I got my 1911 A1 Army (the latest incarnation of this gun, just hit the market) on the last Black Friday for only $300, took it to a range and put 28 FMJs through it and 20 Federal HST hollow points through it without a flaw. Granted, not much ammo yet, but I had put a red dot on my EDC and had to use the time to dial it in and make sure it held the adjustment. The Tisas is more accurate than I am, and just impressed the heck out of me. A guy on KZitem tried to have a conversation with me to tell me how bad the guns are. Yeah....versus the numerous positive demonstrations of the gun here on KZitem. Then when I took mine to the range it performed as expected, flawless. Can't wait to take it to the club and shoot half a day with it and see what happens. I know a lot of fun will be happening though. These are well made guns. I don't know about how they were years ago, but they are right on now.

@@n721sw - I chose the Federal HST for the gel performance, but also because the point has a slight radius on it before the edge of the hole, which I expect to help with feeding. Some hollow points come up and look like a volcano crater, and I expect those can give 1911s, which were originally designed to fire only FMJs, a problem.

Bought one of these since I never had a 1911. Sometimes buying a cheap version of something can put you off from progressing because they're not really good but I was very surprised at how well they're made and how well they work. I would definitely recommend one of these as a lower cost way to learn to shoot a 1911. Even got a holster and use it for concealed carry on occasion. During the break in period I had the same issue with hollow points but I think it's just the nature of their design. After 500 rounds it will feed everything and no issues. Even went through a couple boxes of the aluminum Blazer rounds without choking on them.

Great review man! I bought this model in 2023 and I love it. It's accurate and 100% reliable with ball. I didn't know what I was doing when I bought it (my first 1911) so I tried to run JHPs on my second range trip. It didn't like 185gr Golden Sabers (4 FTF in 100 rds) and REALLY didn't like the S&B XRG Defense (8 FTF in 50 rds). I been shooting only ball since because my budget lol. Might try some HST and golden saber again now that it's broken in. Also I appreciate the message at the end. I almost lost my dad to depression in 2019 but luckily with help he came out the other side. That shit is no joke

Sometimes extra money just doesn't equate to extra gun. Around 2008 I was sponsored by a friend to attend a 4-day defensive handgun course at Frontsight in NV. I bought a Para-Ordnance, my first 1911 and put a few hundred rounds through it to take with me. It preformed perfectly and accurately and earned me distinguished graduate status. Over 4 days, I saw at least two guys having issues with their 1911s, one a Colt and the other a Springfield. My buddy took his $1200, (in 2008) Kimber and it did good for him.

Right on, Tisas makes some good 1911's. When it comes to hollowpoints I have found that bullets that are less cone shaped and more round tend to feed better in mine. Norma makes a decent hollow point that tends to run in my guns. They still seem prone to bullet setback though.
