Tisas M1911A1 GOVT .45 ACP, 5 in Government Model, Forged Steel, GI Pattern, Matte Gray, 7+1
This full-size Tisas M1911A1 GOVT is a forged-steel, GI-pattern .45 ACP built with the HBM (Hardened Before Machining) process and finished in matte gray. It features classic A1 details throughout, is slide-marked "M1911A1 GOVT.", and carries a TISAS KNOXVILLE, TN import mark. It comes with two 7-round magazines and both installed wood grips plus an extra set of brown plastic checkered panels.
Configured with a 5 in Government-length barrel and GI recoil system, this pistol retains period-correct elements including fixed GI sights, a short solid A1-style trigger with frame relief cuts, a spur hammer, and an arched, vertically serrated mainspring housing. Rear-only slide serrations and a GI-height ejection port with an A1-style rear scalloped relief cut round out the traditional build, with compatibility for standard single-stack 1911 magazines.

The forged steel frame and slide are produced using the HBM (Hardened Before Machining) process and finished in matte gray for a uniform, military-style appearance. The slide is marked "M1911A1 GOVT." and bears the TISAS KNOXVILLE, TN stamp.
It follows a GI-pattern configuration: a 5 in Government-length barrel, GI recoil system with bushing and plug, fixed GI sights (small blade front and small notch rear), and rear-only slide serrations with a GI-height ejection port featuring an A1-style rear scalloped relief cut.
Controls and ergonomics adhere to the A1 pattern, including a short, solid trigger with frame relief cuts, a spur hammer, an arched and vertically serrated mainspring housing, and standard single-action operation with both thumb safety and grip safety. The magazine release is the standard style.
