The Tisas 1911 Viking (brand part no. 10100518AA3) is a full-size 1911 pistol chambered in .45 ACP, built on the classic government frame that’s defined the platform for over a century. A 5-inch barrel gives it the sight radius and balance 1911 shooters expect, while the single-stack 7+1 capacity keeps the grip slim and comfortable for extended range sessions. Tisas builds this Viking model to traditional government-size dimensions, making it a solid choice for range use, home defense, or as an entry point into the 1911 platform without straying from the original design. It’s a straightforward, all-steel 1911 for shooters who want the classic feel done right.
