Re: Taurus PT1911

One of the Locktite products should solve that problem.
One of them is designed to wick into the gap
Another is designed to make a press fit out of a slip fit, but requires disassembly.
Any of them can be released with a touch from a soldering iron or heat gun to melt the bond.

Re: Taurus PT1911

The PT1911 I had was railed with alloy frame, 5".
For me, the alloy frame on the full-size gun affected the balance adversely. It felt front- & top-heavy.
I decided there was a reason you don't see many full-size alloy frames. In a 4" or shorter gun it balances much better.

Other than that, mine was a good shooter. It did feel a little more loose than a Springfield, but that may have been subjective due to the light weight.
