This is the closest thing I'm finding on Tisas' page to what Bud's is calling a faithful reproduction of the World War I 1911...
https://www.tisasusa.com/product-p/1911a1s.htmIT'S NOT!
But, I can't find anything on Tisas' page that matches, exactly, what Bud's is offering.
What that means to me is that this could be a Bud's special -- a configuration that they requested.
Even if it's a one off special order for them and them alone, it is apparently not what they're claiming it represents.
It's looking more and more like it's one of Tisas' 1911A1 reproductions with a different finish and a flat mainspring housing, but with all of the other alterations that didn't hit the gun until 1926.
To me that's not much different than if Apple were to come out with a spiffy laptop advertised as "An accurate reproduction of Henry VIII's Hampton Court Palace laptop when he ordered Anne Boleyn's beheading! Own a piece of history!"
Complete fucktardery.
