yes... the thinness makes it easier.

i have a taurus 1911 and a kimber 4" covert pro. if your on a budget, then taurus is a decent buy, however a springfield gi is a better gun (quality wise) for the same money, but is doesn't have all the "bells and whistles" the taurus has. if your wanting a carry weapon you might want to look for a commander size 1911. yes it is possible to conceal a 5" but you have to work at it. my kimber hides very well with a supertuck holster and having an aluminum frame it is much lighter than my taurus. and yes the kimber shoots WAY better groups than the taurus does. not that the taurus shoots badly but there is a distinct difference. All that being said I believe the taurus is a great entry level gun that will serve its purpose well and will let you decide what your looking for in your next 1911. yes there will be another as 1911's are like tattoo's. one you get one it becomes a disease and more soon follow.
