Okay.
I couldn’t help myself (and if you believe that one, I’ll tell you another)  and picked up one of the Turk TİSAŞ 1911 ‘Tanker’ models, which is their version of a commander sized .45.

Nothing special here. The trigger pulls very clean around 4 libra pondos. It has a flat parkerized finish. Brown plastic checkered grips. Plain military style, and sized, fixed sights and one (1) 8 round magazine for just under 5 Benjamins, out the door, tax included.

As soon as I’m confident in its performance and reliability, it’s going to be added to my group of guns I carry. There is only one thing I’m going to do to it, and that is to install an ambidextrous safety since I’m predominately a left hander.

I’ll work up a post like AK and I used to do ‘way back’ and report my shooting results etc.

We now return you to our regular programming.  Miles Out.
