Rock Island Arms...The fit and finish of my gun isn't bad... We'll see how it shoots soon enough....... Don 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
