Reply With QuoteGood report. I'm impressed with mine as a few of my shooting buddies are. I won a PT1911 AR at my local range raffle, best $20 bucks I ever spent and the first thing I ever won in all my 50 years.

STI left hand safety and range time....FINALLY!!!!
Didn't think I'd ever get to the range but finally went today.
Before I went, I swapped out the ambi-safety with an STI left handed safety that I got from Midway. Dropped in like it was going home to momma, no fitting required and it functions like it should.
Put 300 rounds through the 1911SS and it was flawless! Didn't get 1" groups but didn't expect to with these 58 yr old eyes. It did what I wanted it to and better at 5, 7, 15, and 25 yard ranges though.
The 2 Taurus mags and 3 Chip McCormick mags all functioned great also.
The range had a nice collection of 1911's for sale, I was really impressed with the Kimber they had for $1300.00. They also had a nice stainless Springfield Armory 1911 for $900.00. My question is, why would anyone pay that much for a 1911 when the Taurus does everything it should for far less money? After shooting the Taurus, I don't think I'd swap it for the others even on a gun for gun swap.
The Taurus is that nice.
Glad I got the Stainless model also and I love the Pachmayr grips.

Hey funnyrunner, you said you put a left hand safety on your PT1911.
The picture shows the safety on the left side of the pistol.
But are you right handed? And you sweep the safety off with your right thumb, correct?
The first sign of intelligence is admitting one's ignorance!
Stay safe & aim true, from your humble servant..
