    First I've heard of this make, but I did just pick up a CZ 75 clone that is of Turkish manufacture, and I have found the materials and workmanship to be quite good.

    These entry level 1911's are a dice roll....some run....some do not. Check out the customer service before getting involved. He may need it.

    I just brought another Springer home myself. Was not looking but we all know how that goes.

    Well it has been a few weeks since this thread was started. Any INGOer's with first hand experience with one of these 1911's?

    The guy working for the place selling them sure likes them, that's gotta mean something.....right?

    I have read several articles about this company, nice modern factory. A computer can cut out just as good a part in Turkey as anywhere else. A couple good programmers, a couple good QC guys and a warehouse full of idiots and you can build quality parts.

    I think the consensus regarding 1911's is that you get what you pay for.

    Guns, like most things, when it comes to quality relative to price, are subject to the principle of diminishing returns. The farther up the price scale you go the smaller the improvements get per dollar, untill eventually further improvements are so costly no one wants to pay for them.

    If I were in the market for an entry level 1911 I don't think I would be afraid of one of these.

    As soon as funds permit, I'm getting one of these Tisas and an ATI FXwhateverfullsizeGI and run them against an older 1911, just to see what's up with them.
