Built on the 1911 platform, the 1911A1 Service model follows the Government-length format with a 5-inch barrel, full-size slide, and 8+1 capacity. It features a steel frame and slide finished in black Cerakote, providing a clean, uniform appearance.
Controls and features are true to the A1 pattern: single-action-only operation, a short solid serrated trigger, spur hammer, single-sided thumb safety, and a grip safety. The slide has rear vertical serrations only, a non-lowered ejection port, and fixed GI-type sights with a small blade front and a small square-notch rear.
Frame details include A1-style relief cuts behind the trigger, an arched mainspring housing, and a smooth front strap. Full-checkered grip panels provide a secure feel. A standard 1911 barrel bushing system is retained, along with a standard magazine release.
Dimensions and markings are consistent with a service-pattern build: overall length is approximately 8.6 inches, weight is about 35.6 oz, and the pistol bears import and origin markings including "TISAS KNOXVILLE TN" and "ZIG M1911 TISAS Made in TURKEY." It ships with two 8-round steel magazines and the complete factory accessory set.
