Platform and build quality

The TISAS A1 1911 DESPERADO blends Tank Commander features into a polished, chrome-coated 1911 frame and slide. The pistol sports a 4.25″ hard chromium coated barrel and a high polished chromium coated serrated steel slide and frame with beavertail. You’ll find a hammer forged frame, slide serrations for positive manipulation, round hammer, flat mainspring house and checkered wood grips that balance function and presentation.

Sights, trigger, and internals

Controls are familiar to 1911 shooters but refined: a CR coated GI-style trigger, new-design front sight paired with a solid rear sight, and a titanium firing pin for durability. Those choices prioritize consistent break and long-term service life for a defensive platform.

Caliber flexibility and practical advantages

What sets the Desperado apart is true caliber versatility. Interchangeable barrels and magazines allow fast conversion between 9mm and .38 Super. 9mm Luger offers affordable, widely available ammunition and manageable recoil for follow-up shots. .38 Super delivers higher velocity and flat-shooting performance for shooters who want extra stopping power or competitive edge. The package includes one 9mm mag and one .38 Super mag, making the swap ready out of the case.

What’s included and value

The Desperado ships with a gun case, cleaning kit, bushing wrench and trigger lock — everything needed to maintain, secure and run the pistol from day one. At $929.99, this model positions itself as a premium, feature-rich 1911 with practical caliber options and a striking hard-chrome aesthetic.
