Tisas 1911 A1 Features The Tisas Arms Customs 1911 A1 Service Backwoods is built on a carbon steel frame and slide giving the pistol the weight and durability that define the classic government sized 1911 platform. The 5 inch barrel delivers the full sight radius and muzzle velocity that 1911 shooters expect from a full length service pistol chambered in .45 ACP. Slide serrations are cut for a confident secure grip when racking the slide whether loading clearing or performing a press check. A beavertail on the frame helps protect the shooter s hand from slide bite while improving the pistol s overall pointability and control during rapid fire. Chambered in .45 ACP the Service Backwoods carries 7+1 capacity in its single stack magazine staying true to the traditional 1911 feeding system rather than a modern double stack design. Two magazines ship with the pistol giving shooters enough capacity on hand for range sessions or carry without needing to purchase additional magazines right away. At 2.27 pounds and an 8.5 inch overall length the pistol carries the substantial confidence inspiring heft that steel framed 1911 pattern pistols are known for. For shooters who want an authentic 1911 experience in .45 ACP with the added security of a beavertail grip safety this Tisas Arms Customs Service Backwoods model delivers classic performance in a dependable package.
