[QUOTE="BillM, post: 3397254, member: 45785"] I don't have that specific model, but but I do have a Tisa ZigM1911 that I bought a few years ago. Love it! I was at the Lik in 1983-1985. 186Turkish Lira to the dollar. Wife and I took my neighbor and his wife to dinner at the Sultan, most expensive restaurant in Adana, taxi from the base and back, fanciest dinner on the menu, and we had ice cream at the Baskin Robbins on base afterwards all for a $20 bill. The Turkish Colonel who ran the air base was making $300 a month, and considered rich. The guy how ran Sears in Ripoff Alley was also making about $300 a month. They were considered rich. Loaf of bread in town was a dime. A kilo of fresh cherries was 50 cents. A skilled carpenter was making about 375 Lira a day. When I saw the thing, it was priced $375. Took it out of the box, and shook it. Dad had a couple of former GI 1911's probably built from spare parts. They rattled, but shot just fine. This one didn't rattle. I've had it for about 4 years now. Not shot it a lot, but it has digested everything I've put through it. If you're a shooter not a collector, I think you'll love the Tisas, too. [/QUOTE]
