Tisas 1911 A1 U.S. Army Issued Series .45 ACP, 5-inch Government Model, Grey Cerakote, Full-Size
This Tisas 1911 A1 U.S. Army Issued Series is a full-size, Government-pattern .45 ACP built with forged carbon-steel slide and frame and finished in Grey Cerakote.

The Issued Series configuration centers on GI-correct features. It uses a Government-length 5-inch forged/machined barrel, a full-size forged carbon-steel frame and slide, and fixed GI/A1 sights for a traditional service-style sight picture. The Grey Cerakote finish covers the slide and frame for a uniform, modern protective coating over the classic build.
Controls mirror the A1 layout: a short trigger with A1 relief cuts, grip safety, and a single-side thumb safety. The hammer is the spurred pattern, and the magazine release is the standard configuration. Internally, it employs Series 70-type parts without a firing-pin safety, preserving a traditional single-action, short-recoil operating system.
Exterior details include vertical rear slide serrations and checkered brown plastic A1-style grip panels. The arched mainspring housing retains the lanyard loop, and the slide is marked "MODEL 1911A1 U.S. ARMY" for the period-correct aesthetic.
Chambered in .45 ACP, this full-size 1911 has a 7+1 capacity and comes with one 7-round steel magazine marked '45 ACP'. It bears the SDS Knoxville, TN import mark and was manufactured in Turkey, imported by SDS Imports.
