Taurus pt1911?

Do yourself a favor. For the same amount of money get a RIA 1911 and don't look back. These may be the best value in the 1911 market. I have two, and want another in Super 38 if I can ever find one. I leave the Colts in the safe and shoot these. They are 95% as good and a whole lot more fun. I also buy wear and tear parts from Wilson Combat and magazines.

CJ just sent me a telepathic message. Transcript follows:
"A Taurus will blow up in your hand, drink all of your koolaid and put the empty pitcher back in the fridge, leave your bathroom light on, and knock over your trashcan. Other than that, well, and them giving you the HIV, they are just fine."

haha!

I have been looking at the RIA 1911's also. Which parts tend to wear out first? And is there anything special needed to be done to a nib ria some ppl say clean it and reoil it and others say shoot it as is for 500 ounds then clean it.

So this is why I woke up in a cold sweat on Saturday night. There's nothing wrong with a Taurus 1911. Other than the fact it's made by Taurus. I hear their customer service is great though. Some of the most experienced/quickest warranty work in the business.

I have had a couple. Loved my Pt-140, didn't like the Pt-145. I now have a pt 638 and like it just fine. I have lots of guns and some that are considerably more exspensive. But those live in the safe. I can bear losing a taurus vs a $1000 Kimber.
