Tisas | SDS Imports Bantam Carry 45 1911 review

[@DaFroBroforeal]

Nice overview, but really appreciated touching on “knowing when” to shoot. You can put a price on gear, but proper mindset and a virtuous heart are invaluable. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheGunfighter45acp]

Nice! Another ambi right outta the box and a series 70, too? Tisas is really killin' it these days. What a great value for we consumers! 👍👍

[@BERETTA9mmUSA]

I like my Tisas SS45 for $500 much more, this fancy one comes in at $1,000 for a Commander which puts it into Lightly used Colt, Dan Wesson, Springfield, and Kimber prices. Something my Subscribers should consider at 1,000 Bones. 😎🤠👍👨🏻‍🚀🎥👽🥃. B9USA Sr. Take Care.

[@ProjectSerpo90]

@@BERETTA9mmUSAthats the only reason i passed on this. I figured for $100 more i could get the Kimber i wanted and i am extremely happy with my Aegis Elite Pro. But theres no denying this gun is gorgeous especially the cuts on the chamber and slide. If this came in about $200 less i would have purchased it for sure.

[@bigsimms75]

Sometimes you just can't help letting an F Bomb drop over new pistol excitement. Great as always sir!

[@BERETTA9mmUSA]

God did I do that??? I really try to keep things PG or PG13. Thanks for a Great comment as always. Respectfully, Beretta Sr. 👨🏻‍🚀👍🇺🇸😎🎥👽

[@tigerman3]

Thanks for reviewing this one. Nice to see that Tisas isn't just putting out entry-level GI 1911's. I'll have to check this one out in a shop (if I can find one!)...

[@salvadorreyes5322]

Thank you both so much for doing this… I love the high end guns you all review but this is more in my price range lol. Keep up the good work been watching for years and will continue to do so

[@lens7859]

Due to the economy in Turkey, we are benefiting with those prices. If they were made in the USA they would be close to double in price. They are quality handguns.

[@BERETTA9mmUSA]

My Favorite is: The Government Size SS45R for $500 is my #1 Tisas 1911. We have a Video Up on it if Interested. This one is $1,000 and that is almost Used Dan Wesson Commander Prices. & I Love My Dan Wesson Commander 1911’s. Just to be 100% Honest. Beretta9MMUSA SR.

[@justinkeckhaver8199]

For the money, these things slay. I bought their full size "service" model last December, and aside from having to tweak the extractor to solve some occasional feeding issues (no big deal), it's been a beast. I'm at 3000ish rounds through it, and I'm totally happy with it.

[@BERETTA9mmUSA]

Right On Sir!! Thank-you! Beretta9MMUSA Sr. 👨🏻‍🚀👍🇺🇸

[@jakewerth9614]

I have the Tisas stingray 45 and I am blown away with the quality. It just needed a small tune

[@nickknox.]

Good lookin for sure 👏

[@markhankins3023]

The ‘hero bystander’ stopped Indiana mall mass shooter from quite the distance, but agree with your advice.

[@andrewsteele7663]

Thanks, that is a really well presented handgun.

[@BERETTA9mmUSA]

After thinking about this Tisas for $1,000 I think The Government Size SS45R for $500 is my #1 Tisas 1911. We have a Video Up on it if Interested. Beretta9MMUSA SR.

Big thumbs up for a 1911 video!

[@BERETTA9mmUSA]

A Few more coming in 2023. We are running out of 1911 Pistols to review as we pass 100 total 1911 Video Reviews. 😎🤠👍👨🏻‍🚀🥃🎥👽👊

[@ron02simpson]

I own this gun in 9mm and it is without a doubt my favorite, and I own many of the household names (Glock, Beretta, Walther, Sig, etc.) in pistols. I don't understand why they stopped making it.

[@mengdynasty6034]

I like my bantam but had to upgrade some parts. Safety plunger spring to make it more tight, barrel bushing and guide rod. A threaded barrel upgrade is next. Mine seemed a little picky on ammo too. The trigger and reset is ok. Overall a decent gun, accuracy is ok. Glad I got mine for $600! Might have someone go over it. Thanks for the great review!

[@BERETTA9mmUSA]

Copy that Sir! Thank-you! 😎🤠👍🥃👊. B9USA Sr.

[@stevelewis1721]

I've carried a 1911 in .45 ACP for nearly 40 years. I'm very particular about the weapon. This one seems to check all the boxes except for the slide safety. I'll add it to my potential next purchase list and give that slide safety a close feel. Thanks.

[@BERETTA9mmUSA]

Hi Steve. It’s about the same price as a lightly used Colt or Dan Wesson, sooo that’s my concern. The Tisas that are $400 to $500 represent a much better value. Best, B9USA Sr. 😎🤠👍🥃

[@stevelewis1721]

@@BERETTA9mmUSA Well there you go, so many variables, although up to a point; price doesn't matter too, too much to me - I hear divorce is not that bad. Just kidding. I might just go for the color case hardened Standard Manufacturing you reviewed. After many views, I finally became one of your subs. I appreciate the style and no nonsense reporting provided along with the appreciation you and your son (I think?) have for my beloved 1911. Thanks very much.

[@frankbutta9344]

Very Nice! I’ve been looking at a Tisas Stingray for the past couple of days. 👍👍👍

[@BERETTA9mmUSA]

Good choice! This one seems like $1,000 is a bit much compared to The Government SS45R for $500. That is my #1 Tisas 1911 so far. We have a Video Up on it if Interested. Beretta9MMUSA SR.

[@frankbutta9344]

@@BERETTA9mmUSA I saw that video, but may have forgotten to comment. 🤷🏼

I like this. Hopefully this turns out to be well designed

[@markramos6998]

Nice!

[@lens7859]

Wait , what, $1000 ? My Tisas went for $400, they must be catching on

[@Algemene]

Question, what changed your opinion on Tisas 1911s from a year ago? I recall you saying on a RELOADED365 video that Tisas 1911s were a "NO GO". Being the fact that this is the 2nd Tisas 1911 review, I'm just curious to know what changed your mind about them?

[@BERETTA9mmUSA]

Our viewers continued to ask us to review them. So we decided to give them a try. I just bought another Tisas/SDS 1911 to review and compare to my Springfield Mil Spec.

[@Algemene]

​@BERETTA9mmUSA Hopefully you can get the Stingray Carry and review that one. Just recieved mines last week, also bought a Bantam barrel from the Tisas website to give the Stingray a different look when it comes in.

[@jayreal407]

I wanna check out there stingray, I heard good things about it, not gonna lie that bantem looks good, I need a commander size 1911, I’m too in love with the government size. So I’ll go 9mm aluminum for my commander in a 1911

[@BERETTA9mmUSA]

Overall and it is a Government Size, but The SS45R for $500 is my #1 Tisas 1911. We have a Video Up on it if Interested. Beretta9MMUSA SR.

Awesome & Thanks Sir :)

You too, my friend. God Bless You & Your Family. B9USA Sr. 😎🤠👍🥃

[@poppinc8145]

I honestly believes SDS and Tisas should have created a separate brand name (marquee) for the Bantam 45 since it's 2x to 3x as pricey as their regular offerings. Think of it like what Lexus is to Toyota or Acura is to Honda. Just create a premium line with its own reputation instead of using the same budget pistol Tisas branding. SDS announced at SHOT Show 2023 that they were bringing in Tisas 1911s with slide cuts and calling it "Night Stalker" which is weird because I thought the PX-9 polymer pistol with slide-cuts was the PX-9 Night Stalker (inspired by Canik putting out the SFX Rival). They could have created a separate brand to rival Staccato but more affordable. It could have composed of double-stack, slide-cut and premium 1911s. SDS and EAA both have weak promotion as well, and Tisas and Girsan need to find a more effective partner like what Canik has with Century Arms. Whereas Century/Canik goes HAM with promoting their new models and give out review samples, the other two do very little of that and some models get no promotion at all. They don't even send out press releases. Even fans of the brand can't keep up with what's coming or already out. Meanwhile, fans know every Canik release months to years in advance.

[@BERETTA9mmUSA]

Some very good points Sir. Thank-you! B9USA Sr. 😎🤠👍🥃👨🏻‍🚀🎥👽

[@KeanonGilliamSlang369]

Nice review. Interesting slide cuts on the slide.

[@BERETTA9mmUSA]

Thanks for watching my friend! I like the $580 Tisas SS45 Government Size that we tested like 6 or 8 weeks ago much more. See, I am always honest even on a T&E Gun…. But you already knew I would be 100% Honest. 😂😎 Respectfully, B9USA Sr.

[@bkcatalog]

Great video! Thoughts on one of these at 699?

[@BERETTA9mmUSA]

For that amount of money…. You are looking at this, the Springfield Armory MilSpec, or a couple of the lower cost Kimber 1911 pistols. I own all 3 and they are pretty good and worth your consideration. Respectfully, B9USA Sr.

[@bkcatalog]

@@BERETTA9mmUSA thank you for the reply. I have it locally available for that price and I handled it today. Very nice, but not sure if it's what I want for my first 1911. May go with a more traditional format.

[@larryvelasquez662]

Love mine but has problems feeding hollow points.

[@unitedwestanddividedwefall3521]

This the same as the stingray? Just in 45?

[@LUIZS87]

Can you get a rail mount attached to this?

[@JesseGacria357]

Hey Beretta Sr. What’s your thoughts on (Dead On Tools) Milled Framing Hammer?

[@BERETTA9mmUSA]

It’s supposed to be really good, but I have no hands on experience. Best, Beretta Sr.

[@KatoCoyoteCombatWorkshop]

It seems that the price is achieved with all of the additional machining. A cool looking gun, but for this to go for 1k puts it close in price with Springfield and Sig Sauer 1911s. I don't know, I have a hard time believing in tisas when they can sell a 1911 for under 400.

[@BERETTA9mmUSA]

I would give the 🥷🏼 Warriors what? Sig & Springfield if at all possible for my Subscribers to to be 100% Honest. For the folks that can only go $450 then I love that SS45 from Tisas or a mil Spec Springfield armory 1911 if you can find it for that price, new or lightly used. 👨🏻‍🚀👍🇺🇸🥷🏼. Beretta Sr.

[@robertjean6280]

Put a much better fitting trigger in it and that may be a good choice, I do think it has the looks but I’d loose my mind with that sloppy trigger.

[@BERETTA9mmUSA]

Get the SS45 Tisas Stainless Government for $500 that I already reviewed. You can find that video about 6 months ago. It represents a better plain Jane Stainless 1911 for $500 less then this fancy commander. I like it better. You can get that Great running 1911 & go on vacation with your very important Girl!!

Dude, if you’ve got your thumb riding the safety, what happens when the slide cycles? No thank you.

Absolutely nothing. Thats how i shoot a 1911, thumbs forward and riding the safety.
