Two Raiders. One legacy.

Some pistols chase trends. The Raider never needed to.

Its military roots made it a legend, and Tisas rebuilt it with the obsession it deserves: faithful lines, faithful finish, faithful performance. Choose the pure reproduction or the modern, optics and suppressor ready configuration. Either way, it honors the Marines who carried the original and puts that quality within reach of the veteran community.

Two Raiders

1911 M45A1 Raider 5" · 10100509

As close to the real thing as it gets.

  • 4140 steel construction built for hard use
  • All forged internals and externals, no MIM
  • Enhanced slide to frame fit, integrated Picatinny accessory rail

This is the Raider for the shooter who wants it right.

The 5" Raider is a near 1:1 reproduction of the military pattern 1911 that set the standard, and every detail is chased down: the signature H-299 Cerakote finish, Novak pattern sights, faithfully reproduced G10 grip panels and 4140 steel construction. Nothing flashy. Nothing added to be different. Just the look, the feel and the specifications of the original Raider, built with Tisas fit and finish.

Under the finish, the work gets serious. All forged internals and externals with no MIM, an upgraded slide to frame fit and a Series 70 trigger system with a clean 3.5 to 5 lb pull deliver the authentic experience the platform is known for. An integrated Picatinny accessory rail keeps it ready for your accessories.

1911 M45A1 Raider TH 5.5" · 10100511

Same Raider. Ready for what comes next.

  • H-299 Cerakote, Novak pattern sights, G10 grips
  • 4140 steel. All forged internals and externals, no MIM
  • Enhanced slide to frame fit, integrated Picatinny accessory rail
  • Series 70 trigger system, 3.5 to 5 lb pull

The Raider TH keeps everything that makes the Raider a Raider, then moves it forward.

A 5.5" threaded barrel makes it suppressor ready, and the Agency Optics System (AOS) optic cut, with an RMR mounting plate, gives you modern optics compatibility without giving up the faithful look. It is the military icon, updated for the way people actually shoot today.

You still get the H-299 Cerakote finish, Novak pattern sights, faithfully reproduced G10 grips, 4140 steel construction, all forged internals and externals with no MIM, the enhanced slide to frame fit, the integrated Picatinny accessory rail and the Series 70 trigger system with a 3.5 to 5 lb pull.

Built to honor the Marines. Priced for the ones who served.

The Raider commemorates the Marines who carried the original into service and the legacy they built with it. Tisas builds it to give the veteran community something it has earned: serious quality at a price a veteran can actually afford. No shortcuts on steel. No shortcuts on forged internals. No boutique price tag. Just a pistol worthy of the people it honors.

  • For the veteran community. Real quality without the collector price.
  • For the Marines who served. A faithful tribute to the pistol they trusted.
  • For every shooter. Heritage you can own, carry and pass down.
