Tisas 1911 Republic of Texas 45 review...BBQ gun on the cheap

I wanted a "cheap" bling BBQ engraved 1911 for less than $3000. I wanted modern sights with brass dot, front strap checkering, no front serrations, and stainless. This can be had for $750-900.
From Tisas:
The "Republic of Texas" 1911 from Tisas USA, celebrates the heritage and legacy of the Lone Star State with this fine pistol. Built using stainless-steel parts that are fitted and hand engraved for a refined pistol that shoots as good as it looks. These individually numbered guns, limited to 1836 to be produced, are a must own for anyone that calls Texas home.

I think the Republic of Texas banner looks absolutely fine, I would be proud to show that off.

[@HomesteadReliance]

it is growing on me and I actually like it now.

[@jmcrae825]

These pistols are not cheap. They’re affordable due to the current exchange rate with Turkey. These are quality guns at a hell of a price. I’m thrilled with mine. Grab while you can.

[@HomesteadReliance]

So true!

[@Oooooherecomestherooster]

Just bought the same exact one but my mag goes in nice and smooth! Badass 1911

[@HomesteadReliance]

I did change the spring on mine and it's good to go.

[@mp40jager]

I have two. magazine catch spring, cut a coil off, it will be fine.

[@HomesteadReliance]

Thanks for the tip!

[@franciscochavez3970]

Real nice pistol, I would love to have that here in California but unfortunately tisas is not on our stupid roaster. I'm stock with my rock islands, but I told you what they do eat anything I feed them, and by that I meant they do swallow hollow points. Nice video by the way 👍🏻

[@HomesteadReliance]

Thanks

[@harryrivas6153]

I just picked mine up today was so happy when i seen the 1 of 1836 on mine lol then i watched your video dammit but its still cool

[@HomesteadReliance]

Yea but nobody else has to know! It’s such a great pistol though!

[@trenacook7694]

Shes a beauty.

[@HomesteadReliance]

Thanks

My EDC is the RIA TAC Ultra 5" HC 16rd 10mm with Full Rail and Dust Cover and Threaded Barrel for Only $799.00, These "Low End" 1911's are getting Better and Better! @Homestead Reliance

[@HomesteadReliance]

Yea I’m loving these “low end” 1911’s more and more!

[@tonymickens8803]

Yep, Especially since Most of their factories are here in the UUS now, since then the "Fit & Finish on Tisas and RIA are GREAT! @@HomesteadReliance

[@josesalazar4267]

Great looking pistol friend is accurate is it tight or loose? I’m interested in picking up one at the gun shop near my house any info would be greatly appreciated

[@HomesteadReliance]

it's tight but not too tight (didn't jam and don't really think it needs a break in like my dan Wessons did) and accurate! For the price you can't go wrong. I have Dan Wessons and colt 1911's and this is just as nice build quality. I did have to change the magazine catch spring as it was too strong.

[@mp40jager]

$649 at PSA

[@HomesteadReliance]

That’s a good price!

[@Radvous]

Nice review though!

[@HomesteadReliance]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Radvous]

Could always buff out an idiot scratch on a stainless 1911, stainless steel is good for that.

[@HomesteadReliance]

that is true!

[@aceprophecy7692]

Republic of Texas has a lot of meaning I just seen one prices for 989 I was gonna buy it the fact that it’s that low in price just dis interest me

[@HomesteadReliance]

don't let the low price discourage you from getting a great gun!

[@dennisblake7683]

Tisas, pronunciation (Te-sash) according to their reps.

[@HomesteadReliance]

Thanks!

[@josesalazar4267]

My friend does your pistol shoot hollow points? Mine does not only fmj I have the same model republic of texas

[@HomesteadReliance]

I will have to try. Funny you mention that as my dan Wessons always had problems with hollow points and my cheaper 1911's do not. I'll have to try soon
