Jim, it's about time you star thinking 1911s!! i promise you won't regret it!! As soon as I slow down from work ( when will that be!!) You are welcome to shoot what I have.. so you can make your decision w/c way to go...Just bring your 45 ammo.. Dang, it's getting expensive..jbenat wrote:I read the same article in American Sportsman about the PT1911. Sounded pretty good. I saw one at the Denton Gun Show on 7/22/6. At that time, it was priced at $460.00. Maybe it will be priced the same at the next Mesquite show.
I've been kind of keeping a eye out for negatives about it but I have seen very few. Except for people that just don't like Taurus. A 1911 is in my future but not sure which one yet. I'm partial to S & W but Springfield Arms sounds good too. I would like a Kimber but that would probably break the bank. Too many choices, glad I got some time.
Personally, I like a Taurus PT 1911.. I"m also shopping around for a RIA that has some upgrades e.g. beaver tail safety grips etc...at a decent price..
Later Jim!
