Picked up my new pistol today.
Got the call from the lgs/pawn shop today. The background check had went through, and to come pick up my Tisas 1911 9mm Stingray.
There wasn't any Tisas pistols in the area, and some of the owners and counter people in the stores had never heard of Tisas. I've read a lot of reviews and watched a lot of videos on the Tisas, and decided to order one. I have some expierience with the Turkish pistols from Sarsilmaz, and they are nice pistols in there own right, but the Tisas is definately a step up in quality. Tisas firearms are also manufactured in Turkey. I like the 1911 platform, and wanted a lighter model than my two other 1911's. The Stingray has an alloy (aka aluminum) frame, with a steel slide. Weight is 30 ounces, with a 4.25" barrel. Got it home, and immediately field stripped the pistol, and "Oh My". What a work of art. The outside is very, very nice, but also, the inside is just as nice. The only machine marks that I noticed were on either the side of the barrel lug. The pistol has a very nice Cerakote finish.The clearance between the frame rails and slide are very minimal. Trigger pull is light, with just a slight amount of take up. Looking forward to getting to the range, and getting on with the break in. So far, I am very pleased with my purchase.
