It's just another Taurus, so what! Well as the owner of Colts, Springfields and Paras I bought a PT1911 when they first came out. Best bang for the buck in any 1911s I've seen. It's my go to 45 for most things, took me a little time to get use to the Heinie Straight Eight Sights. When I did I found out they are great, don't count the rounds I've put through it but a pile and no problems. Sure hope you enjoy yours as much as I like mine.

Wondered about these guns

Only Taurus semi auuto I ever had was a PT 92. Sucker did NOT shoot groups.. It shot patterns. Heck I have a 410 that will group better'n that thing. I may have to try one of these things. I really have a thiing about 45s..own quite a few..Even the ol Charles Daly 1911 shoots darn good.

6.5s4ever, just paging throug the handgun section and read this one. I have a early PT1911 so it's got a lot of rounds through it and I like it. Dug it out of the safe along with my favorite 1911 an old Cold LW Commander from the 60s, loaded up some magazines and waiting for the morning. Haven't shot the Taurus in over a year, way to long and the weather is going to be great, high in the 60s. Time to put some rounds through both. Mine has the Straight 8 sight by Hienie, took me about a box of shells to get use to it. Now I really like it. Been shooting 1911s since back in the 50s when issued one in the Army, have owned all sorts of them since then. I bought the Taurus to try out, didn't think it would stact up to my other Colts and a Springfield, well I was pleasantly surprized, it's a keeper.

Popplecop,
Sorry so long to comment I have been busy in my job and have not been on the
laptop much. I inspect and secure Foreclosed homes and travel a 8 county area.
The PT-1911 Taurus I bought is amazing in the accuracy dept. I use a Lasermax laser on it and it groups very well. Yes its a keeper in my book and
is also my nightstand gun.
Regards 6.5

Bought a PT 1911 when they first came, only thing I changed was the lousy grips that came on it. Tolok me about a 100 rds to get used to the Heinie Straight 8 sights, but when I did I really liked them. Very accurate and I'll keep it.
