Tisas Arms 1911 Spartan Features The Tisas Arms 1911 Spartan is built around a forged carbon steel frame and slide designed to handle the recoil of .45 ACP over thousands of rounds without losing its fit or lockup. The cold hammer forged barrel contributes to long-term accuracy and barrel life an advantage of that forging process over less demanding manufacturing methods. An exposed hammer and thumb safety keep the manual of arms familiar to any 1911 shooter while the serrated slide provides secure purchase for racking under stress or with gloved hands. Every detail on this pistol is oriented toward shooters who want traditional 1911 operation without compromise. The distressed multi-color cerakote finish covering the frame and slide is applied to look worn and lived-in from day one giving the pistol a character that typical factory finishes do not offer. An extended beavertail improves grip purchase and helps protect the web of the hand during firing a meaningful comfort upgrade for high round count sessions. Aluminum cerakote grips with engraving replace typical polymer grip panels adding a tactile premium feel to the frame in the hand. Together these details make the Spartan as much a statement piece as a working sidearm for enthusiasts of classic 1911 design.
