I got my PT1911 about a year ago...great gun. I've also got a colt combat commander and I can say the Taurus stacks up well against it. Shoots dirty blazer brass with little complaint. Regarding the mags, I've used my colt mags in the Taurus and vice versa with no problems. I even bought some cheapo 7rd 1911 mags off the net a while back and they work fine as well.

I think you're confirming my earlier suggestion; i.e., my PT 1911 isn't very particular and will handle just about anything thrown at it? I can't say the same for my Kimber Custom II Target. The Kimber wants everything it's way and just right or it gets mad and won't go bang.

I am having a little trouble finding extra magazines for it though. Can anybody make some suggestions? I tried Kimber (which didn't seem to work at all), and Wilson Combat (which work, but I'm not convinced they're right). I can't seem to find anybody that actually sells the Taurus magazines.
