Wanted a 99% stainless 1911... started with a Tisas Carry SS45R

[mreed911]

Wanted a stainless 1911.  Tisas sells one that is mostly stainless with black parts.  A couple of replacement parts later (plug, mag release) and some H-147 Cerakote by Scattered Rock Armory in Liberty Hill, TX, and voila... 99% stainless.  Now I just need to figure out the grips I want.  Not for competition... just a small pet project.

Looks mighty nice.

The Tisas 1911s for the price are really nice.   I had one that I changed all the internals out in it and milled it for a red dot then ported the barrel.   I was using it for an idpa CO gun. 
 

Typically they have a nice slide to frame and barrel to slide fit.   
But I have come across some that were poorly fitted.

This one was fantastic out of the box.  3.5# trigger and a tight fit.  I'm down to 3# after a little sear spring bending and where I want to be.

 

Only thing I'm holding out for is the magwell MSH from Tisas.  Should restock in a few weeks... and I want to keep it Tisas where I can just because.

Thanks.  Saw $900 all stainless guns then saw this at $450 and said "I can make that happen."
