Taurus 1911

Looking at a taurus 1911 this weekend anyone own one are they some count ?

I have one and I have never had a bit of trouble with it. Have put several hundred rounds of various types of ammo through it without any problems.

I have just about every 1911 made except a remington and a ed brown and the pt 1911 is as good as about any other one i have

I've only worked on 2 of them. Both had the bushing hole in the slide reamed so big, an oversized bushing had to be welded up and refit to make either shoot into an 8" circle at 25 yards...YMMV

They always functioned fine though...Never the first jam, per the owner

10 4 thinking about picking me up a stainless pt1911 for 550

For that kind of money, you could get into a nice Rock Island Armory … I've never seen one of those with out of spec parts
For a little more, you could probably find a nice used Ruger SR1911

They will work

Taurus quality is hit or miss and your resale value will be crap.i've seen Remington/para 1911's around $550 on sale recently that would be my pick.alot of people swear by the rock island guns also

If I had a $550 budget, I would pick up a Springfield Armory mil spec or like Gundoc said, try to find a Ruger SR1911 as cheap as I could get it.

Yeah Springfield milspec would be good

Hell he went up 50 bucks on price from last week so guess I'll wait find a better one

Yeah, Taurus don't make a gun I'd give $600.00 for

There was one on here, a Springfield loaded for a good price.

Look @ American Tactical Imports (ATI). I bought one last year for around 330.00 and it has not missed a beat. Fit & finish are fine also.

Add $75 to it and pick this one up

Yep.......................

Thanks for all input I settled for a gen 4 glock 22 more practical because I can inter swap mags with my gen 2 sub 2000.

Swap barrels too and make it a .357 sig or a 9mm 'skeeter blaster!

Now that would be badass ha ha

Ive always wanted a 357 sig
