Read the articles here: boomsticktactic...
*Springfield Operator 1911 Pistol:*
The Springfield Operator 1911 embodies the modern interpretation of the classic 1911 design. It's a premium choice for those who seek top-tier performance and are willing to invest a bit more. The stainless steel frame and slide construction lend it exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion, making it well-suited for long-term use.
The Springfield Operator also offers advanced features like night sights for low-light shooting conditions and optics compatibility, allowing shooters to customize their sight picture. However, this level of performance and customization comes at a higher price point, making it more suitable for those with a generous budget.
*Tisas Raider 1911 Pistol:*
The Tisas Raider 1911, on the other hand, provides a more budget-friendly entry into the world of 1911 pistols. It retains the classic 1911 design aesthetics, with a steel frame and slide construction.
The Tisas Raider still offers respectable accuracy and reliability. Its recoil management is reasonable, thanks to its weight and .45 ACP caliber. It's a dependable choice for those looking for a reliable firearm without breaking the bank.
However, for shooters on a budget or those who appreciate the classic 1911 feel, the Tisas Raider represents a solid option.
In conclusion, the choice between the Springfield Operator and the Tisas Raider boils down to your specific needs, preferences, and budget.
if you're looking for a budget-friendly 1911 pistol that retains the classic design and offers reliable performance, the Tisas Raider is a solid contender. Ultimately, both pistols honor the timeless legacy of the 1911 design, providing shooters with distinct options to suit their individual shooting requirements.

[@Gunpaw1958]

The Tisas is a surprisingly accurate pistol. I have been pleased with both my .45 and 9mm. Both were a little picky with some ammo at first but after a few hundred rounds they run anything I feed them. I don't have any experience with the Springfield but sounds like a good pistol. Thanks for doing the comparison for us.

[@BoomStickTactical]

Thanks for watching. Tisas makes some great 1911s. Springfield has several great ones also.

[@Daddy53751]

I’ve got a SA Custom I bought new in ‘97 that I’ve carried for many years, and the only issues I’ve I’ve ever had were magazines, (except kept snapping off the front sight, so after about 4, I had the front dovetailed) and that sexy old lady’s had thousands of rounds put through her. She’s been a tank!

[@ArmeroPR]

Those Tisas are making quite a good reputation. I bet they'll go up in price soon.

[@BoomStickTactical]

Some of them are going up already. They're making great 1911s.

[@jamesbinning2825]

I dont doubt they will start going up sometime in the near future, but I just ordered my Tisas B45R Duty from PSA for 370 bucks with free shipping. I was prepared to pay around 550 out the door for a B9R in a shop local to me, but the guy sold it before I got my money together

[@ms.annthrope415]

That's what I've heard from my buddies in the gun store.

[@derbydriver]

The Tisas Duty is more of a direct comparison with the Operator, it also has a skeletonized trigger and black cerakote finish. But, it’s basically the exact same gun as the Raider otherwise, so I guess it doesn’t really matter. Just wanted to point that out. One thing I don’t think gets mentioned enough is the tastefully subtle markings on the Tisas. They keep their etchings as minimal as possible. In fact, the only spot on the gun that says “Türkiye” is hidden on the bottom of the frame right in front of the trigger guard. I greatly appreciate the clean aesthetic rather than etching logos and billboards all across the slide.

[@BoomStickTactical]

Tisas is making some great 1911s.

[@ms.annthrope415]

I actually have a Springfield Armory Operator and recently purchased the TISAS Raider. Both feel solid. Both can mount a weapon light, both are Cerakoted. I had a gunsmith polish the trigger on the Operator to a 3.7 pound trigger. Yes, the Operator uses a tritium front sight. The Raider is white dots. The Springfield seems to be slightly tighter and smoother. But TISAS gives you a lot for the money. The safety on the Raider needed some elbow grease and replacement plunger spring and plunger end tubes and that fixed the loosy goosy feel. I bought the TISAS to be a truck, fishing, camping, hiking, and exploring spooky, scary places at night. For that, i think it will do just fine. My Operator is just a fine 1911, railed, and meant for serious business.

[@christophermead9800]

You can’t go wrong with either. I believe Springfield Armory 1911s are highly underrated. I would go as far as saying SA 1911s are better than Colts. But the Tisas had proven itself. Excellent as well. Thanks for the comparison! Off topic, but I am speaking for standard A1 models. I consider bull barrels and full length guide rods another animal. No love for either from me.

[@BoomStickTactical]

I'm glad to have both of these. They're a lot of fun to shoot.

[@TheRealZJE313]

What!!!!! Colts fell off back in the day with series 80 plastic parts and horrible quality control. Hell even the one the Marines used back around 2013 or 14 was JUNK frames cracking paint chipping and al kinda other problems.

[@TheRealZJE313]

SA 1911s are 100 times higher than junk colts. You didn't see where SA won the FBI contract back in the DA better known as the TRP we know today. It's a dam sham that a turkish-made 1911 is better then a junk colt hell even the Filipino made 1911s known as the American classic are 100 times better than a JUNK COLT

[@JorgeCruz-mi5gc]

I bought the Kimber mags for my Raider. But I wrote down about what you changed. I am looking to do some small modifications.

[@ms.annthrope415]

My Raider just didn't like Wilson 10 round mags. The first one always flipped nose up. All subsequent rounds woukd fire fine. Just the first one. It didn't mind the Wilson 8 rounders. But I just slapped Ed Brown 7 rounders into a Raider. I think the spring compression in the 10 rounders weren't tuned to match the release point by the feed lips. The Operator just ate everything, 8 rounders 10 rounders, everything.

[@sniperofbuffalo]

I have a Raider I'm waiting on in shipping. I like how Tisas doesn't have all the big branding and stamping like the Springfield does. Nothing I hate more than guns with giant billboards on them

[@danqodusk8140]

It should be stamped "Made in Turkey" to alert all potential buyers.

[@robinj.9329]

The "thing" about the 1911 pistol is; you either LOVE IT or HATE IT! The .45 ACP was the first pistol I was trained to use while I was still in my teens. I had both military and police instructors. And, so unlike folks today, no one made wimpy comments about: "Oh! It's so Damn HEAVY!" or "Oh! It kicks so much!" As a wise old Sargent used to tell us; "If you can't handle the recoil of a .45 automatic, YOU DON'T BELONG IN THE MILITARY!" And I'm still both amused and entertained by those millions of young men who constantly bitch and bellyach about how "hard to handle" the .45 is for them! Cheers!

[@BoomStickTactical]

The 1911 is a classic that is making a comeback in my opinion.

[@tracyfoster6403]

Being a government contractor I've used 1911 for 25 years , I've owned Wilson combat, Ed Brown Springfield armory Kimber and Tisas I currently carry a Tisas 45 duty with a rail and that gun is as reliable and shoots his well as my Kimber Springfield and has not had any hiccups I shoot Wilson combat and CMC magazines Mec-gar also runs well in both my teeth size I've not had any hiccups I shoot factory ammo and had no problems with reliability you cannot go wrong with a Tisas, well worth the money I prefer the tisas over Springfield, just my opinion, with both forge frame and slide 100% back tisas!!!

I have the tisas 1911 10mm and the tisas 1911CSS45R. My buddy is a springfield fan and he has shot both of mine and got pissed that they shoot comparable to his operator and I paid half. I changed the sights on the 1911CSS45R to wilson combat and my 10mm I added a magwell. Other than that, they are my carry weapons and I trust them to do what is needed. Good video

[@miketaylorID1]

WHen Colt released the civi version of the MARSOC 1911 - Being a sucker for the peanut butter I was all in - had to have one! until I heard the MSRP - then not too much after that the Corps decommissioned their issued pistols to the market and I was all in, until… Those are north of 10k if you can even find one. So imagine my delight when Tisas released their clone. and the fact that not only does it not suck, it’s actually a well constructed pistol - well that I could not pass up. it’s been great so far. and current market price puts it just a bit over 4 benjies is just ridiculous. will have to see how it holds up cheers

[@BoomStickTactical]

They're great 1911s.

[@01Sassoon]

The Springfield is Full of MIM parts, good quality MIM, but still MIM. The 2023/4 Raider has Zero mim parts, except for the recoil rod. I own both, the SA and the Tisas, and I feel that the Tisas has the edge on the Operator, but the Operator has a lot more rounds through it. The Tisas lacks a good plunger tube spring, and a correctly profiled .45 firing-pin stop. Those are pretty easy and cheap to replace. If Tisas offered a "Black" Raider, I'd definitely buy a second one.

[@BoomStickTactical]

Tisas is making some great 1911s these days. The best, especially in the price range.

[@jakesoros2376]

Tisas does offer a 'Black' Raider, the Duty B45 with a rail.

[@01Sassoon]

@@jakesoros2376 yup. I have that one too, but there are differences in the machining between the Duty and the Raider.

[@rwwolcott]

@@01Sassoon Can you tell me which you prefer and why?

[@timmoran6280]

Well. One other thing I have to give Tisas credit for is that any 1911 manufactured after november of 2022 no longer has any MIM or cast parts. As quoted in their FAQ "8. Does my Tisas Pistol contain any cast or MIM parts? Tisas does not use any cast metal parts on our firearms. The use of quality MIM parts on some models was used in prior generations of our 1911 products but in mid-2022 we began moving away from use of those parts. Tisas models produced after 11/1/2022 contain machined internal parts with the exception of the recoil spring plug which will continue to be a MIM part at a time to be determined." That and they are open about exactly which alloy steel they are using. 13. What steel alloy does Tisas use for their 1911 frames and slides? 42CrM04 Forged Carbon Steel or 420A Forged Stainless Steel. Many companies will tell you that its forged stainles or forged carbon steel. But not many issue statements on the actual alloy being used. The one thing I do wonder though is why since TISAS USA opened up as the exclusive importer of thes guns nothing on the guns indicate that they are manufactured and imported from turkey. Not that I care. But it is strange to see only the knoxville tennessee and U.S. marks on the frame with not importion information. Like you would see on a girsan. My first 1911 was a kimber raptor II. That gun costs $1000 more than what I just paid for a BNIB 2023 Raider in .45. And that kimber needed a LOT of work to get it to be reliable and function properly. And while accurate and bullet proof now internally with a trigger job lord John Moses Browning would nod his head to it took another $300 in parts and about 10 hours hand fitting and tuning the gun. I got the Tisas as my second 1911. Because the thing represents extreme value. And not because of compromising quality, materials or manufacturing techniques. I mean. I didnt get a cold hammer forged barrel on the kimber. And while springfield makes a decent gun just as kimber does they both occassionally push out a problem child. I dont think Tisas is beyond this by any means. But if the quality, materials and execution are all there why pay more? Just to say its american? Sig fans didnt drop the brand when they switched from german to almost US manufacturing exclusively. And Is a berretta stil a berretta if not produced in italy? In these days a good gun is a good gun. But it still puzzles me how Tisas is not required to put manufactured in turkey on the gun. Either way. Killer quality for a price that isnt too good to be true. If it was $250 Id be more skeptical. But Canik is a perfect example of a company that game out with a decent striker fired pistol that was accurate and reliable with a nice case and even a holster. And not look at them. They are making some of the well made guns available in that genre. Maybe not always the most comfortable. But usually the quality and manufacturing rivals domestic products if not exceeding them at the price point. If the design is over a hundred years old. I think its safe to say as long as its quality it can be made anywhere. Now I dont like Girsan as much as tisas. But Tisas really seems like they want to prove they have what it takes to be a contender regardless of how much it will hit you in the wallet. And i love guns that fit that niche because its a gun i can enjoy and not baby it because of its cost and wanting to keep it mint for as long as possible. These are guns for the average user with an average budget that wants something that punches way above its price point. And i think it succeeds. In fact I wasnt even going to buy another 1911 but it was too tempting seeing I dont see them often and it was over $120 off msrp. Where most USA guns sell at MSRP or even above if hard to find. IMHO Tisas for the win. Not that I wouldnt take a springfield if given to me. But I chose what I chose because of that value. Not where it was made.

[@BoomStickTactical]

They are really stepping up the 1911 game.

[@danqodusk8140]

Tisas doesn't want to make it obvious where the gun was made. It may deter people who buy only American made products!

For a 100$ more I would buy American made with a local customer service. Not to mention turkey openly supports hamas and is massing their navy to attack Isreal as we speak. So with every penny you spend on tisas is helping support the government helping aid terrorists and the destruction of Isreal. I would gladly pay triple the price than support a bunch of jihad terrorist antichrists.

Do the Tisas 1911s also have the Titanium firing pin and heavy firing pin spring? I know this is what makes the series 70 Springfield Armory 1911s a bit more drop safe in that the free floating firing pin is light weight with a heavy spring keeping it from going anywhere near that primer until the hammer forces it that way.

Went to qualify with it and there was a youngster right next to me that had just got a new Kimber that was roughly the same thing as my RIA.
