This video tests the durability of a Glock 17 and a Tisas 1911 Duty by dropping them from a 20-story tower. Despite significant damage, including a bent Glock frame and a dented 1911 magwell, both firearms were field-repaired and successfully fired full magazines at the range. Both guns proved to be combat accurate post-drop, with the 1911's accuracy even tightening.
The Tisas 1911 Duty in .45 ACP offers solid performance for its price point, making it a good option for those seeking an affordable 1911. While the trigger reset is longer than some high-end models, requiring adjustment for rapid fire, the all-steel frame effectively manages recoil. It's recommended for shooters willing to familiarize themselves with its specific trigger characteristics.
