I'm very interested in the SR1911, but I will continue to buy the Taurus PT1911 at every opportunity.jeeperbryan wrote:Well so much for the Taurus and Rock Island Armory 1911 sales. With the Ruger going for sub $600 I see no reason why anyone would go with a foreign made 1911.
Last week, I bought the alloy framed Taurus from Larry's Pistol and Pawn for $449.

Yesterday, I bought the stainless PT1911 in .38 Super from CDNN for $449. (Blued $399, prices thru 5/20) Why .38 Super? Mainly cause I had one 35 years ago and loved it.
If the Ruger proves out, I will definitely buy one but will wait for further reviews.
Before buying these two, I own an Auto Ordnance (Kahr), two Springfields, a Kimber, and four PT1911s. The four PT1911s have been perfect while the other brands all required multiple factory visits to be reliable.
As far as I'm concerned, the SR1911 has some big shoes to fill.
