Tisas USA Introduces the new 1911 Tank Commander Model

When it comes to American handguns, few designs are as popular or as long-lived as the 1911 pistol design. One of the most popular variants of the pistol to come out over the years is the “Commander” style which was built at the request of tank crews for a 9mm pistol that was more compact than their standard G.I. style 1911 pistols at the time. Tisas USA has just announced the introduction of their own Tank Commander model 1911 pistol which is available now through Tisas’ distributors and dealers.

The Tank Commander follows the same design language as the 1911 “Commander” model pistols in that it features a shorter 4.25″ barrel, and is also available in the 9mm cartridge. What’s interesting about this particular model is that it is also available in a Cerakote finish which is somewhat odd for 1911 pistols which usually feature a nitride, stainless, or blued finish as opposed to a paint-based one. At the time of writing, the Tisas 1911 A1 Tank Commander pistol is being sold through Tisas’ dealers and distributors for an MSRP of $429.95. The pistol will come with two 7-round magazines, Series 70 1911 internals, a cleaning kit, and a waterproof lockable hard case with a fitted cut foam insert.

Let us know if you’ve had experience with Commander/Tanker sized 1911s and if you like them or still prefer the full-sized G.I. style 1911 pistols down in the comments.
