Overview

The Tisas 1911 AI Stakeout is a full-size single-action 1911-pattern pistol chambered in .45 ACP, reintroduced in 2026 under the Tisas (SDS Arms) banner. It pairs a forged carbon-steel Government-length frame and slide with Colt Series 70 internals, a 5-inch cold-hammer-forged barrel, enhanced A1-style sights with a brass bead front insert, and Turkish walnut grips. The QPQ Tenifer finish gives it a durable, corrosion-resistant black surface in a classic single-stack package.
