Tisas Partners with Civilian Marksmanship Program to Build 1911 Pistol

January 22, 2024
By SDS Press Release

Tisas USA, a division of SDS Imports, the internationally recognized firearms manufacturer that provides high quality firearms at unrivaled value is pleased to announce a partnership with the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP).  Tisas is the first commercial manufacturer to build a 1911, or any other commercial pistol for the CMP.

The Tisas M1911 A1 is a museum-grade reproduction of a mid-war contract M1911A1 as it was issued during the Second World War. The CMP version, which will have the CMP markings on it, will be sold exclusively through CMP stores and website.

“We are quite honored and very excited to have partnered with the Civilian Marksmanship Program on this project,” stated SDS/Tisas USA CEO Tim Mulverhill. “Being able to take our historical accurate Tisas M1911 A1 and offer it in an exclusive CMP model is a great opportunity for Tisas to show their commitment to helping train and educate United States citizens in the responsible use of firearms.”

“The CMP is pleased to announce our partnership with Tisas USA to provide this extraordinary CMP-branded, museum-grade replica of the M1911A1 to our many customers and competitors,” said CEO, Jerry O’Keefe.  “This pistol will make a great companion piece to the surplus M1911A1 pistols sold by the CMP or just a great pistol on its own to shoot or collect! This is part of CMP’s effort to expand our pistol offerings both in sales and competitions.  For example, on the competitions side we look forward to our second year hosting the CMP Bianchi Cup May 21st-24th in Hallsville, MO with the Green Valley Rifle and Pistol Club.”

That's kind of awesome.

Has any other manufacturer been able to to this?

I hope it's not some cheap stamp, and that the CMP guys can vet the quality prior to release.

We already Know the quality is better than the originals.

Does that mean it can be shipped directly to me?
I have my fingers crossed I can squeeze in a trip to Camp Perry in April. Maybe they'll have them in stock.

great news - thanks for posting - I'll have to be on the lookout for it

Is it still going to have a lowered ejection port or are they going to fix that?

I had one of these. I thought it was very well made, but I happily traded it to my Dad for his Rock-Ola M1 carbine.

Springfield 1911 mil-spec

Calling it mil spec is not the same as a Camp Perry partnership.
Edit: sorry, meant CMP, not Camp Perry.

Gross

On the one hand it says museum grade, on the other hand the spec sheet calls out a reprofiled ejection port and the Rep refers to their 1911A1 in the present tense.

I think it's a great idea. A few companies have manufactured the M1 Garand and M1 Carbine repros to get those classic WW2 guns more available for people to enjoy and shoot. Makes sense that CMP might want to collaborate with Tisas to build a 1911A1 repro. They do make quality handguns.

The CMP and the regular Tisas Armed Services 1911A1 have the original high ejection port, 1943 skinny hammer like Ithaca and Remington Rand used, and a correct mainspring housing as far as number and spacing of ribs. No bevel on magwell.

Wonder what the markings will be like?

Ive already got one,… it’s very nice
