The 1911 platform remains a benchmark for service-grade pistols because of its ergonomics, controllability, and simple mechanical layout. For professionals and trained owners who value a tested design with a serviceable price point, a used but well-maintained 1911-style pistol can be an excellent defensive option.

Shop this product to view the listing and confirm specific details before purchase. This example from Tisas is listed in the Semi Auto category and is attractively priced at $429.99.

Design and build quality

The pistol is a clearly 1911-derived service pistol produced by Tisas, with Model listed as Various. The product description notes it has some cosmetic wear due to use—common on traded pistols and often limited to finish loss, light marks, or holster rub. That wear does not necessarily affect function, but buyers should verify bore condition and timing during inspection.

Controls and compatibility

Because this is a classic frame-and-slide design, parts compatibility with standard 1911 components is a practical advantage for maintenance and upgrades. Slide, barrel, and small parts interchangeability with common 1911-pattern spares makes repairs straightforward for armorers and experienced owners.

Performance and practical considerations

Caliber is listed as N/A on the product listing; prospective buyers should confirm the chambering on the product page and with the seller before purchase. The 1911 platform shines with calibers commonly used for duty and defensive roles—if you need a specific chambering for duty or training, verify that detail on the product page before committing. The listing price of $429.99 positions this pistol as an affordable entry to a service-style 1911 with usable condition.

Note the “Has some cosmetic wear due to use” description—this can be a benefit for budget-minded buyers who want a run-ready gun without the premium for a cosmetically perfect piece. Verify serial, overall function, and seek a gunsmith inspection if buying remotely.

Buying tips

Inspect for function: lockup, extractor, feed ramp, and trigger pull. Ask the seller about service history and holster use.
