<\/noscript>After more than 100 years of production how about we find a 1911 that can just be simply enjoyed at the range? Fancy builds are subjectively pretty, and performance builds are great so long as their maintained (yes, it\u2019s time we all admit the 1911 platform simply requires more attention from the owner than your average striker-fired plastic gun). A 1911 that can be fun at the range, tolerate a bit of abuse, yet still let us celebrate the aesthetics, history, and shooting experience of the 1911.<\/p>\n<\/noscript>The Tisas Tank Commander retains the classic beauty of the 1911<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nI believe Tisas USA has achieved that with the Tank Commander. A full-size frame, but shorter 4.25\u2033 barrel. Some slight historic upgrades from the original design to enhance the shooting experience, but overall a very \u201cclassic\u201d build. The Tank Commander is offered in both 45acp and 9mm. We opted for the 9mm variant for the ballistic advantage of 9mm through a barrel over 4\u2033 rather than the ballistic handicap of 45acp from a barrel under 5\u2033. I\u2019m sure someone is crying at the idea of Luger\u2019s cartridge through Browning\u2019s pistol, but it\u2019s 2022, 9mm has long reigned as the more practical pistol catridge.<\/p>\n<\/noscript>About the only texturing you\u2019ll find is on the mainspring housing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nLooking over the gun aficionados Will see a mix of old and new that I\u2019m sure will have traditionalists offended (and for those guys, YES, we did get a 1911 in 9mm!). I found the blend to be just right, and the grey cerakote gives the look of a parkerized gun, but in a more even finish.

The video below will show you (with two different shooters): absolute first shots with the gun, full magazine +1 with the included magazines, a multi-mag test to see how the gun runs with other 9mm 1911 magazines, our trademarked What\u2019s For Dinner multi-load test, a challenge for sight and trigger control, practical accuracy, and our concluding thoughts.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Tisas Tank Commander 9mm 1911 Shooting Impressions\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Xt5C8oFg4eE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/span><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s no surprise that a 2lb, all-steel gun is pleasant to shoot. Despite the lack of front strap texturing the Tisas Tank Commander\u2019s heft and 4.25\u2033 barrel made controlling 9mm a breeze. The rounded hammer stayed clear of my hand despite the rather slim beavertail, and enlarged sights were more visible than expected despite their lack of color.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_533053\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-533053\" style=\"width: 696px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-533053\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Safety-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Safety-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Safety-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Safety-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Safety-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Safety-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Safety-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Safety-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Safety-1920x1080.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Safety-747x420.jpg 747w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Safety-560x315.jpg 560w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Safety-700x394.jpg\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-533053\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Safety-700x394.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Safety-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Safety-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Safety-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Safety-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Safety-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Safety-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Safety-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Safety-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Safety-1920x1080.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Safety-747x420.jpg 747w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Safety-560x315.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-533053\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Tank Commander\u2019s safety and hammer are tastefully upgraded.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I did feel a bit of bite from the narrow beavertail, but not so much that I didn\u2019t want to keep shooting. Subtle trigger serrations did a fine job of assisting with traction, overall the Tisas Tank Commander is a fun gun to shoot, and with a market price of around $400 it\u2019s hard to legitimize any complaints. There aren\u2019t many guns on the market offering all-steel construction at a price point that affordable.<\/p>\n<p>It may not carry a collector-grade name, but doesn\u2019t have collector-grade pricing either. The Tisas Tank Commander is a perfect 1911 for someone wanting a classic they can enjoy without stressing over.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Ratings (out of five stars):<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Reliability * * * * *<\/strong><br \/>Here\u2019s a shocker for some folks, the Tisas Tank Commander in 9mm ran eleven different loads without issue<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ergonomics * * * *\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>It\u2019s hard to beat the ergonomics of a 1911. The only thing holding the Tank Commander back from a higher score is the barrow beavertail, although historically more accurate, also not the most comfortable.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Accuracy * * * * *<\/strong><br \/>With the right load it shoots great, a trigger job might help make accuracy easier.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Concealability * * *\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>2lbs of steel is a lot to carry around. The 1911\u2019s slim design is a plus, but with a full-length grip you might find concealment challenging depending on carry postion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Overall: * * * * 1\/2<\/strong><br \/>A great value for those wanting to truly enjoy a 1911.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-next-post-navi\">\n<p>\nNext Post Coming Soon…\u25b6\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/gun-review-tisas-tank-commander-9mm-1911\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Next Post Coming Soon…\u25b6 After more than 100 years of production how about we find a 1911 that can just be simply enjoyed at the range?
