About this product
What is the Tisas 1911 Night Stalker SF 9mm 5-inch Threaded Barrel? This full-size pistol combines forged steel construction with modern suppressor-ready features, maintaining the classic 1911 design. Built by Tisas with Ironclad Armory oversight, it includes an optics-ready slide and ambidextrous controls. Its 5-inch cold hammer-forged barrel and Picatinny rail make it suitable for duty, competition, or range use.
What is the Tisas 1911 Night Stalker SF used for?
The Night Stalker SF excels in duty-oriented applications and competition shooting due to its precise 1911 platform. Its forged steel frame supports heavy use, while the threaded barrel allows for suppressor attachment, reducing noise by approximately 25 decibels. The ambidextrous safety and night sights enable low-light operation, ideal for tactical scenarios.
How does the Tisas 1911 Night Stalker SF compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Night Stalker SF is better for close-quarters duty and suppressed fire, whereas the Stevens 334 Rifle in .308 Win excels at long-range precision. At 2.8 pounds unloaded, the pistol offers faster handling than the 7.5-pound rifle, making it superior for rapid target engagement within 50 yards. The rifle’s 20-inch barrel provides better accuracy beyond 200 meters.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The Night Stalker SF weighs 2.8 pounds (44.8 ounces) unloaded and measures 8.7 inches in length, 5.5 inches in height, and 1.3 inches in width. Its 5-inch barrel contributes to a sight radius of 6.9 inches, enhancing accuracy. The steel frame adds durability but increases weight compared to polymer alternatives.
Who is this NOT for?
This pistol is not ideal for concealed carry due to its full-size frame and weight of 2.8 pounds. Shooters preferring lightweight or compact firearms, such as those under 20 ounces, should consider subcompacts like the Glock 43X. The single-action trigger also requires more training for safe handling compared to striker-fired models.
What's in the box?
The package includes two 9-round magazines, a lockable hard case, and a cable lock for secure storage. Additional contents are a user manual and a warranty card, covering defects for one year. The case dimensions are 12x10x4 inches, providing ample space for the pistol and accessories.
Is the Tisas 1911 Night Stalker SF worth it at $881.99?
At $881.99, it offers value for shooters needing a suppressor-ready 1911 with forged steel construction. Compared to custom builds costing over $1,200, it saves approximately 27% while including optics readiness. However, budget-conscious buyers might prefer the Stevens 334 Rifle for long-range applications at a lower price point.

- Does it fit standard 1911 holsters?
- Most full-size 1911 holsters accommodate it, but the Picatinny rail may require specific models. Check for rail-compatible holsters from brands like Safariland or Blackhawk. The width of 1.3 inches matches traditional 1911 dimensions.
