Handgun Evaluation: Taurus PT1911
I bought the PT1911 at the Richmond gun show in May on a whim. I've wanted a 1911 and the price and reviews for the Taurus were too good to pass up.
Positives: High-end features for under $500. Very accurate shooter with junk ammo. If I don't get into the trigger snatch I'm sometimes prone to do, the PT1911 will make one ragged hole in the x-ring at 15 yards. Great trigger.
Negatives: The pistol is too new to develop much of a list. The only "negative" I've found is that I didn't like the stock grips. This was fixed with by a set of Hogue wraparounds.
Overall: The PT1911 may not be as "good" as the high-end 1911's. It seems to match them for accuracy and feel. I'd strongly recommend this pistol for anyone considering a 1911.
