This week I picked a really cool gun from a brand people may be sleeping on. Tisas/SDS imports have been making noise in the 1911 world with their budget-friendly 1911 lineup. Now you may be thinking oh it’s a cheap 1911, it’s probably junk. You would be wrong. These 1911s are probably the best sub-800 dollar 1911s you can get. There are a couple options that go above $1,000 starting but they have 16 total options, so 14 of them are below $1,000. The quality is there, they are built very very well and even the super snobby 1`911 fans have acknowledged the quality of these pistols. They are not just .45, they come in 9mm and even 10mm!
The pistol I am wanting to highlight in their lineup is the Tisas 1911 D10 which is chambered in 10mm.
The spec sheet alone speaks for itself.

Without getting into the ballistics and argument of .45 over other calibers, I think this is a great option for home defense or if you want to carry it.
Check one out!
