Nestor Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 This is the steel WWI/WWII legend made in Turkey by Tisas for less than the law enforcement agency can bulk purchase the injection-molded Glock pistol at aggressively discounted price. It's not exactly a GI set-up, but pretty damn close. Series 70. All parts except for the grips screws and grip bushings are interchangeable with Colt. Cast frame, extruded steel slide and cold hammer forged barrel. MIM parts of course. Can be found for under $350. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWARREN123 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 GI style sights are just way too small for me but I do like 1911's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueiron Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 (edited) Extruded slide? Cast frame? $400? No thanks. I want a firearm that will last and not peen itself apart. I doubt that it will stay within specifications after several thousand rounds. Law enforcement use? It isn't going to happen in the US. Why? No manufacturer armorer/maintenance course; one off grip screws and screw bushings; no manufacturer affiliated representative or facility in the US; and lack of a proven track record by the manufacturer and their iteration of the M1911A1. As a weapon of war, the M1911A1 was fine. As a modern law enforcement weapon, it isn't acceptable in GI form.

Many of them are being used for years and years now with thousands of rounds fired. In fact, lately, Armscor signed a small contract with the Armed Forces of the Philippines for 3,000 Armscor TAC Ultra 1911 pistols. Cheers.
