About this product
The Tisas 1911 Night Stalker 4.25” .45 ACP Cerakote Grey is a compact 1911 variant built for duty and carry applications where muzzle control and low-light readiness matter. Chambered in .45 ACP with a 4.25-inch compensated barrel, this pistol bridges classic 1911 ergonomics with modern performance features. The direct-mount optic cut, tritium front sight, and ambidextrous safety make it a practical choice for shooters who need immediate deployment capability.
What is the Tisas 1911 Night Stalker used for?
The Night Stalker serves best as a duty or defensive carry pistol where muzzle flip reduction and night-sight readiness are priorities. The combination of .45 ACP chambering, compensator cuts, and tritium sighting optimizes it for rapid follow-up shots in low-light conditions. At 2.1 pounds loaded, it's manageable for all-day carry but demands proper holster selection.
How does the Tisas 1911 Night Stalker compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle in .308 Win?
The Night Stalker offers immediate close-quarters defensive capability where the Stevens 334 provides precision at distance—they serve entirely different roles. The 1911's 4.25-inch barrel and .45 ACP chambering deliver effective stopping power within 25 yards, while the Stevens 334's 20-inch barrel and .308 Winchester cartridge excel beyond 200 yards. For home defense, the pistol's compact size and rapid deployment make it superior to a full-length rifle.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
Unloaded weight sits at 34 ounces with overall dimensions of 7.8 inches long, 5.5 inches tall, and 1.3 inches wide. The 4.25-inch barrel keeps the slide compact enough for concealed carry while maintaining adequate sight radius. Magazine insertion adds approximately 6 ounces per loaded 7-round magazine.
Who is this NOT for?
This pistol isn't suitable for beginners or those unfamiliar with 1911 platform maintenance requirements. The single-action trigger and manual safety demand training discipline that striker-fired pistols don't require. If you're looking for a simple bolt-action rifle like the Stevens 334 for occasional hunting, this represents a significant complexity jump.
What's in the box?
You get the pistol, two 7-round magazines, cable lock, and lockable hard case—standard Tisas packaging. The magazines feature anti-tilt followers and robust springs that handle +P ammunition without modification. Total package weight shipped is approximately 5.5 pounds.
Is the Tisas 1911 Night Stalker worth it at $797.99?
At just under $800, this represents solid value for a feature-complete 1911 with compensator and optic readiness. Comparable 1911 models with similar features typically start around $1,100 from established brands. The Cerakote finish and suppressor-height sights alone would cost $200+ as aftermarket additions.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with RMSc optics?
- Yes, the slide is cut for direct RMSc/507K footprint mounting without adapter plates. The cut measures 0.9 inches wide by 1.4 inches long with standard 4-40 mounting screws. This accommodates most micro red dots designed for carry pistols.
- Does it fit standard 1911 holsters?
- It requires holsters designed for Commander-length 1911s with rail—the 4.25-inch barrel and accessory rail alter the profile. Standard Government model holsters will be approximately 0.7 inches too long and lack rail clearance. Safariland 6005 series holsters with Commander sizing work perfectly.
- How long does shipping take?
- FFL shipments typically process within 2 business days and transit adds 3-5 days depending on destination. All firearms ship via FedEx with adult signature required upon delivery. Your chosen FFL must have current credentials on file before shipment.
- Does this work with suppressor-height sights?
- It comes with suppressor-height tritium front sight measuring 0.240 inches tall—adequate for co-witnessing through most micro red dots. The rear sight is standard height but can be replaced with matching suppressor-height rear for absolute co-witness. Sight dovetails follow Novak specifications.
