Anybody own, sold, love, or hate a Taurus 1911

[farmer2001]

A 1911 is on my list of guns to buy, and its time. I really like the look of Taurus's 1911's, especially the ones with a factory rail up front. I have a Taurus PT111 and am satisfied with it even though it is terribly inaccurate. I want to know if anyone has any experience with them. Thanks, Nick

I have one and enjoy it a great deal.

I own one and love it.

There is NOTHING I don't like about mine, boringly reliable, deadly accurate and light recoiling. It's the best 1911 I've owned, and I've owned several from bigger names.

I have owned two, and still have one of them. I got rid of one due to it being railed and I had a hard time getting a holster for it that I liked. Both of them shot and functioned very well.

Just got 1 a week or so ago. Love it. Buy one and don' t look back.

The Taurus PT1911 is a fine pistol. Nothing earth shattering about the fit and finish, or anything else about the pistol for that matter. Just a solid performer and a good value for the money.

Great shooter

I have one and put the Colt away (other 1911). It shoots great, not issues at all.

How is it possible to be satisfied with a gun that is terribly inaccurate. Thats a pretty big deal when looking at a gun lol.

But back on topic, I want a PT1911 too. Nice gun, held one at Gander. Nice that it comes with some features most in that price dont.

I have the Taurus PT1911 AR and I LOVE it !! It is remarkebly accurate and feels great in hand. Fit and finish are everything you could want in a 1911 without spending tons of cash for a "name". The only problem I encountered with mine was finding a holster. With the rail up front - it is slightly bigger than standard 1911's with rails. There are a few manufacturers out there that make a special holster for it but you have to look. Crossbreed is one of them. I ordered a IWB from them but haven't received it yet. Recomendations to come after I receive.

I had one and had to let it go in a trade to get what I wanted. I plan on getting another soon. The one I had shot and functioned every bit as good as my Kimber, just not as pretty. The finish on the blue on I had as somewhat thin, but who cares.

I've never had a TAURUS 1911, but if I get a good deal on one, I'll buy it

I got a stainless PT1911 a month or so ago and have made three trips to the range with it so far. No malfunctions of any kind, shoots well, lots of features and looks nice in stainless.

I have sentimental attachment since it was the first handgun I ever bought! But I now only keep guns that are dead on or I can sight in.

 

[farmer2001]

I like what im hearing! I have the itch even worse! In my opinion the value and quality that I see seals the deal for me. I'll be sure to post pictures when I get one!
Thanks guys for the input!!!

I used to have one. Sold it, but for no real reason. Just wanted something different. There is nothing wrong with a Taurus 1911-
Mine was flawless! Shot anything you fed it and never had a single issue with it.

Ive had one for 5 yrs now. Great gun. mine is a PT1911 homeland defender model. Its accurate and Ive thrown a lot of rounds through it with no jams or misfires. I like that it comes with 8 rd mags but I really like that I can use GI issue 7rd mags with no issues. My dad has a Colt Match 1911, ill take my pt1911 over it any day. Best bang for the buck in my opinion. Im glad i got mine early cause I only paid 450 bucks new for it. Now they are approaching 600 plus.

My grandpa has one and loves it, accurate, reliable and good price.

 

[ryan3030]

I've owned one for a few months now and have shot it quite a bit. No problems so far - I love everything about it.

Here's a pic of it with Hogue grips.

My only regret of selling a gun, was selling my PT1911 over a year ago... needless to say, I traded for another one last week. Its a very good buy.
