Tisas 1911 Duty B9R Double Stack 12500017 9MM Luger

The 1911 pistol is a mature platform. The sidearms have been in common use by military, law enforcement, and civilians alike for more than 100 years. Properly-trained gunsmiths know how to make them run reliably, and properly-trained shooters know how to employ them. The grip angle is just about perfect, and the single-action trigger can be one of the best in the handgun world. Sights have improved exponentially over the last century, as have magazines and the ammo that goes in them. Primary concerns for those using a 1911 on a regular basis are ammo capacity and price. Here, we have two imported 9mm pistols that we think address both issues.
