Tisas has built a following among 1911 shooters by delivering forged-steel pistols with features that used to require a custom shop, and the Duty is the working model of the line. This one is a full-size 5-inch .45 ACP finished in black, with a forged frame and slide, a modern beavertail grip safety, a skeletonized trigger and low-profile sights that pick up quickly. The .45 ACP in a Government-length 1911 remains the standard by which defensive pistols are judged for many shooters: a full-power round, a grip that fits most hands and a trigger that rewards fundamentals. It suits nightstand duty, range work and anyone stepping into the 1911 world for the first time.
