I don't have the Duty version but if I was going to carry a 1911 regularly it would be one of these or perhaps another Tisas that has more practical features than my M1911 A1 US ARMY version. I tried a friend's US ARMY version before buying one and was floored with how smooth and tight it was. Also, at 25 yards I was able to hit steel plates 7 out of 8 times while having never fired it before. It is more accurate than I am. As a Journeyman Toolmaker, I really appreciate the machining AFTER hardening. This way dimensions don't change from the heat treat process (even a couple thousandths of an inch is significant to a machine trades guy). This also makes the machining process a little more expensive, needing to use carbide end mills, but somehow I was still able to get my Tisas US ARMY for $300 (Latest incarnation, actually phosphate plated and even more accurate of a reproduction). These guns are certainly the best deal on the market. I was never interested in getting a .45 but when I learned about Tisas I realized I couldn't afford NOT to get one. I got the one I did for the historical aspect. Sure, it's not an original, but it sure looks the part, and it functions like a top tier made firearm. It is yet to have a failure of any kind, but I've only got about 600 rounds through it. It also has no problem with Federal HST Hollow Points.
Thank you I just subscribed to your channel and I noticed you look familiar and I believe you sold me that 1911 . You actually sold me an AR-15 as well. I go in there with my wife.
@@rayv882 - You're welcome......but no....I have not sold you anything. I've never even owned an AR, nor am I in the gun industry. I've been told many times I look like someone people have seen before. I guess it is just a very generic face. ;)

Good stuff bud I appreciate the comment and yes my Tisas is very accurate as you mention I was blown away on the performance and accuracy of my Tisas!
