Recall Notice: Do Not Attempt To Load Or Fire

I have thoroughly enjoyed my Tisas 1911s, but it seems as though there is a recall.

Have to say, good on them for being proactive and not waiting to see if someone actually gets hurt (and then placing all blame on the user).

Excellent informative video thank you for spreading the word. Tisas so far (in my experience) has been an excellent company and I have tons of respect for the way they are handling this situation. I bought one of their 1911's and couldn't be happier even to the point of giving them higher praise than many other 1911's that are of a higher price range.

[@albertsnow8835]

Every 1911 made during WW1 and WW2 had this possible defect. The Army had a procedure to use in loading the pistol on the firing line. A few even went full auto on the firing line at pistol matches! Ruger 22 pistols were used for annual qualifications in my infantry company!

Thanks Pat. I got a tank commander based your review and I really like it.

[@PatRMG]

Great to hear!

[@davidjakiela9553]

Something to consider when carrying a pistol for protection. If you use your weapon in self-defense the police are going to take it at least for a while. It's probably not going to look the same when you get it back, if you get it back. Why carry a $1500.00 pistol when a $ 400 pistol will do. If you don't get it back you're not out a whole lot.

[@Elimn8r64]

I have a Night stalker and this is exactly what happened to me, firing a round unexpectedly. I will definitely be contacting them. I had no idea how it happened. Finger was definitely NOT on the trigger.

[@Subgunman]

Probably a mismatch between the sear angles and hammer. I built a 1911 on a para P14 frame, had the same issue with the sear on my build. Ordered a new sear from Brownells and it cured the issue. Always test with a dummy round. I bored out a solid copper projectile and seat this with a primer. This will tell you is there is an issue with the disconnect or or geometry of the sear and associated parts. BTW, that hole should be at least 1/8 inch in diameter to allow the primer gasses to pass without creating a squib round.

[@johndoe7270]

@@Subgunman Neat idea. Couldn't you use a blank too?

[@Subgunman]

@@johndoe7270 possible however one needs to chamber the round from the magazine while holding down the trigger (pointed in a safe direction) to see if the round will discharge. We know that releasing the trigger should leave the firearm ready to fire when the trigger is released. One needs to try firing the blank while not depressing the grip safety as well. It should not fire. Same should be done with the safety lever engaged, it should not fire. When you release the safety and grip the pistol properly ( depressing the grip safety as well) the hammer should fall striking the primer at this point only. At this point it would be wise to have a second blank round in the mag and quickly rack the slide while all along holding the trigger down, it should not fire and should not fire when you release the trigger to reset the firing cycle.

[@mikemelina7395]

@@Subgunman I believe an improperly adjusted leaf spring can also cause the same problem. I believe it may even be a more common cause of this malfunction.

[@The1Marine1]

Hammer followed the slide forward and fired a round.. This is the problem of certain range of serial numbers that are not functioning correctly.

[@dmcd7333]

Now IF SIG could be like Tisas and make their customers aware that there may be a problem instead of denying one exists. Tisas cares about their customers and SIG could learn from this and stop using customers as beta testers. Hats off to the video and getting the word out!

[@PatRMG]

Thanks a bunch and thanks for watching!

[@kevinallies1014]

Hammer follow is definitive and repeatable if you have ever had it. Sig magic shoot by itself isn’t. “My unholstered gun went off in my purse” isn’t exactly a repeatable malfunction.

[@CallsignWulf]

@@kevinallies1014 Sig Cross rifle. Big issues with that. Sig denied issues while publicly recalling all of them. Just Sig things. And the original 320's had issues with drops, the fixed models are fine though. Even the OG military ones had that issue fixed while the civ ones were left alone. Sig doesn't like the people.

[@JohnAvillaHerpetocultural]

@@kevinallies1014it isn’t just upholstered guns in purses, they have gone off fully holstered on military and police as well as civilians. If it was just incompetence other companies would be included. Only Sig has this problem.

[@jorgesolis9468]

​@@JohnAvillaHerpetoculturalther companies also have heavier triggers or trigger safeties also like fn, smith, or glock

[@updem]

My first pistol was a tisas 1911 A1 GI model. I put a few wilson combat parts in to it and a set of cherry wood grips and not only is it nice looking, it runs flawless. Genuinely a pleasure to shoot. Tisas knows how to make good firearms.

[@richardwilliams9815]

Toss a wilson combat or atlas sear spring in call it a day. The center spring on the sear spring controls the trigger tension going forward. Hammer fallow is from that. Bend it forward slightly if you experience Hammer follow. I have all 3 of the recall guns. None have original sear springs.

[@kevinallies1014]

You have to have correct tuning between the Sear leg and the Disconnector leg of the sear spring. If they are misaligned with too much pressure on the Sear leg and/or not enough pressure on the Disconnector leg you will get hammer follow. It usually loses half cock before it actually hammer follows.

[@mfddb3084]

A few months ago I bought a rock island armory double stack tactical 10mm 1911. I absolutely love it but.... The factory grips were broken out of the box and rock island did send me a broken new pair. They shipped them in an envelope. No packing. I might add that the grips are extremely thin because the grip is so fat due to it being double stacked. After receiving the broken new grips I emailed them and told them the grips were damaged due to piss pore packing and I never heard from them again. GOOD customer service and warranty work is hard to come by these days. Other than that I absolutely love the 10mm 1911. The tolerances are super tight and it runs smooth as butter!!!! And it's a tac driver!!! It's big and heavy but I carry it everyday!!!

[@nickjohnson8780]

i recommend getting hogue grips for the 1911 para ordinance. i have the same gun you do, and while my grips were fine, the upgrade after some trimming to make it fit makes a huge difference and well worth it

[@mfddb3084]

@@nickjohnson8780 I ordered a beautiful pair of grips from Browne works. And they were a absolutely perfect fit and they look great on the gun. I got the red heart wood. Couldn't be happier!!! I would check them out they have a lot of options for the rock island armory ultra tac 10 mm. They even have REAL rattle snake skin grips. They are pricey about 160 ish if I remember correctly. I am absolutely ordering a pair when I have the extra cash.

Nope. Maybe because Sig actually tests their stuff and didn't believe individual results contrary to their testing results? Don't hate on manufacturers just because they don't sell you $300 pistols.

Pretty good thing,bringing this to people attention. Tisas is being cool about it too. I don’t have a 1911 yet. I wanted to get as close to a WW II GI type for my first. Was looking at a Garrison & a Tisas .both are pretty good looking guns. Was Leaning toward the Garrison trying to figure out the difference in 70 & 80 series 1911s and doing some homework in general …About the time I thought I had it figured out,the Garrison model id been looking at got pulled. Something about they figured they were selling it for to good of a value ,it disappeared for a while and then they marked it way up. Wish I had a model number to give you. It was very close in markings to the ones American Soldiers had in the war if im remembering correctly. Saw one locally but didn’t hold it.
