WTB I Want A 1911

[Big Green]

I don’t own a 1911 but need one for the collection. I’m looking for a factory built PSA 1911. They have been out of stock for a while so perhaps someone has one they’re willing to sell.

Not to be a dick but do you have a price range in mind? Caliber? Finish? Or brand.

PSA ....= Rock Island Armory... = Armscor in Marikina, Philippines

Palmetto State Armory Unleashes the Admiral Line of 1911 Pistols - The Truth About Guns

I know what you're thinking. I wish there were more 1911 options to choose from. Well luckily for you if actually for you Palmetto State Armory just added a couple more. With the drop of their new Admiral line you can pick from a couple different models in 10mm or John Browning's fav, the .45...

Check out TISAS.
They have some models that are pretty nice.

 

[Ausländer]

Agree with Moonpie. Check out the Tisas line. I have Tisas Duty in .45 and consider it worth the price.

 

[Fishkiller]

At the price point the Tisas are OK. All steel made in Turkey

I grew-up on 1911’s.

All Colts, one Kimber.

Check out Taurus & Ruger.

Another vote for Tisas. 100%.

One time...I saw a guy throw one around in the gravel, then run over it with his car....

I'm very happy with this one:

That’s the newer stuff branded for them, they used to produce their own, that’s what I want.

PSA (Palmetto State Armory) just like I mentioned in original post.

This isn’t going to be something I shoot often or carry, just want one to say I have one. Since my uncle won’t give up my granddad’s, I figured I’d get one from one of the most pro 2A companies out there, Palmetto State Armory.

Remember when there was Colt or a USGI surplus 191?

'Sorry about your grandad's. My lovely mother pulled that crap on me and gave dad's away.

That’s fine and good luck.

But you did ask, dodn’t you ?

Look for one with non-cast internals. Forgings are always stronger.

A 1911 is like a vacuum cleaner, an assembly of parts, all of which are replaceable ./ upgradable !

My first Colt must have gone through 15 barrells.

One other small point; I find it easier to both conceal and shoot a full-size 1911 than a Commander or Officers’ model.

+1 on the Tisas. Also they are series 70 if that matters to you.

 

[zackmars]

Tisas is good on a budget, but may require work on the simple stuff, extractor and sear tension, weak springs, etc.


I hear you can beat them up pretty well too

Tisas or RIA. I’ve had both, and own several military issue and commercial Colts.

I shoot the Tisas and RIA versions and they run like a sewing machine.

I actually give the nod to the RIA - just feels better in the hand than the Tisas but the RIA did come with crappy grip panels - which I switched out.
