are tisas 45's any good?

[deerslayer777]

tisas are turkish guns but r they as good as remingtons and other name brand guns?

From everything I've read, yes. But beware of the grip safety. Mil-Spec 1911s will sooner or later bite you. My SA did and it soon became dad's gun. Turkish guns seem to be coming through with good quality.

I've been shooting M1911s since '79 and it's never happened to me.

Never heard of that either. I'd much rather have a Mil-Spec that I can work on and get parts and accessories for rather than something proprietary like the Remington R1.

You just put a jinks on yourself like I did. It is not if, it is when it will happen. I grip high and I have a large amount of flesh between the thumb and trigger finger. Rapid fire and sooner or later the hammer will get it between it and the top of the mil-spec grip safety. That is why beavertail grip safeties were made. It is just like Garand thumb, sooner or later it happens.

And I won't argue on what jcreek said about proprietory, I like them where you can change parts as needed without a lot of hassle.
