Key Features

- Forged Carbon-Steel Frame & Slide – Why it matters: Forging gives you a stronger, longer-lasting pistol that can handle thousands of rounds of .45 ACP without loosening up.
- Colt 70 Series Internals – Why it matters: These proven parts mean smooth trigger pull, consistent lockup, and easy parts replacement if you ever need it.
- Two Magazines Included – Why it matters: You get a spare right out of the box, so you can load up for the range or keep one in the truck and one in the safe.
- A1-Style Sights – Why it matters: The low-profile, fixed sights give you a clean sight picture that matches the original service pistol profile, perfect for quick acquisition on steel targets or paper.

Pros & Cons
- Pros: Accurate barrel, forged steel frame, two mags, period-correct details, affordable price point for a quality 1911.

FAQ
Is this a true reproduction of the WWII 1911A1?
Yes, TISAS designed this to match the original US Army 1911A1 pistols from WWII, including the A1-style sights, grip safety, and overall profile. The forged carbon-steel frame and slide are period-correct, and the internal parts are based on the Colt 70 Series design.
What kind of magazines does it use?
It uses standard 1911-style .45 ACP magazines. The package includes two 7-round magazines with a blued finish that match the original look.
Will this pistol work with modern holsters?
Yes, it fits most full-size 1911 holsters designed for a 5-inch barrel and standard profile. Just make sure the holster is cut for a GI-style trigger guard and no rail.
Can I upgrade the sights or trigger later?
Absolutely. The slide is cut for standard 1911 dovetail sights, and the trigger uses common 1911 parts. Many shooters swap in a flat trigger or add night sights for low-light use.
What is the weight of this pistol?
Unloaded, it weighs 39 ounces per TISAS specs. Loaded with a full magazine, it’s around 45 ounces – solid but well-balanced for a steel-frame .45.
