When it comes to budget 1911s which is better? I saw on r/gundeals that there was a Taurus for sale at graysentinel.com. People in the thread were saying to go for Tisas or RIA. I don't know that much about Tisas and RIAs never felt good in the hand. Any thoughts?

At this point Tisas for sure, they’re all close but Tisas are forged.

Same. Tisas by a significant margin. As a matter of fact, I just ordered another today. PSA has the aluminum frame Commanders on sale for $400

My stainless Taurus has worked flawless since day one - it is a good gun and good accuracy - series 80 though.

Good for a first 1911.

My Tisas Match, after I replaced most of the insides and parts, is a much better gun so far = more accurate, feels better in the hand, smoother functioning.

Get the Tisas and upgrade it to suit your needs.

Tisas. A few years ago when they were introduced to US shooters at sometimes sub $300 for a parkerized model got their foot in the door, and their quality for the price make them a great deal.

I would go with the Tisas.

I considered the Taurus years ago but went another direction.  I remember being at the Taurus booth at a NRA show one year, picked up one of the 1911s and the thumb safety broke when I flipped it down.  Don't know if the gun had been dropped earlier and caused that, or if it was a badly cast part.

Tisas is not asking any cast parts these days. You can’t say that about most manufacturers

Had a Tisas Carry in .45 and a Duty in 9mm. Both needed an over sized FP Stop and work on the extractor. I had a Colt and Ruger, both in 9mm, that I should have kept. They were both so reliable it was boring.
